huge save game sizes (bloated?)

[nemocdt]

HI, i'm running 227 mods and my save game size is 188mb im only level 7,

is this going to corrupt my game later on? i ran the save cleaner tool and it only removed 69 orphan scripts from 385544.

should i be concerned?

i just checked back through my save sizes and at save 39 the save size was 10mb then i uninstalled populated towns and cities my next save was 198mb

you should never remove mods from an existing save file , especially ones with scripts or quests

what I would suggest is that you start a new character with your current mod setup

play for a few hours , and see if you still have large save files

because a 100+ mb save file isn't something you are supposed to have , and that save file will probably have massive issues in the future , if you try to continue with it

i re installed populated towns and cities and went back to save 39, save game now back under 10mb

i un istalled it because no dialogue was being triggered with modded npc's including improved vanilla npc's

i'm running interesting npc's, inconsequential npc;s, lively inns ands taverns and populated towns and cities.

dialogue problem turned out to be wearing the sneak hood from sneak tools mod.

remove hood and dialogue is triggered.

i've never played skyrim from beginning to end and finally have master race pc worthy of it. i've spent the last 2 months building and testing my modgame.

would be gutted if i corrupt it mid game. lucky i noticed the size!

thanks for the reply WastelandAssasin.
