Will there be no ways to shorten the loading time?

Hello, I've been enjoying Bethesda games for several years.

 

 

One characteristic of Bethesda games is that you have to undergo loading everytime you move from cell to cell.

 

 

Many people regarded it annoying, and found some solutions to shorten the loading time.

 

 

Mostly, they were related to FPS and V-Sync.

 

 

In Skyrim, one could cut loading time into half by inserting words below into Skyrim.ini file.

 

 

[interface]

uTicksToWait=64

 

 

I do not know how exactly it works, but I saw some posts explaining that loading time can be shortened by limiting FPS in loading screen.

 

 

That number 64 means how many miliseconds the game takes per frame. And the default value is 32, which translates into 30fps.

 

 

Therefore, setting this value to 64 equals limiting FPS in loading screen to 15. In contrast, setting it to 16 equals limiting FPS to 60.

 

 

I myself and some other folks did enjoyed short loading time using this tweak.

 

 

In Fallout 4, there is an excellent mod called 'Load Accelerator' : http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10283/?

 

 

It uses a method from ENB to selectively halt V-Sync function only during loading screen. Letting framerate to surge up to 300-400.

 

 

Author mentioned that in contrary to original Skyrim, Fallout 4's loading time can be shortened by high framerate.

 

 

This mod also worked fine for me. My loading time has decreased dramatically. For example, It took 30 seconds to load Diamond City or Commonwealth, but the mod decreased it to 7-8 seconds.

 

 

Now, back to Skyrim Special Edition, it often takes over than 10 seconds to load Skyrim or major cities, sometimes hitting 20 seconds.

 

 

My Rig is like below.

 

 

i5-6600

GTX1080

16GB RAM

GIGABYTE B150 Durable Edition

Micron MX200 500GB SSD (SSE Installed here!)

Toshiba 3TB HDD (For many, many 'Admirable Videos')

 

 

No Retexture, using Populated Cities mod which puts several Actors in cities.

 

 

The 64-bit, DX11 engine may work similary to Fallout 4, and I think 'Load Accelerator for SSE' is possible enough.

 

 

I just wanted to ask, will there be any mod or tweak to decrease the loading time of Skyrim Special Edition? Is it possible?

 

 

Sorry for my poor English(It's not my native language), and Thanks for reading.

I don't know the solution... but I would just like to say that i have SSE installed on a HDD and it takes nowhere that long on loading screens.

 

Something you could consider is the mod "Open Cities" witch eliminates loadings, at least thats what i think it does as i never used it

My relevant specs are i5 4670k, 780GTX SLI and 8GB DDR3.

I have Skyrim SE installed on a Samsung EVO 500GB SSD. Load times for cities is around 2 or 3 seconds and load times for buildings and caves is 1 or less than 1 second.

 

Clicking continue from the menu and loading into the game takes no more than 5 seconds as well. (Fallout 4 would take much longer, sometimes 20 - 30 seconds.)

 

I use a lot of mods, the meshes and textures folder combined are 2.7 GB.
