Really annoying thing

[hamada147]

whenever i instal any follower mods into skyrim
it make a lot of performance issues whenever i look at the follower or he/she is moving around me (following me)
and i have no idea whatsoever is making this annoying thing
and whenever i load a place where this follower is it takes ages to load
anyone know how to fix this problem
or at least what is causing it

i would really appreciate it if anyone told me how to fix it
P.S
1- i have 102 mods installed and there is no performance issues at all except when i'm near a mod character
2- my laptop is I3 , 1GB ATI Graphics card , 4GB Ram and OS Windows 7

Only 2 things I can think of that might help.

 

Set the tesv.exe as a trusted program with your antivirus, and check "do not scan files on access". Most mods add stuff as loose files. Unlike the game's compressed files, loose files will be scanned every time they are accessed.

 

Defrag the hard drive.

first i don't have an antivirus
so i don't have a problem with the first thing
second there is no scan is done to mess with the mods or the game files
but anyway thanks

first i don't have an antivirus

 

Well then, you'll want to get some and make sure it's not a virus that's causing performance problems.

okay i will
then i will see if there is any virus threats at the computer
and tell you back

Windows Defender and/or Windows Security Essentials are free.

Malwarebytes has a free trial.

Windows Defender does not, what an anti virus software is supposed to do. Stop playing with his mind, that's not nice =)

 

But yes, it depdends on what mods you use, in what order they load and if your computer has other issues. Yesterday, Skyrim started to hang for a second every time a kill animation is expected. I did not change anything concerning mods, the only difference is, that I am now running around in Falskaar, which seems to be a lot more VRAM hungry on high textures and far drawing distances. I would check the file system for fragmentation, see if the hard disk has enough free space, any graphics driver settings are unnormal converning VRAM use.

 

Then I'd go a little deeper. Does it only happen indoors or in big rooms? Do you run Skyrim in fullscreen or borderless window? Do you have any mods, that alter companion appearance? Are they installed and/or loaded in the right order? Is it just companions or every NPC? Is your CPU fine while playing? Mine never climbs over 25%, the bottlenecks are the hard disk (no lags on the SSD) and the GFX card (GPU-Z keeps telling me 100% use and a full 1.2 GB VRAM). Do you have any companion behavior modifying mods? Other behavior files, like revenge of the enemies?

UFO is known for being buggy, unstable and game breaking.

Try AFT and possibly running in full screen.
