This is basically what I do too, TMG. I love the fan patches, but till Bethesda shows that they're done modding/patching, I just wait. Installing 15 different fan patches is no fun, plus I basically play TES games about once a year, so I wait until my next session to patch up. I
am letting Steam update it every so often.
