I need confirmation or to be told that i'm an idiot.

Is it just me or does every single mod that alters settlements, restores buildings in settlements, give new roofs, flatten and so, all, and i mean ALL, introduce some kind of microstutter.

Not lag, just a minuscule stutter going off every 10 seconds.

 

Or am i being weird?, again.

 

At this point i feel like i have tried absolutely everything to make it go away, to a point where i begin to think that i might be imagining the problem.

 

I have tried these mods in every imaginable configuration and combination, no dice. I can run the game in 2k with a lot of trees, grass, perfectly fine, but even when i turn everything vanilla the stutter persists.

 

I might be going insane...

No, you're not going insane (at least not alone, He, he). I notice the same thing. I need to avoid mods that alter terrrain and buildings or my game gets funky. I can't even use Subway Runner be cause it messes with my game. I'm not a modder or programmer, so I have no idea why. Something to do with "precombined meshes" perhaps, I don't know. With my PC, I have to pick and choose mods perhaps a bit more carefully than most with all Bethesda games, just to keep them running smoothly. A lot of trial and error, but I've gotten used to it over the years. If I didn't enjoy these games so much, I won't bother with it. I've also noticed that what works for most doesn't always work for me , and the opposite is also true. I usually just have to try a mod and see what happens. Sorry if I'm not much help, but you are NOT going insane, He, he.

I've noticed that the vast majority of settlement modification and/or cleanup mods only have an .esp file, meaning they don't regenerate the previs/precombines that are disabled by the edits to the cell.

 

Not to say that is contributing to what you've described but something to consider as a possibility. Even if a mod does regenerate previs/precombines that data isn't as optimised as the vanilla data (such as it is) so there might be something there as well.

 

That being said, I have a few settlement rebuilds I've made for myself in the CK with the precombine data regenerated. I haven't noticed any such stutter. Anecdotal I know, but maybe worth mentioning.

 

Trosski has a really well done settlement cleanup mod that regenerates previs/precombines...it removes trash and debris from Commonwealth settlements. Might be worth you testing it and see if you have the same issue.

EDIT: if you haven't done so already, you might take a look at the comment sections of the mods you are experiencing this with...maybe someone has reported something similar.

I tried those mods a little while ago, and while they function as advertised, and very well i might ad, i went with a "invisible" replacer for the ugliest trash. That way i don't even have to clean anything or mess with ze pre-combined in the first place. I simply don't go anywhere near those edits, and my life is all the better for it.
