Hints and Tips to stabilize my Skyrim better

[mach1991]

Hy dear Community,

 

Playing Skyrim over and over and gets CTD´s (now not so many), but very VERY often freezes (often in Combat, mostly when its starts or my char is or attacked/attacking) and often when i enter a new area (after a loading screen) and sometimes eternal loadingscreens (often when i start my game from my desktop and i choose a save outside in the skyrim worldspace).

 

So if someone has some hints ore tips to optimizes my games i would really appreciate that.

 

Later on this post i will post my esps and esms.

I already know that i have really many mods but i updates them and made personal changes to some of them to increase the stability.

Post like "WTF 255 mods no wonder you cant play skyrim go and d*** ", are not welcome. I really need constructive help.

Maybe such hints and tips will also help other skyrim-players.

 

So first hers my PC :

i5-2320 3.00 Ghz

GTX 650 1GB (Evga)

8 GB Ram

744 GB Harddrive , Currently because of backup issues they are only 20 gb free :sweat:

 

And here is my list of Modifications that are NO esps ore esms

SKSE (0.1.6.16)

SKSE Plugin :

• CellStabilizer.dll
• CFM_extensions.dll
• nioverride.dll
• showRaceMenu_preCacheKiller.dll
• SKSE_Elys_Uncapper.dll Version: 1.15.1.1

ENB Real Vision Performance Edition (I changed some paras like setting bloomqual to low and shadow to low)

 

Here my Skyrim Ini ,Skyrim Prefs ini and enblocal.ini

The problems you describe can be caused by other processes/services/apps using too much memory. What are you doing to disable all but the essential ones of these?

also, papyrus logging takes up a fair bit of memory, I suggest you disable this until you are needing to generate a log for troubleshooting.

 

You have a lot of mods that spawn new things. That could also casue the problems you describe. You may simply have to choose to save a few for a different playthrough.

[vlaka]

first of you're using a s#*! tonne of mods which add, alter and change almost every aspect of the game.

second, some of the mods you're using have been written off by alot of modders until these mods get updated.

third, run boss to see if cleaning is needed and if mods are out of date and then tes5edit to see if your load order is ok and adjust it via NMM as necessary.

 

Cull your mod list, don't use mods which add 'fluff', only use those you really need to enhance what you want the most out of your skyrim experience.

 

http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.6 is a very good place to start for what mods to use etc.
