Sokol Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 please, can someone tell his "best practice" - we get patches, and we like what we see - and we prolly spend hours on reinstalling our loved mods and add-ons. i always save a clean copy of SF:P1 and WOV, updated to the latest patch, copy it again and try to reapply the mods which are still in my "old" install. how do i know which files / mods may be overwritten without harming the patch ? how do you handle this problem ? thx Sokol Quote

In the case of the recent patch which was small - I just installed it over my modded versions - and took out the sea and terrain mods from the terrain folder - to try out the new sea. Then i just put back some of the bits i wanted. I to have basic fresh installs that i just patch and then copy over - but I will only do this if a large patch comes out like SP4 - its annoying having to install so many mods again :( Quote
