What mods should I get rid of?

[Jeux]

I would just like to say that I uninstalled every single mod I had about 20 minutes ago...I just got sick of it. I'm currently developing a fairly large mod, and its a hassle to have to deal with low performance just so I can have these mods that I honestly don't NEED but PREFER.

 

Perhaps I'll get about half of them back in the future, but for now, all I have installed is Darnified UI. And I'm content, the game still looks ok! (its not an ugly game, guys. Not at all.)

 

Just thought I'd throw this in here.

[cheburator987]

More mods,longer loads.

CTG.

[Shantih]

Using too many mods can lead to compatibility issues and major headaches later on.

 

IMO you don't need to enable all these mods, especially if you're not going to use them all. For instance you have probably 10 armour mods on this list. Are you planning to use them all at the same time? It's doubtful. The same goes for weapons.

 

It's good to have a short list of must have mods that you won't play without so you can add the stuff that you really need and skip what you won't use in this playthrough.

[huntsman2310]

its probably a best bet to only download and use mods which you are absolutely sure will be used regurlarly, for instance EVE, FOOK, or Project Nevada are a few.

[BaronofHe11]

Using to many mods can cause problems. Using mods that adds large numbers of npcs can cause problems. Using mods that change graphics can cause problems. Using high rez textures can cause problems.

 

Looking at your list you have mods that adds NPCs, changes weather, and effects graphic. Any one of these could be to much for your machine. All of them going at the same time can bring a good machine down.

 

Are you using a merge patch? If not you should be.

Are you using the 4 gig ram extender (assuming you have more than 4 gigs of ram)

Did you turn off cloud sync? If you have a crash every 30 minutes to a hour almost on the dot this is probably the problem.

Did you turn off auto update

Did you turn off anti virus programs.

 

If none of that works keep removing mods until the problem goes away.

[Shantih]

Downloading and using is fine, it's using them all at the same time that may cause issues and put too much stress on your system.

 

If you know what you're doing you can get away with using many mods but in the end it may still be taxing for your system so without getting rid of every other mod it may be best to lighten a load order which doesn't necessarily mean getting rid of all of them. It's not a matter of going to extremes (one way or another) but more a question of finding some equilibrium. :happy:

[Derpghost56]

My question is: if you have a bunch of mods in the manager, but not activated, does it still mess up your game?
