There's a patch for Skyrim being released today, and you may not want to update just now until some mods or programs are ready for it. So we are going to show you how to prevent updates on Steam until you want to reenable them.

First, find the App ID, for Skyrim it is 489830 but you can do this for any game by looking at the "properties" of a game in your Steam library, going to the "updates" tab, and finding App ID listed there. Next go to the Steam library folder on the drive where you have Skyrim installed.

In this case it is C:/SteamLibrary/steamapps, but will be different depending on your installation. Here you will find a file named "appmanifest_489830.acf". Set this file to read only, and Skyrim will not be able to update on Steam until you turn off read only mode.

This will make it so you can't launch the game directly through the Steam browser normally anymore. See what happened to the game MENACE here when I did this to it and tried to launch it through Steam after its update released as an example.

You can get around this by launching the game through its executable directly, or for Skyrim SKSE, or a mod manager instead.

You've spent hours, days! Assembling and installing a labyrinthian collection of complex mods that need to be sorted, stacked, downloaded, adjusted, patched and tickled like a Rubik’s cube! And then...

Bethesda breaks it all so they can add in a paid scaly fetish mod.

@BethesdaStudios Bethesda: famously hamstringing the independent modding community to squeeze a few dollars out from things no one asked for.

@DanCrenshawTX This is the same guy who complained multiple times about U.S. Congress not getting a raise and suggested that insider trading should be permitted because congressmen don't make enough money.

@Adiofreak Room temperature IQ strawman that doubles as a projection for how dumb commercialist cattle think about what constitutes a video game.

@erichustls This is engagement bait masquerading as data visualization, made engaging by omitting contextual information. I.e. household income vs. individual income is an important distinction.

@ControGorilla This is how a redditor thinks: they just say words authoritatively about a measurement without working out any math or statistics to substantiate them.

@unusual_whales Can you please stop reposting AI headline clickbait? P.S. This has been a thing in machine learning for years.

@Kekius_Sage He provides no sources and is clearly using an LLM to write a highly exaggerated story form of the actual research. But, most of you are falling for it. NGMI

@AlchemyAmerican "A scientist from MIT has mathematically proven..." <proceeds to say a bunch of non-mathematical qualities>; "this theory of everything is true guys, not like the other 20 that were devised by 20 other super smart people". Is this post written like this for engagement bait?

@asanwal @auren Midwits still haven't figured out that the hiring premium is just selection bias...

<No mention of Hodgkin-Huxley equations or cable theory>

Did an undergraduate post this?

@growing_daniel Puzzle-styled interview problems similar to LeetCode are a rough proxy for crystallized IQ because giving a real IQ test in an interview would be illegal.

@mathladyhazel Those so called "math people" aren't very mathy; you can't divide by 0.

@LittySmityGamin You can barely write in the English language. You should be somewhere in a coal mine, not commenting on politics.
