I watched a lot of GamerPoets and Gopher videos several times on how to stabalize skyrim plus read a lot of S.T.E.P. Many hours reading other peoples comments trying to figure out problems, configuring tweaking and merging mods. A lot of trial and error. I have my core mods I know I have ran for hours with out crashing and there is at least 15 to 20 mods easily. I also re-texture everything. From the clothes to the chairs to the potion bottles, weapons and armors, landscape npcs, and cities. I have at least 20 gigs on sse and still waiting on realistic needs, sexlab framework, amorous adventures, sex dialogues, bathing beauties, bathing in skyrim, face to face conversation, fnis sexy moves, underground bathhouse, legacy of dragonbourne, fnis enhance character animations, simply knock, skinny dipping, convient horses, schlongs, and many more that mod authors have made to make the game so so so much better. So if you read, watch Gamer or Gopher and other modders suggestions, clean and learn to merge mods and trial and error, it is possible to run 200 gigs of mods without crashing.
