I recently discovered an old thread of mine here where Allyx showed me how to change the class and level of spells, so I could customize them the way I like. What I don't remember is whether those changes would remain or be overwritten by new versions of the mod. IOW, I'm currently using v801. If I change the spell txt files and later update to 802 (or at some distant point, 900), would my changes remain or would I have to do them all over again? I don't want to spend a ton of time adjusting spells only to lose all that work.
You could save a copy of the changed files in a different location and use them to overwrite any future changes. And ver 8.x.x is as high as the mod will go. Circle of 8 = eight versions.
Yeah, anytime you re/activate a module, all customizations are lost and the original state of the module is instated/restored.
Thanks guys! I thought about saving copies of the files I change, but I thought I might then miss out on changes any updates applied. I suppose that's not very likely now after all these years though, with work pretty much done.
In your case mate, I'd keep a copy of your version of the file for reference purposes, install the latest patches and edit the new file with your personal alterations.
