===Can mods corrupt my save?===

Yes, but it's extremely rare. Only a few mods affect your save file at all. If you avoid those, mods are very unlikely to corrupt your save file. If you're worried, just back up [[#Save files|your save files]] occasionally. That's strongly recommended even if you don't use mods, since save corruption is almost always caused by the game itself.
