Immediately switched back to classic. Everything is too big and all I care about are the top mods lists and the updates to mods I'm following and my mods.

If you're using a user account that doesn't have full privileges, then sign on as an admin and give your user account full permissions to your games directory. The only other thing I can think of is that you've got something that wants to modify the Windows file associations. For example, changing the editor that opens if you double-click on an ini file.

That was the other thing: when I picked a graphics card, I wanted one that supported ray tracing. Here's Tom's review of graphics cards and Starfield.

I’m running NG just fine with about a hundred mods or so. If you’re trying to load a saved game from a previous play-through, then you need to recreate your load order, otherwise you will have crashes. Mods that require FO4SE need to be upgraded to NG UNLESS they replicate the functionality with Papyrus script. I have two mods like that. If a mod doesn’t require FO4SE, then it may work just fine. Don’t forget to sort your load order with LOOT.

I don't recall getting any crashes in FO4. I think I had some issues when I first enabled weapon debris, but the crash fix mod fixed that. You've got an i9, but what's the speed? As I said, my i5 is superior to the i7 I had. Your other bottleneck will be that 2070. Have a look at the graphics card reviews and they'll discuss the changes Nvidia went through with their cards. I found the 4060 to be the sweet spot for me. I've got three monitors 1920x1200. I don't like the 1080s but I guess I'll get forced into that ratio eventually. I plan to buy a 32" if and when I can afford it.

I'm using High FPS Physics Fix and that fixes the slow loading times. Also on NG.

I've also found it keeps resetting the Steam cloud settings. I do not want my saves using the Cloud, but it keeps sneaking that in too.

I've also found that the CPU speed is the governing factor with Bethesda games. I had a Core i7 and when it died, I actually went with a faster Core i5 and all my Bethesda games run pretty fast now (Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 & 4). Skyrim and Fallout 4 use the graphics card more than the old ones do, but they still seem to benefit from higher speed. Core i5-10600K @ 4.10GHz 32 GB RAM WD Black SN750 SE NVMe SSD Having a fast SSD for your game files is also key. I have my saves on a traditional drive.

I would start by downloading a mod that requires the framework to see how someone else did it. If you click on Requirements on the framework mod page, you'll see a list of mods that require the framework. Grab one of those.

I had to replace my video cards recently. I had two Radeon R9 290Xs and replaced them with one Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060. When I ran the launcher it maxed out all the settings. I'm using Weapon Debris Crash Fix and it seems to be working fine. I did some research before buying and felt that the 4060 was the right spot for performance and price. I keep my hardware for a long time before upgrading again. Those 290s will still work, but I had to repack them not long ago to reduce the heat load. One of my starting points in my research is Tom's Hardware graphics card reviews.

That's Nexus new wiki?!! Super, niston - thanks. Oh well, the AI tries at least... Or is trying (on our nerves), to be precise.

Well you guys might be able to take a piss in power armour, but it'd be a tad harder for us women you know!

Game companies really should stick to their skill set and not attempt to create a programming language! There is a copy of the Skyrim CK wiki on the UESP that has a bunch of starting tutorials. They just gave me a headache, but you might have better luck. Here's the link.

That doesn't appear to be the Nexus wiki. The link I posted had links to instructions on how to create pages. If you were having trouble, maybe there's an issue that Nexus support should be made aware of? It looks like it's a separate login, so you may have to create an account there first.

If you use LOOT to sort your load order, it will tell you which mods need cleaning. Wrye Bash does too. Even the DLC's need cleaning! And the CC content. As usual, I have a Cleaned DLCs folder where I store the clean versions and install from there when starting a new play-through. Dirty edits are so easy to do that mod makers need to consciously clean their mods before release. If they don't, then you'll need to do it. The only time I don't clean a mod is if the author says the dirty edits are intentional and are required for the mod to function.
