When updating the Dev Aveza, starting a clean new game will always provide the most stable experience. To start a clean new game, remove your prior saves from your "Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Saves" folder before starting the new game. (These files may be saved elsewhere as backups.)
To install a major update to a game which had a previous version of the Dev Aveza, you may try the following steps instead:
Back up your save files, and optionally the version of the mod you currently have installed.
Empty all your personal belongings from storage inside the airship.
Go to a vanilla game interior and save the game. The Great Porch of Dragonsreach in Whiterun is a good choice, as its use in the main quest means it is not like to be modified.
Quit the game then uninstall the airship.
Load up the game, and open and close the MCM menu. If it doesn't refresh and clear the menu after 15 seconds, a world transition, like between the porch and the keep proper, should help.
Wait for 32 days to clear out any resilient activity in cells and reset the world. Be sure to disable immersive need mods prior to waiting (check the mod's MCM options). To make the wait easier, you may want to use Better Sleep Wait Menu.
Save and quit the game.Â
While external script cleaner tools exist, they are not fully compatible with Special Edition. We do not advise their use at this time.
Install the latest version of the Dev Aveza.
After loading the game, open and close the MCM menu so it can force update itself.
Please remember each time you update or unload and reload this mod in a single save game, there is a chance your flight experience will degrade. If you find your ship is unable to function as intended, we recommend starting a new game.
Hotfixes, patches, and other very small updates may potentially be applied without removing the mod from the save entirely first, but for most updates we recommend following the steps above.
As this mod is a work in progress, it is seeing fairly frequent updates. Save games in a modded game environment corrupt more easily than in an unmodded game. For optimum performance of this mod in your game, run it in a new game when updating.
Note: Removing/Adding mods to an active game in Skyrim is not advised as changing load orders will break the functionality of many mods and patches.
