I'd recommend using mods after the Beta is over to prevent your saves from corrupting and so you won't be frequently backing up your saves, but you should still be doing this regardless if you use mods or not.
Mods will break and be incompatible with Stardew as new updates come out, so youll have to wait for the mods to update to the newer version. If you are playing the BETA of Stardew, you will frequently have to keep SMAPI and your mods up to date. While I understand it's outside of Steam, it has its dangers, but just want to prove I'm right and that it's not completely dangrous XD what is everyone's opinion on the matter? Thank you! ill add onto everyone elses comments about SMAPI by giving ya a heads up.
