ronzem Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hi I'm switching over to Intel next week. So I need to reinstall my OS togheter with Skyrim. How should I backup my game and mods? My plan was to just save the Skyrim folder on another drive.. and then copy paste that over a fresh Skyrim install. Any other ideas? Link to comment
Aydoo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 IF you were using MO, then I'd just back up my MO stuff, and reinstall Skyrim, since your Skyrim folder should be Vanilla outside of ENB files :X Link to comment
feral Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 What I do for a back-up copy of Skyrim since I bought mine on steam, is that when I downloaded the files and installed them, I made a copy of the entire skyrim folder and renamed it "Skyrim backup". If I ever need to completely undo my modding BS and start fresh again, all I do is delete the folder in which I was playing and make a new copy from the backup copy. Takes up room on my drive, yeah; but saves me hours of downloading. Link to comment
Slorm Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If you're using NMM you'll need to back up your mod folder and any other folders you keep manual mods in. Download skyrim from Steam and get it set up (start it once), then overwrite with the backed up copy of skyrim. Install NMM and overwrite the new mod folder with the backed up one (c:\games\nexus mod manager) You'll also need to reinstall SKSE and FNIS once you've got skyrim in place. It's pretty straightforward Link to comment
