I cant play with my old saves again. (after a lot of mod changes) but I can load one (small) save of this character. and when i started it up and saved. the savefile decreased from 12000 kb to 10200 kb. I haven't encountered any lagspike. (which I had a lot with other saves of this character: savefile around 30000 kb, big bloat). So I installed dragonborn and the save increased from 10200 to 10800 kb. Is it save to play with this save without being afraid its going to have lagspikes later on?

Ok, I Played a bit. And I saw this: 6.500 kb (first save) inside the bannered mare 7.200 kb in whiterun 7.180 kb outside whiterun 7.300 kb fighting giants 7.200 kb done with giants 7.156 kb after that. Is this good? I didn't changed ugrid and I disabled xfire in the background

So I can player further with my character without fear that I will get those lagspikes around 15 mb.?

Ok, My savegame is now. 7212 kb. I've only done a few jobs for the companions and Bleak falls barrow. I think that's still to much. So I deactivated Dawnguard and my savegame went to 6892 kb. So can it be dawnguard? and is there a fix for?

I've this too, so it's fine? 20-80 kb per save? I've unistalled the enhanced blood textures because its a mod who is using a lot of scripts. And: "when it bloat you will know" so if it increases 300-600 kb with a save then its bloating? or if your save is over 10 mb ? Thanks for the help sorry for this second post.

I've downloaded the UFO add-ons for dawnguard and hearthfire. And I played a bit with a lvl 81 character, fighting wolfs, fighting vampires in markarth. this are the sizes of the saves: http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2033/save2.png the bottom is where I started testing with this character. As you can see the size of the save went up and down and up etc.. Is this good or is this still too much Increase of the savefile. oh, and I've unistalled the bladesfactionfix and the ENB. (the problems where also there before i installed the enb, so i think the enb will not cause this.) The savefile on the bottom of the list(31.876 kb) isn't the lvl 81 save but the bloated/bugged one. So that save does not count.do not look at that. the files above that save is where i started.

System: AMD phenom II x4 965 BE 3,4 GHz 4gb ram Radeon 6870 1 GB 1 Tb harddisk Ok, But what I mean: Is the savegame from my new character also gonna bloat or not. And can you deduce this from the picture in my previous post, those slightly increases after a few seconds play. Or are those little increases of my new savefile not to worry about. My older save which i had the problem increases with 600-800 mb after i saved. with the same mods

Ok, I've started a new character with all the mods activated. with the new character I started in a prison cell (alternate start - live another life mod) and killed there a few people.(via console command I placed these people to me) after I killed a few in the prison cell I saved and looked at the save file there was a slithtly increase, I did this a lot times (see picture). When I went outsite It icreased a bit more. after I saved. You can see this proces here: http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/7750/savesc.png the bottom of the list is where i started(in the cell) (those 3kb files are from skse) at the top you see: 4.747kb to 4.802 is when i went from the prison cell to skyrim. and walked a few seconds in skyrim. Are those little increases still a sign of that this character gonna have the same problem or are those little increases not to worry about. with my previous (problem) character the save increased with the same mods from 31.400 to 31.800 that is much bigger increases than my new character. So maybe my old character save is total loss?

Hello nexus! Recently when I play skyrim my game lags after a minute, then i can play nicely and then after a minute it lags again etc. I was searching at forums and i think it has something to do with a bloated save. because all my other characters haven't got this problem, only one character save. So i wanted to make a new character but I thought that the same issue will happen again cause I think it has something to do with one of my mods. I think that over a time the same problem will hapen with my other savegames. (and my new character then) so I unistalled mods and look if my savefile increases, with a few mods it increases but if i save again i decreases and then it increases. So i cant figure out witch mod truly is causing the problem. And I'm sure a lot of the little mods will not cause it. So i am now gonna ask it on nexus, maybe you know which of these mod can problably cause the mod bloating. Plugins (the mods with a underline have I installed after the problems, so before i installed those mods the problem was there too): Update.esm Dawnguard.esm HearthFires.esm ClimatesOfTamriel.esm SPIKE.esm Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Unofficial Dawnguard Patch.esp Unofficial Hearthfire Patch.esp Chesko_Frostfall.esp Rainclip.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Dungeons-Hazardous.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Interiors-Warm.esp staticmeshimprovementmod.esp bladesfactionfix.esp GiveADogAHome.esp Skyrim Flora Overhaul.esp Footprints.esp WetandCold.esp SkyUI.esp 1nivWICCloaks.esp hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp PumpingIron.esp Run For Your Lives.esp when vampires attack.esp posesivecorpses.esp SkyTEST-RealisticAnimals&Predators.esp dD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp Populated Cities 2.esp Predator Vision.esp DeadlySpellImpacts.esp dovahkiinrelax.esp ArcheryDummyXP.esp SkyRe_Main.esp SkyRe_Combat.esp SkyRe_EncounterZones.esp SkyRe_EnemyAI.esp SkyRe_EnemyScaling.esp SkyRe_StandingStones.esp UFO - Ultimate Follower Overhaul.esp Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp xce.esp SkyRe_Races.esp getSnowy.esp WATER.esp Warburg's 3D Paper World Map - Texture 1.esp Bashed Patch, 0.esp ReProccer.esp realcompanions.esp PNENB.esp(phinix natural enb) and i've unistalled all of these before but then the lag still continues. So i downloaded the possesive corpses mod(also in the list) and this mod reduces the save file (if there isn't a mod who increase the save file, because after using the possesive corpses mod the file increases again. So actually I just want to know which mod can cause this, because I want to use a lot of those mod on my new character. And I don't want the same problem with my new character. oh, and I've also installed Lush grass,trees, and skyrim hd and imidianborn book of silence, brown moutains and rocks, categorized faforite menu, enchanced distant terrain and realistic smoke and embers(.Not at plugin list) thanks!
