Steam – Would switching all the mods from the Steam Workshop to Nexus affect the current saves

modssteam-workshopthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

I currently use workshop for some mods but recently installed nexus. Both systems work fine side by side. However, I would like to switch to using nexus only. I'd prefer just using one modding app for simplicity sake. Can anyone tell me, if I unsubscribe from the workshop version and install the nexus version of a mod (particularly follower mods), will I lose things like my followers, the items they are carrying, etc?

Best Answer

No. It's just a different way of downloading the files.

You might have problems with different versions of mods, but those should usually be minor.

But as always: Back up your saves.
