    I could have sworn it already worked. I’m worried this will fuck up a bunch of mods. If it has better performance I guess that’s nice but is Bethesda capable of performance?

      Updates that change the .exe will always cause incompatibility with F4SE mods until F4SE can release a .dll update. Usually happens pretty fast though.

    They said that along with workshop items and the Enclave Colonel uniform they’re also including some other previously released content:
