So I learned last night through a friend that LotD v5 will force a new save, and that honestly pissed me off because I already struggle to justify my time playing Skyrim, so seeing a 210 hour save slated to be null and void didn't sit well with me.

So what I am planning to do is write-down EVERYTHING I have done on this save, and then cheat like hell when v5 comes out, to bring myself to roughly the same progress.

Anyone know any good mods/have console command advice? I remember once seeing an Oldrim mod designed for similar purposes (allowing you to cheat past quests "Because you've already done them"), but I can't remember what it was called.

Last time I lost a file with less time spent in it, I stopped playing Skyrim for a year or so (wasn't long after Beyond Skyrim: Bruma was released), and if this idea I have isn't feasible, I'll probably hiatus again (or maybe try out Skywind or Skyggerfall).
