In addition, anyone who has not fully patched their game to the latest version will not be able to use mods created with the Construction Set v1.2. However, if the mod doesn't use any of the [[:Category:Functions_%28CS_1.2%29|CSv1.2 functions]], you can use [http://wrye.ufrealms.net/ Wrye Bash] or [http://www.tessource.net/files/file.php?id=8665 TES4Gecko] to return the mod's version to 0.8, which will allow those with older Oblivion patches to play the mod. | In addition, anyone who has not fully patched their game to the latest version will not be able to use mods created with the Construction Set v1.2.
