Draco856 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Okay, so I have over 400 mods I want to use, but it seems they have incompatibilities with each other, I've merged enough of them to actually get under the 255 limit, but this is where problems start I think. I have several overhaul mods, as well as several others, most of the mods are small (Under 300kb), merging them using TES4 Gecko doesn't seem to help, Any suggestions on what I can do to make them compatible? I'm using Wyre Bash The total number of mods I have comes to 479 (including ones that can be merged into the bashed patch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlong54210 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You have to worry about the number of BSAs you have as well. If you really know your mods well, you can probably do quite a bit with TES4Edit. Do you even know whether or not this setup will run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco856 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 It runs, at least for a little bit, but lags my game. So it's iffy I think. And Do BSAs really matter if I extract the files anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco856 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yeah, but I do it anyway just to make sure I have all the files I need for a mod. I've found some mods that have BSAs that don't have all the files needed in that archive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlong54210 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Yes. You can extract all of your BSAs. You should leave at least one file in each of the original BSAs, and leave them in your Data folder, however. Make sure you extract them directly into your Data folder, or the Meshes BSA files will give you some trouble. Do not move or copy them around.

Draco856 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thats what I do, I'm going to try and learn how to use PyFFI to optimize my meshes folder, I think my entire data folder has gotten to be over 37 GBs. I've been thinking I should just do a clean install because I've been installing mods like crazy, but I only want to do that as a last resort.

Tomlong54210 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The size of your Data folder is not really problematic (if your system can handle it), but conflicting mods and having too many mods do matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco856 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Well, according to the thread, PyFFI will solve the lagging problem. I know they all the mods work together to an extent because the game loads, and I can play for a short time, but the lagging caused crashes. I'm re-merging all the mods I did before, but making sure I stamp out all incompatibilities before I do so. The only real problem I'm having now is that I can't open my inventory without the game freezing. But that hopefully will be fixed when I start new game, with less mods. Because I'm removing the ones I can do without. And my system could handle it, but recently I've been running out of memory, so I'm going to get another hard drive to put in my computer, hopefully freeing me to do whatever I want.

Tomlong54210 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I was not talking about your system being able to hand 40GB of mods. Lots of systems have space for that. I am talking about loading 30GB of resources. Well, you'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
