    For now is steam the only way to download this update? Has there been talk of an .exe version?

    No crashes or problems with my mods with the new update -- but large chunks of terrain are missing near Rorikstead and Falkreach (I didn't download Bethesda's high texture pack)...

    I haven't read through this thread so I don't know what others are experiencing but I have to say that this latest patch absolutely saved my game and restored my enjoyable Skyrim experience. I have no more CTDs and my game runs at 60fps in all situations no matter where I am or what I'm doing or how many things are going on. I have tons of mods installed too and I haven't even found any conflicts or anything. Superb job Bethesda. I'm loving to play Skyrim again. They must've made some major performance tweaks because before this patch both my GPUs were running at 90%+ at all times and were exceeding 90 degrees celcius. Now they're running at no more than 40% and at temps not ever exceeding 68 degrees C. Wow.

    a few of my mods stopped working but most of the stand alone non replacers style mods I use still work.

    warning though in regards to this new update if you save while you have a level up ready it tends to make it to where you can't load that save. all my saves where I have a level up ready wont load but the ones where I don't will load its pissing me off.

    this now makes the 30ith something game I've lost due to it refusing to load

    JoshuaCaleb - That sounds vey strange. I'm not running mods, but there are tons of people here using a LOT of mods and it weird that they would be "broken". Anybody have anything to add to this? I would like to know what mods may or may not be broken.

    Also, with the CK, will the existing mods out there need to be redone, or will it not matter?

    *update* I may possibly stand corrected. It appears that a instance of TESV.exe was preventing the mods from being installed. I will have to investigate this further to see if that was the real problem

    I think I have solved my CTD problem with 1.4 but it has come with a startling realization: Bethesda has disabled nearly all mods that are not simple texture/mesh replacers. Standalone craftable armour and weapon mods no longer install with NMM. Deadly Dragons appears to be incompatible and and mods that change magic, werewolves, vampires etc have become non-operable.

    I assume this is Bethesda's way of forcing everyone to use the CK, but really? Just break our games why don't you?
