If I could just like, attach reference notes to everything, that'd be greaaaaaaat. just like, telepathic ghost post-its - ghost-its - but searchable and centrally manageable. Documentation is both the savior and bane of my existence; solution to, and cause of, (almost) all life's problems.
(This user wants to play Morrowind again. He does not remember the current state of his most recent modding attempt. He does not want to do the modding again right now.)
Plus there's the issue of wanting to do more documentation as I go, but that genuinely doubles the time it takes to do the task, and then there's the expiry rate of that documentation; the longer the project goes, the more total time spent on documentation is ultimately wasted, as only a sufficient-but-undefined end portion and a summary is needed.
I have been trying to get better at renaming the mod files I use as I go so that it's much clearer what a thing is and what it does just from the Mod Organizer 2 entry; makes it much easier to come back after it's left my mind, but it's never quite enough. Too many steps occur outside of that UI; mods repackaged with updates, personal fixes and such. Never so simple as to download an update for the mod, then play.
Sigh.
One day.
