Hi, if you're looking into modding and you wanna non-modded and modded game do you have to back up your files even though you've got the non-modded version? I Know this might be obvious to some of you and might even think I'm dumb. I'm just making sure before i mess anything up

-Thanks-

Hello SoulKiller,

Whenever you make any modification to a game it's highly recommended to backup the files you are modifying. If you are modifying a whole game then you can copy the whole program file for that game, located in the C: drive. You can copy this to another HDD or the current C: drive if you aren't worried about space. This isn't recommended though as it can lead to a corrupt game.

The better option to ensure that the game will work you can do a fresh install every time to switch between modded and unmodded.

Regards,

Ryan.
