Update without uninstalling custom content?

I was wondering if its possible to download the latest update without having to uninstall custom content.
I get my custom content through the 'exchange lottery', just downloading randoms from the exchange, and would have no idea how to get it back if i did uninstall it, help!

    So all your CC is in 3pk, right?

    I am not sure if 3pk is that important to move but...just to be safe.

    All you have to do is copy - paste you Downloads folder to your desktop.

    Delete the downloads folder in your game.

    If you have a mods folder copy - paste it to your desktop.

    Delete the mods folder from your game.

    Do your update.

    Copy - paste your downloads folder and / or mods folder back into the game folder.

    Edit:

    Of course some CC needs to be updated when the game has an update or it won't work right. Usually clothes and hair don't have a problem. Usually. But, some of the other things do. Downloading from the actual creator is much safer.
