I’ve been playing with about six mods on my current save, mostly ones that add more combat encounters and quality-of-life improvements like weightless gold. I’m worried about the new patch 8—will it break my save or render my mods unusable? Can I keep playing with these mods active after the update, or should I wait?

Based on the stress test, some mods work fine on patch 8, some cause crashes or instability, and others don’t work at all. The safest bet is to expect the mods to break and be pleasantly surprised if they don’t. Just prepare for possible issues if you jump into the update now.
From what I’ve heard, patch 8 will probably break your save at least temporarily until mod authors update their mods to be compatible. That could take some time depending on how quickly the modders work. Most folks suggest holding off on updating to patch 8 until you finish your current run to avoid hassle.
It’s tough to say for sure, but chances are you won’t be able to continue your current save right away unless the mod creators update them for patch 8. I’m actually starting a fresh playthrough because of this, which is annoying but worth it. The main bottleneck seems to be the ImpUI framework: a lot of mods depend on it, and it hasn’t been confirmed how soon it’ll work on patch 8. Check if your mods rely on ImpUI in the in-game mod manager, since those mods might cause the longest delays before they’re compatible.
Good advice, I’m almost done with Act 2 so I’ll probably just wait to update until I finish this run.
Yeah, that’s what I figured. Thanks for confirming!
