Non-esp mods:

  • aMidianborn Book of Silence (Weapons, Armor, Unique Items, Immersive Weapons)
  • Skyrim 2k HD Textures LITE (Dungeons, Landscape, Towns, Riften, Misc)
  • Elyss Community Uncapper
  • ENBoost (with ENB graphic effects disabled)
  • Get Up Animation Replacer
  • Mystic Knight Animation Replacer
  • Fus Ro D'oh
  • A Quality World Map with Roads
  • Belt Fastened Quivers
  • Better Dialogue and Messagebox Controls

Tools I'm using:

  • Mod Organizer
  • Wyre Bash
  • TES5Edit
  • BOSS
  • SKSE
  • SUM

Mods I'm planning to add:

  • Helgen Reborn
  • Cerwiden

Game Health Status:

  • Since I'm using ENBoost, I have a little bit less CTDs. Though, my game seems to "freeze" after playing 1hr 30 minutes - 2hrs. Sometimes, at places with many NPCs it happens more often. I do have CTDs as well every 3-4 hrs.

Things I did already to improve stability:

  • Cleaned all my plugins with TES5Edit (ITMs and UDRs)
  • Made a Bashed Patch
  • Made my own Compatibility Merged Patches (all plugins starting with "ZMY"). I tried using TES5Edit to automatically generate a Merged Patch, but when I did that, my game always CTDs on startup. Also, I don't want to remake 1 big Merged Patch everytime I change a mod. So I manually made several smaller Merged Patches with TES5Edit. It took some time, but the result in my opinion is better than 1 big Merged Patch.
  • I checked all plugins for their version number. Some of them are 0.94, and I tried to follow Sharlikrans advice to update them using the Creation Kit. But as it turns out, the CK doesn't recognise esp files as masters, so I basically ruined most of those esps by doing that. Because of this, I redownloaded those esps and I decided not to update them with the CK anymore. Also, I am using Mod Organizer and it doesn't seem to be compatible with the CK yet. So I decided not to use the CK until MO is better compatible.

Notes:

  • I'm not planning on removing ANY mod, as I heard it will destroy my save games beyond repair. I started my game with all these mods installed so I can't revert to any save before I was using a particular mod. So if I should remove a mod, I have to start a new game.
  • I am planning on optimizing my textures, but I have no clue how DDSopt or anything alike works. Luckily Gopher is planning to release vids about them, so I surely will watch those.

 

Are there any other techniques/tricks that I can use to make my game more stable? My current game stability is okay-ish, but I'm always prepared to take necessary steps to make it more stable.

 

Thanks in advance

 

Kind regards

Andre
