Luka25565 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I really recommend it. Its one of the best mods ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csbx Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 One thing to bear in mind: just because a mod is large in size, it does not mean that it will cause any kind of noticeable effect on script latency / FPS. As an example, Interesting npcs generally has its assets dispersed throughout the world--it isn't as if you're running into 100 npcs added by that mod in the same cell. I happen to run a fairly old win 7 system and notice zero impact from Interesting NPCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My system is so heavy in VRAM usage that I am now scrounging for every bit of VRAM left. I will take your advice though :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nephenee13 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Legacy of the Dragonborn is way over bloated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csbx Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 @nephenee13 - what do you mean by that ? I'm not disagreeing, I'm just trying to be clear about how it may be troublesome for a slower computer. I think it's definitely true that for the cells that ICA adds--well, they're a bit intense and would overwhelm some systems. But does this affect other areas of skyrim in some way ?

Moksha8088 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 The action in Interesting NPCs (Skyrim's #1 quest mod) is spread throughout Skyrim so that no single part is burdensome on VRAM. Graphics mods and textures would place much more of a demand on limited VRAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest deleted80903 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) - Interesting NPCs - I've found this to be no problem at all. I recommend it.- Civil War Overhaul - Not bad, may not play well with other mods that change these quests/factions though. Recommended.- Summerset Isles - Intensive. I could not run it without first uninstalling a lot of other large quest mods. Partly because the textures are large by default and possibly not optimized, though unpacking the BSA and downsizing everything did not help me much.- Shadow of Morrowind - unknown- Falskaar & Wyrmstooth & Elsweyr - FS and WT are great mods and not really too heavy. Both recommended.- Moon and Star - Actually a pretty small quest mod, shouldn't give you issues.- Wheels of Lull - Increased some load times for me, I ended up uninstalling and not playing it.- Legacy of the Dragonborn - An older version was not great. Current version fine, and optional lower res textures. I still have issues in the Safehouse if I adopt kids there, so I don't. Recommended. I have similar specs to yours and run ~400 mods. I should mention that I am running Legendary Edition with Legacy of the DB, Falskaar, Wyrmstooth, Moon and Star, Interesting NPCs, and CWO all at the same time right now, including several other heavy mods, including SL's Amorous. If you are having VRAM issues and crashes, definitely get ENBoost, Crash Fixes, MSI Afterburner, and the Swiftshader .DLL. Look into what you need to do to get them all configured properly for your system and you'll get a lot more out of it.
