I recently got this game for my laptop from the steam sale, having played it since release on console. Set it up, downloaded a load of mods (being a bit ambitious) and (after sorting a few issues) finally got it working. Only, rather predictably, the game ran very slow and would freeze any time I reached a new landmark or got attacked by multiple enemies.
My specs are: 6GB Ram, AMD A6-3420M APU with Radeon HD Graphics, 1.50GHz and 64-bit operating system. Not great, especially for a game like this.
So, firstly, will I ever be able to enjoy this game without noticeable performance issues on these specs if I manage the mods I use better?
If that is possible, then which mods do I really need to be avoiding - which mods will be too much for my processor to handle? I've already downloaded the main performance enhancing mods mentioned here (http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1015916-ultimate-skyrim-nexus-mod-management-guide/).
