EquestrianMidnight Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) I was reading about FootIK and saw someone mention string tables. This is what they said: "As long as you are not either running A LOT of animations, and\or running complicated mods which add a lot of strings to your save like mods with complicated MCM menus ( like Grimy's MCMs ), Interesting NPCs ( this mod adds more than almost any other ), or Legacy of the Dragonborn ( for being freaking huge ), you won't need Crash Fixes. If you are combining multiple of these options, your save has an expiration date on it, at some point you just don't be able to load it, possibly after a hundred hours worth of play or more, it just won't work. This is because of the string values in your papryrus save which Crash Fixes was made to fix." Is this true? Because if it is, this worries and confuses me. I use Interesting NPCs, SexLab, and OSA. According to the same post, Skyrim has about 65536 or so strings. Starting up the game as vanilla uses 28,000 of those. With a full S.T.E.P install, it uses 32,000 strings. So I downloaded ReSaver, backed up my saves. and had it inspect my save. Currently, my game has 52250 strings used. I'm not sure if I should worry about this, however. I've never seen this before. And for three years, I was a very irresponsible modder, but I never had long-lasting issues on loading saves. That was my first game. My second game didn't last because I was crashing in the middle of gameplay. This issue talks about loading saves. I'm currently on my third game. I'm worried about the expiration date of my third game. Is that information valid? And if it is, what should I do? EDIT: According to ReSaver, the Take Notes mod uses these as well.

EquestrianMidnight Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 Never mind. Just learned Crash Fixes lets you no longer worry about the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
