Old thread but didn't see a valid solution and its still an ongoing problem for me. Sure I used every texture pack on Nexus.. the 512 wasteland was agony because it turned the game into a 1990's type FPS shooter. Horrible textures. I went to Vivid Editors Choice, and the game is back to looking nice and the FPS didn't get affected. Graphics are okay at 30-50fps. What happens it this. I load up WINDOWS PROCESS MANAGER and look ... what it reports is horrible... Most of the times I lag in entering a cell after running every few minutes are huge amount of calls to \textures\actors\...dds files all over the place. That explains my stutter because each time I do it, I just have to hit the ` and wait until all character textures get loaded and then can play at 30-50fps consistently until I move out of the cell I'm in. Anyone have a fix for this? Perhaps loading multiple cells ahead of time with one big lag instead of all these micro lags? I also have TASK MANAGER running to see how much memory, and I rarely ever go above 5gb even with ENB SERIES loaded, which I love using. 16gb RAM and 1GB VRAM, and 10GB set in Video for ENB and never does the game come close to using any of it. Is that just a placebo?

I remember that causing CTD's for me too.

Please don't do what happens when you upgrade NMM - which is to force users to update each mod again. What need is there for that sort of nonsense unless your adding something to each mod? Which you don't... Just don't get lazy again and create the tools to read through your own data you built with your own app. Sure there seemed to be an auto-update, but don't do this again unless you have a lot of error trapping, handling and timeout loops that can prevent what happened to me... a lockup on upgrading mods (waited 1 hour and it didn't update anything).. and the result the upgrade crashed all mods (reloaded 255+ mods again) because of how NMM upgrades itself. I still had the plugin.txt to work from, so that was okay to play the game, but NMM was blown apart. What was horrible was that it created the problem, and had not one ability to fix itself. Oh sure, I did the purge, and all that did was wipe out all the mods I was told by the authors to manually plug into the DATA folder. As for the Nexus website. Nice more flat design and web-responsive. The upper area where the banner ad content has a huge amount of wasted space if the advertiser puts in a lower resolution image. So you end up with a small box of ad with 2 inches of wasted space and makes the overall site look cheap and banner ad focused like GEOCITIES of old... but the search is much improved and industry standard at the top of the page. Heavy use of tabs. Being a gamer site, I'd have more liked to see user-preferences for users to select their skin/theme of their choice. Button color selection is not well-done. Orange? That's not a recommended primary selector color when you overuse it for all hyperlinked material. Again, maybe theme selectors would have been nice, but better than the original site.

I have 255 mods + all DLC. I never installed DCMS (Don't call me settler - not once, never) and I get the settler-lazy-and-won't-work-or-move bug. I do have a fix. Get the mortal settler mod. Spawn a huge monster or bunch of them. Or just use the disable on everyone or kill. But funner to spawn critters. Wipe out settlers. Send other settlers who will work to the bugged settlement. Then they will work. I had this happen at sanctuary and 30 setters wouldn't work until half were killed, and then like a charm they started working after the battle.

I had same issues, just fixed it by 1) uninstalling Valkyr mod from NMM, manually select the file for faces only if your using CBBE. Saved me hours and hours of reinstalling everything and all mods again to try and fix it. For now on, I'm installing all meshes / textures manually. And backup the Data/Meshes folder if you can. That helped me track down what was causing the issue for me. Hope it helps. Oh and if it doesn't help, just keep deactivating and uninstalling all character mesh / texture mods 1-by-1 and reboot the game. You don't have to do much else if you use NMM.
