Losing data when converting mods

[enlsem2015]

So I'm a huge fan of thewho87's real world update mods, but also want to enjoy the game's updates in TEW 2016. What I'm curious about is how feasible it'll be to play using older mods in TEW 2016. So, does someone know just how much of a drop off there is converting a TEW 2013 mod to 2016, and if there's a lot, what to do to fix it?

To take it even a step further, what if I wanted to use one of the TEW 2005 mods (I'm desperate to play around 2011, but don't want to give up TEW2016's advantages). If I were to take that mod, convert it to TEW 2007 --> TEW 2010 --> TEW 2013 --> TEW 2016 (assuming all the old games even have that capability), would I lose so much in the process that it'd basically be worthless?

Hope that makes sense and would appreciate any help/advice

You would be better off trying to find an updaate for TEW16 or at the very least TEW13 and do the minor updating from there, there would be so much missing converting from TEW05 to TEW16 it would take more time to fix it than building a new database.

got it- well given that i enjoy your mods more than some of the others i've tried because they're quite difficult and i also very much appreciate the simple style in particular of everyone's bios, i may just be out of luck for some of those older ones since i havent seen any for the same time period and have been digging quite a bit

Best option would be either a TEW10 or TEW13 update, they would be closest.

are there any other similar ones you can recommend for 10 or 13? i cant seem to find any of yours older than jan 2014 in tew10. i believe when i look at the db in tew, it says based on x's database, but i cant recall what exactly and dont have it in front of me

You would need to use someone elses database, all mine would have been TEW05, others were working on TEW10 and TEW13 at the time.
