  1. Ok i need help finding a mod. I thought i'd downloaded it before but its not in my history. Its a mod that removes the backpack from all heavy weapons when held. I cant find it on the nexus but i cant remember what its called. Does anyone know?

  2. Before you ask, yes i use steam.

     

    I decided to start playing again after a year or so

     

    I have had and used the geck for both fallout 3, new vegas, creation kit, and construction set in the past.

     

    I unzipped the new vegas geck 1.4 into my new vegas folder, and it loads up, but when i check off an esp and hit ok, nothing happens.

     

    can anyone help me figure out whats wrong? I remember this happening before but dont know how to correct it. I searched the forums to no avail...

  3. Hey guys i was hoping ya'll might have some suggestions to fix this problem for someone like me who is only mildly tech savy.

     

    I have an i5-2500k that has never been overclocked. Occasionaly i noticed in recent weeks that the first core of the processor would start spiking uncontrollably while the pc was at idle and no programs were running. I assumed this might be a heat issue and removed the side panel to allow more access to air. This seemed to correct the problem. As any good scientist would tell you, correlation does not imply causation so im unsure if this was the origin of the issue. In the past two days, the problem seems to have begun again and nothing i do stops it from happening. My temps are well within normal range and ive cancelled several non essential programs to see if they were causing it. still no change and a constant first core spike...

     

    does anyone have any suggestions on how i may diagnose this problem. Im on my work computer right now and cant test any theorys till later today.

     

    This is not a store bought computer, i made it myself about a year and a half ago

     

    Processor - I52500k

    motherboard - gigabyte UD5 - z68p

    powersupply - corsair 650

    GPU - radeon 6850

    hard drives:

    Mushkin 90,000 iops ssd / 120gig - operating system

    mushkin 90,000 iops ssd / 240gig - steam and games

    Hitachi green Hdd 1tb - storage

  4. that is an insanely huge save game. Anything over 50 megs can be difficult to load.

     

    Your skyrim game will only use up to 4 gigs of ram regardless of how much you actually have...its a bethesda thing.

     

    Secondly, your save game details not only your completed quests but what things are out of place from their default locations. If you go to an area and move everything floating freely in that cell to somewhere else, the game records that in your save game and when you load that cell, it must retrieve that data from your save game. When you go to a new cell, it does not remove the data from the last cell you were in from your ram, it simply adds to it and eventually is too much for your machine.

     

    load your current save game and every time you go to a new cell, console command "pcb" for purge cell buffer. If this fixes your problem it means you were running out of memory either from the hi res textures or the save game.

     

    Im level 48 and have 100 quests under my belt besides the main, DB, and winterhold stuff, with 20 mods and my save game is only 11 megs. It is because i dont pickup and drop everything i see, nor do i run a zillion aftermarket weapon and armor mods.

  5. I was referring to the size of your save file not the total number of saves you have. If it is really big, you could be running out of ram causing the ctd. also the number of mods your using could be causing you to run out of ram or Vram causing the ctd.

     

    If you want to start a new game and get back to level whatever, i would suggest "levelers tower" http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/14152

  6. Every few minutes, just before you think its gonna freeze, type the console command PCB or purge cell buffer. If doing this allows you to continue to play, then your GPU is running out of VRAM.

     

    What gpu are you using?

     

    How much regular ram do you have?

  7. The long load time means you have a very slow reading hard drive.

     

    The only way to reduce it is to either buy a faster one or reduce the size of the file loading.

     

    Go to your game saves and check the size of the files. If your game saves are anywhere between 4 and 10 megs then that is fairly normal. If your game saves are much larger then i would consider losing some mods...

     

    I had similar issues with my old hard drive. I now use an SSD for my steam library and the load screen simply flashes before it loads.

  8. There doesnt seem to be much utilization for them in skyrim compared to other games. I use a follower to make the big battles effortless and have something easy on the eyes.

     

    In fallout 3 and new vegas, followers were vital to carrying all the crap you would find throughout the wasteland. Money (caps) were a lot harder to come by in the fallouts than the elder scrolls so you had to pillage and sell everything you found. Having a follower doubled your carrying capacity, which in the fallouts, was limited.

     

    Skyrim, not so much.
