2 pronged question

[Evantyr]

Have 2 questions, one is performance based the other is pose/animation based.

 

Im currently running 121 mods and my fallout seems to be bogging down now, im using the 4gb NVSE.EXE and im running 16gb ram (not that that really matters past 4 with FNV), AMD Radeon HD 6570 and havent really had performance issues until recently.

 

Issue: Near Nellis or any location with sentry bots (its terrible, take almost 10 seconds for loot window to come up) my game starts chopping in and out, acting almost as if it is freezing. I have already gone through and streamlined any conflicts mentioned on the mod pages of the mods im running, most of which are armor/clothing/weapon mods, major exceptions being ARES, Run the L38, Willow, SInnuendo, Increased Wasteland Spawns (set to medium, not super high) and Nevada Skies.

 

I dont remember where i saw it but something about a program like 'resource lasso' or somesuch... saw it weeks ago and didnt thinka bout it. Would this help at all?

 

 

Animation Question: Why do NPCS wearing powerarmor stand in a half-***ed jumping jack position when staying still? Im noticing it with ARES project powerarmors and the vanilla sets with replacers from

http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/44711/?

. Could this be because of the Type 3 body or am i missing a file somewhere? Because honestly something so small as their idle stance is irritating me as much as the performance issue.

Could you post a screenshot of the weird stance? I run a heavily modified game and have not noticed any strange idle animations. I use Breeze and Beware of girl as my replacers so any issues due to type 3 bodies should have shown up.

 

I assume sinnuendo is FNV Sexual Innuendo? Willow has a noted incompatibility with that MOD. Not saying this is the cause but running known incompatible mods can't be helping things.

 

121 mods is in the 'danger zone' for when FNV begins to freak out. The issue is memory management (or lack thereof).

 

Other things to try:

Consider replacing some of your mods with a rollup like MMUE/MMUE+ and NVEC which roll in many of the most popular small mods and also include some bug fixes. Also the bug fix mod YUP helped me (together with the other two I mentioned). Obviously this will increase the load a bit and it would be best if you could also reduce the number of mods. One thing I have not tried but read about is FNVPlugin which allows you to merge mods. I suspect this would make a mess of things if you are not VERY careful which mods you merge. For example simple clothing mods might be candidates.

I do use FNVEdit and recommend it. It will scan your load order and find errors. You can also make a merge patch which is not merging all the mods but rather a conflict-resolution ESP. It won't fix everything but it helps,

Finally try Otimizer Textures http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/46074//? to recompress some of the textures. Be cautious and backup. I use mild settings + use mip maps with good results. (smaller files, faster frame rates). You can also do BSA files but do one at a time with a backup. The utility makes its own backups but I prefer to do it myself mostly due to paranoia.

I'll get that screenie in a minute, I dunno why i didn't think to grab one last night. I'll also grab my DxDiag.

 

As for the Willow Vs SInnuendo, its supposedly only causes conflicts with the packages she uses as a follower, which i figured i could easily enough resolve if i noticed which i haven't. Rather have Willow the gun firing, singing bad*** than SI anyways, if it does come down to it.

 

Never played with FNVedit other than to load it up and see if i could tinker with the merged patches when i did have some major conflicters, but i make near daily backups of my data folder anyways so it wouldn't hurt to play around with it further. FNVPlugin, never heard of that one... Might give it a shot with the 30+ clothing/armor mods and then the weapon mods... none of them conflict in location, i JUST realized i never checked the leveled lists though... G36 and CFWNV both use leveled lists and i still have both weapons on NCR troopers for example.

 

Otherwise it comes down to manually merging some mods... which thinking about it sounds like enough fun that i could not want to ever do it again for several thousand lifetimes... lol.

Screenies:

Screenie two. Tried to get them smaller so i can multi-attach but too much smaller and its gonna be harder to see what i mean.

 

This is a NON-power armor. The idle stance is still kinda wide but not as 'half-***ed jumping jack' as the power armor. I will have a pic of what normal armor looks like so you can see what i mean.

Regular armor (Asuka Mk IV)

t-51b with T3 Replacer.

 

Also found the real name of that program. Proccess Lasso. Basically lets you set priorities for your PC, among other things.
