[Suggestion] Not disable every mod when update

With the introduction of the new update. The feature of disabling all mods after update is added to prevent unexpected crashes due to incompatible versions. However, turning on mods in the game is extremely tedious since it takes time to load. I personally use possibly 20 mods in total. And i need to turn everything on for 3 times already in the recent 4 days. The experience is terrible.

Also, while it is unfortunate that a mod maker discontinues its update, there is no such way for a user to determine whether mods are outdated or will to cause a crash. I simply don’t like the idea that every update might cause a chaos.
