Large Save File when starting a New Game

[ArcturusFyr]

When I start a new game, everything seems to run fine. After quitting a session and then starting again, I noticed performance has decreased drastically with actual frame drops and significant amounts of stuttering.

 

Checking the save files show that they have already grown to 13 megabytes in size, even though I just started the game. Could my mods be causing this, if so which ones?

Precautions I have taken in order to reduce reduce save bloating.

 

Turned off cloaking scripts and npc style's in XPSME mcm while in qasmoke cell or Anise's Cabin basement.

Removed Immersive Armor's and installed Guards Armor replacer, NordUA's New Legion in place.

Made a Bashed Patch for entire modlist, encompassing anything that modifies, or utilizes its own leveled list's.(but no tags had been added to anything yet)

 

All mod's were installed and organized through Mod Organizer 2

 

Here's my current load order at the current count of 162 (172 pre-bashed patch and without bashed patch esp)

 

Esm files are all sorted by loot, all esp files were all sorted by hand.
