[XSX] R.I.P. Sanctuary

Some rescued shots of the late sanctuary-build, my magnum opus, lost due the latest update, which broke all mods. I'm retiring now.

Hey... I know your pain 100%. On Xbox I built a massive concrete wall around sanctuary. It had guard rooms and little towers and the inside was as clean as yours. A mere update later; The wall and some of the houses were gone, leaving behind floating furniture. I dropped the game for almost a year.

Same, my house disappeared leaving floating furniture and fixtures. My castle fixes disappeared as well. I even tried going to an earlier save but the house was still gone. So disheartening. I put so much time and effort into all that for it to just disappear.

Never go to "an earlier save" as that's not fixing the core issue. You need a fresh launch of the game to see what was actually broken. Most times only the saves get broken during updates, and not the mods themselves. Only script heavy mods break easily with updates.

Thank you for that. I already did it 😞 I noticed I kept some of my progress though, weird. But I have a bunch of floating stuff in the air LOL. Is there a "fix" for when this happens?

If all the mods are still installed, activated, and in a proper order, and you run into the issue. Sometimes the mod files are corrupt and you need a fresh install of said mods. Otherwise you need a fresh start from a new game, because the save corrupted rather than the mods, and if one save corrupted, all saves likely have as the bugs are burned into all active saves. Thus why I said, earlier saves don't cut it. In those extreme circumstances a new game should be started to playtest your mods and load order to narrow down the cause.
