pc specs don't matter much when the game is a 32bit .EXE and was created to run a old directX9 not the newer DX11, you can pretty much thank xbox for that, unless bathesda writes a 64bit .exe the game will never run at its full potential(with mods), my specs, AMD FX4100 @ 4.8GHZ 8GB ADATA 1600 DDR3 SAPPHIRE HD6850 TOXIC @ 890/1150 (1gig) 990fx ud3 rev 1.2 samsung 256 SSD windows/skyrim (save games and mods stored on HDD) all watercooled, 1080p on high-ultra programs i use to keep things in check, maybe you should try these programs, i dont use any "boost" mods because they really dont do much on higher end machines, but these help a lot... dxtory set at 45FPS game booster 3 also your pc cooling is really important when running games, if anything starts heating up close to T max the hardware will throttle down performance causing bottlenecks on all aspects, nothing on my rig ever gets past 43 degree's

"You could also have a slow hard drive." this could be true, after getting a 256gb SSD not a single f#$K was given when loading skyrim, lol it'd make a good meme, first world problems...my SSD makes skyrim load so fast i cant read the info on the loading screens anymore (cry) "but was pretty reckless with my mods" i keep a change log in word doc of what i do to my game/mods, any little change or mod update i write it down, and ive played about 5 chars now so i have a pretty good idea of what mods cause trouble and what mods are stable, heavy script mods almost always cause trouble, texture/armor/weapon ones almost never,

i so wish this happens, i like the idea of taking in all the children and training my own group of band of fighter, might have to build my own mead hall to house them too,

i highly recommend using a FPS limiting program, like dxtory and cap it at about 45 FPS, the reason is you don't want the GPU running 60fps when you don't need to, like in a house, then when you step outside you find that your GPU has overheated and it starts to shutter/lag, so keeping the workload in the middle keeps the card cooler, and the transition will be less server, im still using my two year old sapphire toxic 6850 1GB card and i run HEAPS of mods, game set between high/ultra, 1080p on a 42" my card seems to perform way above its specs should allow, i dont know why that is. when i tell friends im still on this 6850, they call batsh!t cos its old tech with only 1gig vram, i think its due to my fanatic computer cooling and the help of FPS dxtory, skyrim HD full, WATER better distant terrain static mesh improvements all hi res armors, char, guards, animals, etc, flora overhaul full, bigger trees and a few others

has anyone made any head way with this? im ok at building and models but complete crap at scripting, just need to know how/where to add the ability to have my house mods added to the list of house's the children can live, sort of like the multi marriage mod where you can move your wife's to any house, cheers,

"Hi, I had the same issue, pc freezing, or crashing every 10- 15 mins, with dawnguard, so i took off all my mods and restarted a new game then added only a few mods. The game plays beautifully now. I did notice allot of the freezes were when there was allot of action going on the screen.I put all the mods back on and it froze again, after trial and error i discovered it was the skyrim monster mod more spawns mod causing me all the problems. I took it off and viola....perfect game. 60 frapps with The wilds ENB running. Hope that helps " i did the same thing, fresh install, new char, a few mods at first, like sky UI, etc, then all the weapon and armor mods, played very well, then started adding major script mods one by one, i got to skymomod and BAM freeze after fast travel, went back to a clean save without skymomod and now up to 95% of the mods installed, still not tested deadly dragons and war zones yet but will soon, i even re-did some of my 1.4 patch house mods with the new CK just in case there was any conflicts, so far so good,

yeah CTDs not too bad, i dont CTD much, maybe 3 since 1.5 patch, my rig is quite hefty, but its the freezing in dawnguard ATM that is killing me, i will play another 20 hours on a new game and see if dawnguard will freeze, if so then maybe a conflict with a mod can be fixed, then my good char can quest again lol

ok so im about to start a new game with a fresh install of skyrim and reinstall of mods, dawnguard is doing something funny with c++ runtime library ive been playing skyrim since its release, and for the most part have had very little issues with the game, (part from the hellish 1.5 patch and a 1/3 ratio of fixing time to playing time, starting a new game is not a problem if i feel i have played it to an extent the char is complete and his life is over, his questing days are past him so to speak, but the last two chars i had to kill off because of shady patches and/or dirty mods, lvl 39 and lvl 51 (no lvl cheating) from what i understand and from reading in other forums etc, you never really fix anything just from a updated patch, because your old saves still have reminants of the problem, i really hate seeing a new patch come because i know my saves will be useless and my mods will have to be reinstalled/updated. and im really picky about my mods, i watch the comments section a lot to see if there are any conflicts/errors before i install, (e.g falling dust error in 1.5 wont be fixed until you start a new game in 1.6, you cant continue the same 1.5 game in 1.6 because the error is still there!) it angers me that after hours of building a char that the new "better patch" will currupt and cause more CTDs then it had before, how does this work? in other games i have played, if i patch it, it fix's the game but the save does not need to be touched, why is this system of saves so easy to currupt? is the scripting system saved in the "save game" along with the stats/placement/stash/loot if so this is highly stupid, because it runs into a lot of problems with future mods/patchs, lucky i only had sounds of skyrim wilds install and not civ, because that was another scripting issue that cause "save game" problems to be honest im really only venting because this char is great and killing him off is a real shame, for gods sakes man, he has 3 wife's to support! can someone with more programing exp shed light on this whole save system,

i think overclocking does have some effects on stuttering/performance when you OC'd your CPU did you turn off C state's and cool'n'quite in bio's? (just curious) i had this strange glitch where the game would run SUPER fast, after tweaking my OC while turning off all C states settings forcing the CPU to ALWAYS run at max OC. there was like no lag what so ever, load times in split seconds, animations in super fast mode, it was funny as hell for the first two minutes, but not playable, it was fantastic for other programs but i finally fixed it with a compromise between raw compute power and playable game and turned back on one of the c states, here is a link, post #11 http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/503323-skyrim-runs-too-fast/page__st__10 OP: i would look into the C-states in bios if your cpu usage is jumping erratically as "c states" controls the CPU usage and power management more then windows does. the statement about poor quality motherboards is valid as some power management is compromised resulting in low cpu power, and lockups,

i introduced GOT to a friend who is not really into that kind of lore/fantasy/medieval stuff, he now loves it, he watched the whole first season in one night. and waits for every show since. i already showed him skyrim and he is now building a rig to handle it with all the mods i have,

anyone else like to watch game of thrones while playing skyrim? the similar lore and styles make it so much more fun, even the names of some of the holds are similar, what other movies, tv shows, are there that have similar lore i could watch while i play? lord of the rings, 13th warrior, GOT is all i can think of,

did anyone find a fix for this? i am having this problem right now on my desktop install, the entire game runs twice as fast as it should, constant 60FPS (max 67FPS!!) according to meminfo latest game update. game set to ultra settings. 3 HD mods, lots of other mods now. AMD fx4100 @ 4.6ghz (corsair h80 cooled never over 31c) GA-990fxa-ud3 mobo (new f6 bios) sapphire toxic hd6850 (toxic OC) ADATA DDR3 8GB 1600 gaming series windows 7 64 ultimate running fine ever since i installed it, and then bam today im running around like the flash.(so is other NPC's) first i thought it was from a few "tweaks" i did a few days ago to my overclock but i reverted back to original stable OC, but no luck, talked to other overclockers on another forum and they dont think its a hardware/overclocking issue. (there words where "skyrim is f*#ked) im stuck as to what to do next, apart from complete wipe and reinstall skyrim, i'd rather not as i have tweaked and synced both games on desktop and laptop so i can share save files.

original poster ?!

that thing scared the crap out of me, on another note, ASIAN, ORIENTAL, do not offend me, they are just noting the region a person is from,

i "collect" deer meat, goat cheese wheels, every kind of egg, wheat, mead, mammoth tusks, gems, gold ingots, ore, shields, one of every weapon, all armor, lost interest in money, as you cant spend it on much, but those 500+ cheese wheels i have filling every inch of my mod house, that sh1t comes in handy, i like hunting so deer meat and hide is plentiful at my house, why no bear meat??? they are huge and should give plenty of meat, you can collect every kind of meat (dog meat!!)but not bear meat?? nords would not waste such a bounty for the crows,

a re-think of the "adult" tag needs to be sorted, some people's definition of adult means no nipple or genitalia showing(this is what nexus is using now), but to others side boob and but crack are "adult" aswell, if not adult then at least have some decency to classify as such so the people who are looking for "skimpy" can do so, and the people who dont want "skimpy" wont get a eye full of it when we visit the main nexus page, examples from the front page today, http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=15042 http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=14670 (im NOT dismissing these mods btw, they where on the front page today) from where im sitting nexus has way more smut and 34DD's then playb0y, so is nexus a XXX site or gaming site? normally i would say "each to there own" but every time i check the page its shoved in my face, and i dare not visit nexus in public for someone to think im getting ready to jerk one out,

normally i play as wolfguard, from "the 13th worrier" movie. it fits the lore really well my new char is a Asiatic man who has trained with samurai and was ship wrecked, i call him khan.

i think i have found a fix for my CTD at load screen problem, i separated the mods that i think where made before CK and a list i think where made mainly with CK, and only loading those from CK builds, i have been stable for a few hour's now, also my own house mods work perfectly, all 5 of them load and function normally, as i know they where strictly CK built by me. i redid the navmesh and view windows just to be sure,

getting CTD on load screen too, spent all night uninstalling mods and still CTD, i only have 20 mods, even my creation kit is broken and wont load so i cant do anything to fix my own house mods, im so sick of this crap,

the "PEOPLE" we are talking about on the first page are the "NOW" generation "I WANT IT NOW" "I DESERVE IT NOW" "WHY IS IT NOT READY NOW" like sk8on said, i don't want some punk bothering me because i made a house mod and its not EXACTLY how he wants it. for this very reason i will hold off uploading my mods till the trolls move onto another game. less headache this way unfortunately,

i have also married Ysolda, and i also cant find her :confused: after the wedding she walked home accompanied by vilkis the companion so i assume she made it back safe, but when i question vilkis he has no knowledge of her AT ALL!! i have searched all my homes across skyrim and she is nowhere to to found, now i find out she has done this to others in the past, i am shocked! this did not seem like the sweet girl i meet in the market place. oh where is my love gone....

that would be good, im naturally left handed and to watch my char using a sward to fight in his right hand makes my brain explode with "your doing it wrong messages"

this reminds me ages ago when the tv show south park did a show with Chinese characters, they spoke gibberish and it didn't really bother me, but then a few seasons later they did another one at a Chinese restaurant but this time they spoke proper Chinese then i realized how much better the show was to use proper language rather then stereo type pidgin language, my wife was like "hey a american show bothered to use proper voice actors, that's new" on the other-side of the coin i have seen Asian shows depict Americans as always having Texan accents lol, or British with upper class proper English, for this mod you could look at old germanian languages, that would fit with the lore of skyrim abit better, and not offend too many, even old English is extremely different to what we speak now, it would seem foreign to all. and you could voice act them yourself,

i think its a great idea, it would be good if the main languages could be correct. i'm sure the skyrim commune is big enough that you could find voice actors for the mainstream correct dialogue, in some scenarios it could work to have gibberish spoken, eg. i have this thought of finding a camp of moguls and speaking/trading with them, and animal hides/cheese being more valuable thus better prices.(i collect a lot of hide's and cheese wheels :D ) it might be hard to find people who could voice act tho.

i have the game running on my new laptop and gaming desktop but with same resource cap, i hope something can be done in future updates, its silly making such a great game and strangle it like this,
