I don't even know when I started. Must have been at least that long ago. A few years ago I started looking for mods. A year ago I finally installed the game and some mods. And a week ago I had to start all over again because some mods where outdated, the game kept crashing and the mod manager I originally used (FOMM) wasn't very good.
Edit: I switched to MO2 a few days ago and its virtualization is a game-changer. If you're still trying to get mods working I recommend giving that one a try.
I’ve been doing that for the last two years.
