Majormonologue Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I currently have a low end computer and am running SSE with 150+ mods. I used to have over 200 mods and the game was becoming unplayable due to constant crashing and jitters. I decided to get rid of the ones I didn't use as much to try to optimize my performance. After getting rid of about fifty of them I was happy with my work as the game was running better, but the game began to constantly freeze. These freezing preformed in the middle of actions like drawing a weapon or quick saving though sometimes they just happened when I wasn't doing anything. The freezes didn't simply crash the game but forced me to restart my entire computer. Which took a long time. I have been spending hours a day the last week trying to fix it by deleting mods and other things. But though the crashes are now only every five minutes or so instead of every minute, the game is still impossible to play. I have no idea what to do and any help would be appreciated.

pathtopower Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Remove as many script intensive mods that slow down the papyrus engine. You can keep the texture type mods that replaces the terrain, dungeons or vanilla clothes or armor mods or even animation mods just fine. The less intensive script mods you got, the more stable the game will be. And try to and keep the load order to below 100 mods if possible. Merge the armors and weapons mods to reduce the amount to a strict minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pathtopower Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Just post the list of all the mods. Use loot to properly setup the mod in the best optimal order. Clean the dirty edits in the update, dawnguard and other dlc. Also remember the one of the first rules of modding. NEVER remove a mod during the gameplay specially script heavy mods are in play, the orphan scripts will mess up the save and cause a corruption save. I still don't know if there are currently functioning save cleaners that can aid in fixing that because the new saves are all compressed to take less space. A example of scripted mods can be adventure mods, expansion mods. mods that replaces in game mechanics in the game menus or change a npc AI script routine. Weather mods can also be script heavy that can slow down because the rain or snow particles might have been increased for immersive purposes and that can tax the game engine. Go and restart a new game, with alternative life. some textures terrain mods, animation replacements if you like enjoy those, favorite armors. Run around a bit and see if there is any slowdowns and slowly add 1-2 mods at a time and repeat this until you hit that sweet spot before the slowdowns start. You have to see and judge just how far you can go before you notice a dip in the fps. Take a note of that when it happens and then make a choice what mods to remove to increase the fps. Might help to decrease god rays from high to very low. Edited December 12, 2016 by pathtopower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majormonologue Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 ok, thanks for the help, I believe the what I did was deleting too many script heavy mods and corrupting the saves, better to learn the hard way than not at all I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
