I've built my own mod lists on and off for about 2 years, and I can see some improvement, but I still never get it to where I can just play the game. I experienced a lot of bugs and crashes, and it seems like I can never iron it out fully to make systems work together. I find myself spending a disproportionate amount of time trying to fix things as opposed to playing. I've also made the intention to try and learn the nuances to make it smoother, but as a student I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to it at the moment.

Recently I started using Wabbajack lists and have enjoyed some success with it. That being said, there are many things that I would like to tweak and I run back into the old problem of not quite knowing enough of what I'm doing to make it stable. I'm wondering how much it's reasonable to expect to accomplish when you don't have a strong background in the technical aspects, and/or hear about milestones you've achieved that made you want to keep working at it. Thanks in advance.
