Amil111 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hello, I'm wondering and a bit scared by save bloating as I love playing on the same savegame for the longest I can.But I hear stories about the limit being 64mb or 128mb for each save thanks to Engine Fixes for SSE.Having lot of mods, I know it will go there quickly, but I wonder, is there a way so it never goes there by removing bloat the save does not need?Or is there a way to go even higher than 128mb without causing too much problems to the game?Also wondering this for Fallout 4, New Vegas and Oblivion.

scorrp10 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 #1 cause of massive save bloat is not having a lot of mods. Most mods will contribute less that 1k to a save. One of my saves from a real real long running game (lvl 60+, lots of content done) barely pushes 11MB. If you got an explosively growing save, look for a mod that spawns lots and lots and lots of script instances and does not clean them up. Enabling Papyrus logging and monitoring the log for spamming can be a good way to pinpoint a culprit. Another option is rather tedious - load a bloated save in ReSaver and go though .esp checking how many script instances// change forms each has. Then kill all those instances and remove the mod.
