Has anyone updated to Patch 8 and experienced crashes to desktop (CTD) when launching the game with mods installed? I mainly have clothing and cosmetic mods, but I’m worried about any script-heavy mods causing issues. I’m considering whether to wait for mod updates or just roll back to the previous patch—thankfully, GOG makes that easy. Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated!

I’m only running aesthetic mods so far, and everything seems to work fine with Patch 8. Even the mod that shows enemy stats below their health bar is functioning normally, so at least cosmetic mods appear safe for now.
I have over 500 mods and after updating to Patch 8, all mods that depend on Script Extender and ImpUI broke. The game launches fine but crashes right when starting a new game. Mods like Native Mod Loader, Native Camera Tweaks, Script Extender, and ImpUI all need updates before they work again. For now, I rolled back to Patch 7 to keep things stable.
Thanks for the heads-up! I suspected Script Extender would be a major issue. Also, I have Native Mod Loader installed, which I thought might no longer be necessary, along with Native Camera Tweaks.
Good to hear! That makes me feel better about keeping my cosmetic mods for now.
