I'm glad you were able to fix it! As you saw, it had nothing to do with the Pip-Boy mod you were using ;)

Hey, any advance on this, duffman? :smile:

That's why I decided to let this to someone else to give it a go. It requires a lot of time and effort, and as I said, mainly in the 1st stages. Take your time, no rushes. And when the art part takes place, I'll be here to help. I wish Skyrim used the same interface as Fallout 3/NV. Those interfaces were very easy to edit mainly because they used .dds files only. P.S.: something that came to mind... It would be great if this was done to be used along with SkyUI, mainly because there are a lot of mods that require SkyUI, and hell, I use it :laugh: Maybe you can use some resourses from SkyUI PS3 buttons. You may want to contact the author for help :thumbsup:

This is a great guide. I might look into it myself. It doesn't seem too incredibly difficult to do but challenging enough that it sparks my interest Yeah, it sparked mine too but due to the required amount of time it needs (at least in the 1st steps when you are learning yet), I decided not to try it. I hope you can make it, and one thing will be sure if you achieve it: you'll be me hero! :laugh: I'll be watching your progress if you decide to try it and, if you need help with something, contact me and I'll try to help :thumbsup: (I'm skilled in Photoshop).

Hi. I'm a veteran user of the PS3 interface and have been using it alongside with SkyUI. What was my surprise to find that there were NO mod for the DS4! I'm a bit of a perfectionist person and was hoping to find that mod with the "options" and "share" buttons. The fact is, this mod was made for Dark Souls but not for Skyrim! I would do it myself but my knowledge in gfx/swf files editing is null. Hell, I've no idea how to open a gfx in a image editor XD But, I'm gonna dig in to it and see what I can find. If I end up making the mod, I'll share it (no promises though). EDIT: found the required programs and a tutorial. Unfortunatelly, I don't have the time nor patience to make it. So if somebody is interested in doing it, here's the guide: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1800/?

Don't worry, Spooky. I apreciate all points of view and sorry for the misunderstanding with the term "memory leak", it's what you said. Well, I concur more with Georgiegril. I've been playing skyrim now for a long hour and it didn't really freeze. This was because I had a lot of those 4Gb free. The problem really comes when Skyrim starts to alocate ram incorrectly, using more and more over time. This really becomes a problem when I start to play with only 2,5Gb (more or less) of free ram. I need at least 3Gb of free ram before I start playing or it will start freezing after a while. This is why I think is not a problem of VRAM, because VRAM would get instally consumed just after start playing if my character was in some heavy loaded area. Georgiegril, I know you may kill me after saying this, but I'm used to disable superfetch since a couple of years, because that little service (in my opinion), the only thing it does is consume ram and write on disc all the time, analyzing the programs being used. At the end, the solution for a problem, becomes the problem itself, so I ended up disabling that service. Do you think is better to enable it? Oh, and my pagefile is huge, I make sure it's twice the size of the main memory always, or even more. I tried in the past programs like gamebooster, they are crap indeed. I prefer to do the "manual" way too: disable unnecesary services and turn off other programs while playing. So, I guess I'll need more ram and a new gpu soon, since we are entering a true generational change in terms of graphic quality, etc. But it'll have to wait for now :confused:

Thanks for your answer. I already know what vram is, and the difference between the both of them (I knew it before starting to study computers). The memory I'm talking about skyrim is using is the RAM, not the VRAM. I can share an screenshot if you need to see it. Yesterday, Skyrim got to 1,7Gb of RAM usage. I can play smoothly enough when there's only 1Gb of RAM being used by the O.S., but if I try to play Skyrim when the memory usage is around 35%, It's just better to restart the PC and free that 10% of RAM before playing. I can garantee Skyrim consumes a lot of VRAM as well, there's no doubt about it. But I only wanted to know if there was some way to reduce the main memory usage that doesn't require to reduce the grafical quality. Btw, I don't use ENB mods at all, only texture mods. I know the ram usage is 100% related to the amount of texture mods I have, but it's just extrange that this only starts to be a problem when the memory usage gets too high as time passes... There's have to be a way to free that used ram. P.S.: the problem I'm talking about is similar to when you have a lot of programs running, consuming all of your ram (memory leak, as you said): applications start to respond slowly and you need to free that ram by closing programs or restarting. Maybe I just need more RAM... Thing that crossed my mind.

Hi all, I presume the memory usage Skyrim is making on my rig is normal, due to the high amount of graphical mods. But it has come to a point that Skyrim freezes sometimes for more than 30 seconds and I can see my PC's hard drive led glowing while it happens. I've checked why is this happening and it's because Skyrim is using close to 2Gb of memory! I only have 4Gb of ram and I love how Skyrim looks with all these mods installed. I don't want to remove any of them and I'm not going to. I wanted to know, if there's someway to free the used ram while playing, instead of accumulating it all! Normally, the solution is just to restart my PC and free the ram, but after a while, Skyrim absorbs all of it again! Thanks

Thanks :laugh:

Hi, I'm searching for this armor mod with no luck. I don't know its name. Could anybody help me? Thanks in advance :thumbsup: http://oi40.tinypic.com/nlzgr7.jpg

Thanks for all those advices. The game runs smoth as I said before, I use fraps to check it and most of the times is above those 45 fps and even higher. The system doesn't run out of memory either, since I have 4GB DDR3 and Skyrim doesn't take that much never (it only uses 1gb or so top). No enb, no heavy texture mods, skse is up to date (since it's needed to play with the latest version of the game, Dawnguard, comunnity level uncapper and headtracking) Other mods that I use are armor replacers for cbbe, cbbe body, texture replacers for male and female and non of them have ever affected performance. I have tried to remove all the body meshes too, including walking animations. Non of the plugins I use seems to affect Dawnguard, because as I said, the crash only happens when Dawnguard is active. If I remove Dawnguard, the crash gets fixed :) If I remove all the mods but leaving Dawnguard activated, (so, only playing with the DLC, Skyrim.esm and update.esm, nothing more), the game crash too when I quit it. I already said this in the 1st post. I'm sure there's something wrong in my game but I just wanted to find a way to patch it up instead of reinstalling the entire game and all the mods, that would be a pain in the ass.

Yeah I did that too, even redownload the entire DLC :S

Bump, please. I have tried to reinstall the DLC and didn't work

Hello, I have a very tedious problem. When i activate the Dawnguard DLC on data files, Skyrim crashes everytime I exit the game. If I deactivate the plugin, the game quits correctly. The game runs correctly during gameplay too (with and without Dawnguard), but as I said, when I end my gaming session and I quit the game, Skyrim crashes with a typicall ''no response'' error message, application hung-up if Dawnguard was active. I have tried to deactivate all the mods but leaving Dawnguard active. Didn't work. The only thing that works, as I said, is deactivating the DLC. Here is my data files list, just in case there's a conflict I'm not aware of, but I don't think there's any because of the above stated: Skyrim.esm Update.esm Dawnguard.esm Lydia mod made by me.esp DeadlySpellImpacts.esp Headtracking.esp SoS - The Wilds.esp Dynavision.esp As I said, I have tried to deactivate all of them and it didn't work. The only thing that works is deactivating the Dawnguard DLC. At first I thought it was caused by a configuration file (something simillar happened in the past) but then I discovered that was in fact the Dawnguard DLC. Now, the question is, why? Why does Skyrim crash with a hang-up error message everytime I exit the game with the Dawnguard DLC active? Thanks in advance for any tip I can get, I would really appreciate the help.
