Darkanvas Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) I tried deactivating some mods in the MCM. Seriously, I have like... 10 to 20+ mods in the MCM and a lot of those use scripts fairly heavily right? Especially stuff like Hunterborn, Frostfall AND "Sands of Time". Deactivating 3-4 of the mods in there seemed to improve things slightly, and the suggested Skyrim.ini tweaks improved things a little further (though not as much as deactivating some stuff). If mods are 'deactivated' do their scripts still run at all? Is it better to fully uninstall? I'm now optimising all my textures and BSAs using SMCO (after backing up all my mods), it's a bit of a pain doing all my mod organizer mod folders one by one :') but hopefully should be worth it Thanks everyone for all your help so far Edit: Here's a quick and dirty export of all my mods (not all of them are active... but most of them are): "D:\Games\Mod Organizer\mods\3rd Person Finishers Only" "D:\Games\Mod Organizer\mods\A Matter Of Time -

I'd say at least 140/150 of them are 'active'. Note that the above is not the load order. The load and mod orders check out ok through MO and I don't ever get any CTD or anything like that. I also have a 'lite' bashed patch which is just levelled list amends. Both Skyrim and all the mods are located on my secondary 4TB D-drive, which is an SSHD (hybrid) drive. Could that in and of itself be causing any issues? This is the SSHD: ST4000DX001-1CE168 Manufacturer Seagate Heads 16 Cylinders 219,051 Tracks 55,858,005 Sectors 3,519,054,315 SATA type SATA-III 6.0Gb/s Device type Fixed ATA Standard ACS2 Serial Number Z302SJGY Firmware Version Number CC44 LBA Size 48-bit LBA Power On Count 119 times Power On Time 68.8 days Speed 5900 RPM Features S.M.A.R.T., APM, NCQ Max.

vram1974 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I hate bagging on any mod and I mean no offence at all to anybody but I would definitely dump Sands of Time. It's just a total script heavy haywire CTD machine. And I don't say this because I'm a jerk. I tried several times to install it and tweak it and work with it and basically it always comes down to the fact that this thing will blow the doors off your machine with its script heavy encounters. If you have Save Game Script Cleaner you can load your save game and see which mods have loaded the most scripts into your save file. http://i.imgur.com/NH0d3i8.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkanvas Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 Well this certainly seems to mean something: What exactly does it mean and what should I do about it? or how can I 'check it out' and make some kind of intelligent decision? Duly noted about SoT. I think in my heart of hearts I know I have to remove it since I use so many other things I want to keep (Hunterborn, Frostfall). I still think it's a good mod and endorse it but yes it is maniacally script heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vram1974 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 That happens to me all the time. You can safely delete all your active scripts. Just click that whole list and "delete selected". If for some insane reason something goes wrong you merely reload the backup file. Also, most active scripts when they're that high is usually some critterspawn glitch, it usually cleans itself out when you change to a new cell. I'll bet if you go indoors or outdoors and check your active scripts again they'll be back to 4 or 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkanvas Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) it makes me wonder if I could pay a programmer/developer to amend the Skyrim engine so it uses a scripting engine that isn't papyrus :') I imagine it would cost some dolla though, if it were even possible. We desperately need a 'ReScript' mod that solves these issues. Edit: FYI to anyone reading this, finally solved the issue by removing Sands of Time. Here are the steps I took: 1) Deactivate the mod in MCM 2) Wait until it's fully deactivated, save the game and close it 3) Deactivate SoT in MO 4) Open Skyrim, reload the save and tell it to continue loading with missing content 5) Re-save the game and quit to desktop 6) Open the save with the save game script cleaner, use the primary four options along the top. Save over the old save 7) Re-open Skyrim, load the save. Stutter fully gone! ... moral of the story, Papyrus is awful, never underestimate 'script' lag. Even when you own a rig with a 4GHz i7, GTX 980 (4GB) and 16GB of DDR3 RAM. it still hurts you! Edited June 12, 2015 by Darkanvas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonycubed2 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Just an observation. Most of the issues my users have with SOT are because of resources not being available to support dynamic truly random spawns. No one has complained about script lag with SOT in over a year, and script lag has been hard to measure since I created the one virtual script model. With the system in place no major SOT script will run if s script is already executing. Not trying to sell the mod, just expand on what I believe is the real issue. 32 bit code designed with Xbox and play station in mind resulting in a game with severely limited resources. Every user here has been fair in commenting. SOT is not for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
