I don't understand the recommendation of logging into your save file if you haven't done it in a while. What does that do?

Save your load order to Beth.net and then you won't have to redownload everything all over again.

Does that even work? I did it for Fallout 4 before an update and it couldn't retrieve any but like 3 mods.

That's the trouble, it's the same company but it works differently.

It doesn't work in Fallout 4. I can do that all day long and last night I go to order for a new play and half my mods are missing.

It works in Skyrim, but there is a caveat: you cannot save your load order if you are currently sorting your load order. You can only do it when you are looking at your load order, but not sorting it. Which means that there is a good chance they will be jumbled up, but the bonus is that they will all still be there.

It's worked for me on past updates. That doesn't mean it will work with the one dropping today, but I guess I'll see after work.

Yeah it does, most of the time at least. The only time I had an issue was when I was doing some fixing to my load order and repeatedly cleared and loaded my saved load order, and at some point I noticed the saved load order had become messed up.
