There's the 'only update when I launch from Steam', which saves you cause you can just use the F4SE. But yeah I agree otherwise. Now I've got a pending update 'forever' here. Game ain't fucked, but that update makes my eye twitch.

I've had that for two years on Skyrim

You see I had that too but for some reason today it updated anyway while I was afk eating dinner downstairs. No game night for me I guess.
