I periodically do a hard save as I play just in case something happens to my quick saves or I get into a weird spot I have something to go back to that isn't too far back. However, at level 33 I have a stupid number of save files. It would be nice if you could set a max number of hard saves (like 10 or 20) and after that number it overwrites the oldest in the list. Most games do this by default anyway so not sure why this game just keeps adding more and more save files to eternity. Can a mod even do something like this? No clue if this is even possible.

Sorry but this is a stupid solution. Every level requires more and more XP. There is no good reason why you shouldn't be able to respec at least in a limited way to optimize the order in which you upgrade. For example I decided I wasn't going to do stealth and I could really use the points for other things right now. Leveling to get more points doesn't make those wasted stealth points any more useful.

Please this. WTF is this not in the game? Even in a limited way. Can't believe you can't even reset a single point. o.O

I haven't used vortex before. Last time I used mods I was using the Nexus Mod Manager. I'm a bit confused on some elements of what vortex is doing and also with general mod install instructions. I should also say that my OS is on one drive and my games are installed on a separate drive. When installing Vortex I pointed to the Starfield folder in my Steam folder on my game drive. Normally games have their files in the game directory and then you have like the config.ini files, save files etc..in the OS "my games" directory. What I noticed is that it appears Vortex has it's own "my games" directory now in my games folder and then another one in the Vortex directory? Is that correct? I'm so confused by this and it appears to not be working properly. When I first installed via Vortex I tested with the mod Cleanfield which removes some of the initial splash screens. This was an easy mod to test with since it happens immediately. If I just installed with Vortex it didn't work. If I added the StarfieldCustom.ini file mentioned in the mod install instructions into my Windows > Documents > My Games > Starfield directory it started working. However, I seem to have that same StarfieldCustom.ini file in my steam game folder and also in the vortex directory. Which of these 3 copies of the file is the one that is being used? Even though that mod was working I had another that didn't seem to be working so I tried removing the one from the OS directory to see if that would work and now it doesn't work at all even if I put the file back. So can anyone tell me why there are 3 different locations for the StarfieldCustom.ini file when using Vortex and which one is being used? For clarity...and to reiterate I did add the one at the top (in the attached img) manually because that was the only way I got that first mod working. Also, if you install a mod using vortex but the mod info page says you need to edit the .ini file is Vortex supposed to be doing that or do you still have to do this manually? The instructions/readme never seem to make that distinction. These questions are sort of related I guess depending on the answers.

Slowly went through all my mods and loaded them in sections and did some re-ordering of my load. Found a mod that was redundant (2 mods doing the same thing pretty much) and removed a couple other extraneous mods. I am still seeing little dips when I load or move to a new area/room/cave but it's just for a second before it goes back to 60 FPS. No sustained FPS drops that I have seen yet and that was my biggest issue so I guess my load order was the biggest issue (or maybe the redundant mod). Skyrim is looking and running good now! Now I can just focus on the game and enjoy it without having to worry about...hey I wonder if there is a mod that will...

Well I have tried so many tweaks and ini settings but nothing really helps! Sometimes I think it's improved but then my FPS tanks again later. I guess it's stable enough to play as I'm usually between 40-60 FPS but it's just unbearable when it dips down to 20ish at times. Blarg!

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm still searching for a solution and have been trying various mods and ini tweaks and it has gotten a tiny bit better but I still at times suffer from very low FPS in certain areas. The ironic thing is the game has been quite stable. I am not crashing at all or experiencing anything unusual other than continuous FPS drops. I'll keep experimenting I guess and then maybe start uninstalling mods until I find one that is maybe taxing my system more than it's worth having.

I posted a similar thread yesterday and I see you don't have any replies, either. Not sure if it's just too complicated or system dependent but I was also hoping for some tips to improve my FPS. Mine seems to be bad when I first load an area (15-20 FPS) but then if I look around and let it load more of the game it stablizes to 60+ but then if I move to a new spot it tanks again for a while. :(

So I recently started playing Skyrim again because I never finished it the other 2 times I started. Decided this time I would start fresh and heavily mod the game before even starting so I had a good and consistent experience from the start instead of tinkering with stuff throughout. I'm mostly using this Predcaliber walk-through: http://www.predcaliber.com/skyrim-1 except that I'm using the Antique Dragon ENB instead of the one in that walk-through (and some of the suggested mods from the Antique Dragon ENB). I have everything installed and it looks good and all but I am getting really poor FPS when I initially load the game. I suspect this is due to the large number of high res textures that I added and once they all get loaded my FPS goes from 15-20 up to a pretty stable 55-80. If it ended there I wouldn't mind but as I move around it seems to drop again from time to time before getting stable again. As an example I was in Bleak Falls Barrow and my FPS would be great until I go into a new room and then it drops again for a while before stabilizing again. I'm wondering if anyone knows any mods or .ini tweaks that will improve my performance so that I'm not dropping FPS so often to load textures (assuming that's what is even happening). Maybe if someone knows any particular load order issues (or just mods) that cause or can remedy this? My system should be adequate to run a modded Skyrim so I don't think it's that: 1070ti i7-4790 3.6Ghz 16GB RAM Windows 10 I read somewhere that W10 has some issues with fully utilizing video cards with more than 4GB of memory (or something) so maybe that has something to do with it but not sure if that is true or even applies to me but maybe someone else knows about this. BTW, I can post my mod list/order if need be but it mostly follows the list/order in the link above for Predcaliber.

I'm having this same issue. I'm new to modding so I'm probably doing something wrong but having trouble determining what the issue is. I'm following the mod instructions but still getting the color mismatch issue between head and body. I think I have narrowed it down to the mod in question because I removed all mods and started adding them back in until I saw it resurface. Added CBBE (full with face) - everything seems ok Added in Apachii Hair (1.5, 1.3 female and 1.1 male) and this is where the mismatch happens. Following the Apachii instructions and it says to make sure and add the body and face before installing this which I did (according to the CBBE documentation) but it doesn't work. I would just leave this one out but I hate the vanilla hair. :( Anyone have any suggestions?
