This was kind of hinted at in another thread but I didn't want to derail it.

Over the years many official WOFF items have been released, patches, Expansion Packs, and a lot of unofficial stuff like skins, mods no longer compatible, whatever.

These were always jealousy guarded, protected, backed-up to multiple locations...kind of like a kings treasure.
Well obviously with WOFF UE about 85% of my "hoard" is no longer needed but today, when I was backing up the new UE mods, I felt a strange reluctance to start deleting. Yet. It's coming but not quite yet.

Anyone mass delete their pre-WOFF UE stuff yet? Trash the back-up CD's/DVD's? Both official and unofficial stuff?

I've pretty much kept everything over the years, Duke. I still have my Phase 2 CD from OvS that he mailed me a good decade ago. I still have my OFF:BH&H DVD and, of course, the DVD and downloads that Hellshade sent me a year ago for WOFF 2. Add to that now, my WOFF UE install that Sandbagger very kindly provided me with, and I'd say I have a good catalog of OBD's history!

Perhaps a project in the making - chronicling the development of OFF over the last decade!

My backups now have two folders: an "WOFF OLD FILES" folder and a "WOFF UE 2016" folder! biggrin

Some OCD thing I reckon.

And yea Capt Sopwith I certainly could save them, lord knows I have the HD space, but I am trying to think of why.

Yep, got rid of all the files I don't need.
WoFF 1, 2, and 3 files and patches no longer needed as they are all included in WoFF UE.

If you overlay WOFF 3 with all their WOFF Addons, WOFF UE it automatically incorporates them into WOFF UE and they no longer show as Addons.

Yes.
But it would be the same if I deleted WOFF 3 and just installed fresh from WOFF UE wouldn't it?

WOFF UE Has all the addons in there up to date too, don't install them over WOFF UE.
