Last few years of Skyrim modding

Just to make clear I'm not looking for help with anything I just want to write about my experience.

As all of you may know in one way or another problem when modding Skyrim is going to happen, I have modded my Skyrim from 2014. and played vanilla since the start of 2012, in all those years I have to say I had the best time till 2015, where I had no idea how modding works and how to manage load order and plugins, My mods worked perfectly, no CTD and no bugs, I guess I was too dumb with soo much luck on my hands soo i had it going for a while , last 3 years of modding Skyrim I had some ups and downs, CTD or some memory problem, mods doing weird stuff and not working ( at that time I had okay skills in modding game) and i could go with about 150-200 mods no problem and make them work, today i gave up on Skyrim, It took me 6 days of headache and back pain to make my game run with 70 mods, nothing strange i had that mod list last year with +100 mods or soo, and i just could not make it work, i would go in this godforsaken game (that we all love) play for 15 min and i get this CTD that i have no fix for, i did all in my power, and i guess it took the better of me, No matter how hard you try,clean,fix and care about this game, it is on one way or another and with happy smile F* you in the hole, after 4 days of trying i modded minecraft for a little bit just to take my mind of Skyrim, but guess who came back, The FNIS no working as it should, took me 1 day to find the problem, then i found out that FNIS does not work with MO2 for some reason, and to be honest i dont care why i made the backup downloaded MO1 and got all back in order in no time, These things get me going, these small problems with mods and downloading them over and over and over again, that was never problem for me as a player who wants more out of the game, but game just being jerk i guess they made a masterpeace.

A mod "pack" isn't the answer. Generic bandaids rarely work well, not everyone has an identical system.

 

The only real issue I find in newer mods is the assumption that most have a relatively up to date system, I check new mods closely because of that. VRAM budget can be off the chart on some, I recently looked at a 2 piece armor set with all 60k texture maps. Didn't even try it.

 

I have no answer for you. I'm a backup fanatic. I back up everything prior to trying even a single mod, and that has saved my game numerous times.

 

I don't even automatically install updates on mods that are working fine for me without checking hard to see if I need them. The only save I ever had that was destroyed happened because I trusted the Steam mod auto update when I was new. I treat updates as a new mod usually and take my usual precautions.

well i am happy to say that i took another chance and with good ending, i found out what was the problem, enblocal and SKSE.ini created problems with memory where if first block of memory patch goes over 512 game goes unstable and goes in CTD, after some time spent in enblocal i got It working, i got really good spec soo i didnt even look if the problem is in memory Edited by DogRare

I had a very unstable Skyrim with over 100 mods, on a low end PC and constant CTDs. This was almost entirely fixed by upping the memory block size (see below)

I would also recommend using ReSaver - that program has enabled me to keep playing my original chars despite constantly adding and removing mods from my load order. Some kind of magic if you ask me.

 

I'm now using 196 mods (including some enormous ones like the Dragonborn museum) and its solid as a rock on my old laptop with onboard graphics and 4gb ram - it would have been CTDing all over the place before the memory block size tweak so its worth looking into you haven't already.
