Do not overwrite saves. Create dated folders: EldenRing_Saves_2025_01_15 . You never know when you need to revert to a save from three months ago before you made that tragic faction decision. Part 4: Stashing Mods – The Real Ultimate Challenge Raw game files are easy. Mods are chaos. If you have ever modded Bethesda games ( Skyrim, Fallout 4 ) or Cities: Skylines , you know the horror of a deleted Nexus Mods page or an updated mod that breaks your load order.
You have probably asked yourself: Where is that specific save file from 2018? Where did I put that uncensor patch for that obscure JRPG? Why is my modded Skyrim crashing again?
Start tonight. Open File Explorer. Create GAME_STASH . Drop one save file in it. Then one mod. Then one installer. Within a month, you will have built a digital vault that would make a data hoarder weep with joy.
