Skyrim inventory stuttering/slowdowns.

[PresidentDylan5]

I have developed a strange problem where there seems to be a very small stutter each time I transfer an item to another inventory (container, looting, etc) which means it takes a lot longer to transfer lots of items like ingredients and it is very frustrating. I have a large load order with SkyUI and Mod Organizer:

is a specific container? I'm really bad and just dump ALL my stuff in one chest. because there's so much stuff in there, it lags when depositing or withdrawing items :')

 

You can over-fill containers. It's a thing

[PresidentDylan5]

Oh wow you're right! I had been storing all my items on my horse, there is no issue if I use smaller containers. Thanks for the help

[Guest deleted5528329]

another issue that causes is stuttering is the amount of weight carried if you have that set to high you can cause stuttering and slowness dur to all the info that the engine has to read.

[Darkanvas]

No problem! I also get this if I tell one of my followers to carry too much stuff and then try to trade/open backpack/hold items with them.

 

I had no idea that the weight thing could also cause it. Very interesting!

 

Maybe a potential dirty fix would be to make a mod that makes all items weightless, but only when they're stored in a container.

[bongodoctor]

I also get this issue when I am transferring a large number of items to or from a container - I suspect this is a scripting issue rather than anything to do with graphics settings etc. All that is happening is that data is getting written into a new file which holds the containers contents. It sees to be the number of different items that cause it not the number itself so 1000 iron daggers won't be an issue but 250 different weapons would be. If this is papyrus scripting then it is handled by the CPU not the GPU presumably as a separate thread. It is strange that something as simple as writing data to a file - which ordinarily would not put any strain on a CPU does in Skyrim - I am wondering whether the scripting wasn't designed to handle a large number of different items added by mods and could be writing all of the data again each time you add one more item - which might explain why the stuttering gets gradually worse as you add or take things to the container. There must be a way to fix this issue, but I would have no idea where to start - but I will be doing some research and post back to this thread if I make any progress :)
