Am I wrong then? Well, for me, the game Left 4 Dead 2 was downloading items from workshop while I was playing Don't know if it's same for Skyrim. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Yes they will download in the background. I do ran into a issue that I think was caused by a failed new character creation mod, where the message "Press X to loot bodies" would stay in the middle of screen, across all saves, even starting a new game.

I deleted the settings file the game creates if you modify the settings and the message disappeared though. Ironically the fact that most mods uninstall clean is a side effect of Sony's restrictions.

As next to no scripts. The restrictions still suck of course. The ones that have issues from uninstalling tend to be ones that change fundamental numbers in the game such as realistic timescale and the overhall mod where not everything it changed reverts. Though there is a reversion mod that resets those numbers to vanilla. A clever fix. Most important thing is load order and keeping an eye out for conflicting mods. Last save i ran into conflicts between some of the mods i had and needed to find the issue, Seemed the reverb overhaul mod was conflicting.

Caused the game to crash twice. Had various other kinks with figuring out the load order and conflicts yet it is, knock on wood, running smoothly now. The feedback appears to be overwhelmingly positive. In the replies, danieln says, "So instead of downloading mods and making Skyrim not launch I can now do it with only one, what an efficient mod. Can you fix this bug, please? Upon hearing the news that NoSkyrim had been removed from Nexus Mods, the creator started a petition for it to be reinstated.

If you're that impatient then idk what to tell ya. Complacency kills. Get off your ass, get the job done and quit complaining. Do PT. Nuff said. More topics from this board Who else can't play without mods crashing?
