Hey guys. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Since I got Skyrim, the game has been slowly taking longer and longer to load as I play and install mods and such. The worst it got to over the course of about 3 months or so is taking 2 minutes in load screens. This never really bothered me. Today, however, the time it took suddenly jumped. I installed a few texture edits I wanted and began playing Skyrim. Suddenly, it was taking 10 minutes just to load. I tried various improvement tips I found online, undoing the ones that didn't seem to work. None of them decreased load time. It became worse and worse and I finally began uninstalling all the mods I had downloaded in the past 3 weeks or so, testing the gamer after uninstalling the mods one by one. The load times actually got even worse. Thinking it was a problem of a corrupted save, I tried using my testing save which is lower level. The same problem occurred there, so I doubt it is a save game corruption. Sometimes it loads stuff instantly (which it hasn't done since day 1) and other times it goes up to 30 minutes to load a house interior. Finally it ended up taking 45 minutes to load Whiterun with no sign of ever loading. This is where things began to get weird. In a last move of desperation, I opened task manager via CTRL-ALT-DELETE to quit Skyrim. As soon as I did, the game loaded. I entered another room, waited, and then opened up task manager. As soon as task manager opened, the game loaded. I restarted Skyrim and immediately opened task manager as the save game was loading. The game world loaded as soon as task manager opened. I tested this over and over with various places, and it has worked without fail. I'm completely stumped. I have no idea why this could be happening. Any help?
