Eyam3 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hi all, I'm thinking of uninstalling my current (more or less) stable game & reinstalling with Sky redone. I remember from installing my current mods a few of them had options for if Skyre was installed, so as I'm also planning on toning down some graphics for a smoother/more stable game I think just uninstalling Skyrim then downloading it from steam & starting over would be best. I've done that twice before due to a couple of disasters - the best of which was installing 100 mods from a list of top 100 mods via steam then trying to start a game, no testing involved - it's a wonder I even got that game to load I think :) Anyway, first question ... installing mods, how frequently should I test the game works by loading a save with new mods on, running about in Skryim for 5 mins, checking the mod works? When I installed my current working game, I did it after every 3 or so. This time round, it'll be pretty much the same mods I've used before. Do you think I could get away with installing more at once without testing? Second question, some mods I see have options for 1k, 2k & 4k textures. My monitor does 1920 x 1080 resolution. If I swap down to 1k textures where possible will the difference be noticeable? Thanks. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gromulos Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 First, what kind of video card do you have, if you only have 2 gigs memory, then 4K textures won't work for you, in fact, if you have 4 gigs of memory I personally would only go as far as using 2K textures 2) what programs are you using to check and verify your load order, I use this procedure below: When ever i install mods and start a new game i do it in this order below: 1) install every mod I am going to use2) run loot3) run wrye bash and correct load order4) run TES5EDIT and verify load order I run 151 mods + several Fomods / packages and all i have is a crappy 6450 2 gig GPU. I get 33 FPS outside and 55-60 inside :) If you use all 3 programs like I listed above, you will have a much more STABLE mod setup and far less problems during your play through AND yes, I use SKYre ( Skyrim Redone ) and the Reproccer :) see below for the correct load order when using SKYre and the Reproccer according to Gopher :) http://snag.gy/spMq8.jpg Let me know if you need anymore help :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyam3 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the reply & the list, I'm using an R9 290 GPU with 4GB of VRAM. Installing mods, I use NMM mostly (well, apart from those few that demand manual install, like UNP), then use Loot to order them, TesEdit to clean them, & Wyrebash to create/update the bashed patch after each new addition. Forgot to mention, I also use Realvision ENB ... do you manage to run your game with those mods & an ENB. & avoid ctds entirely?

gromulos Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I don't use an ENB at all, my crappy 2 gig asus 6450 GPU would shoot me lol :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
