LE Ease of working with save games.

[Fuzzypandas]

I tried search for something like this, but I think kind of like Sky UI that it would be a great idea to overhaul the save system. I'm fairly new here so I'm not too sure of the limits of the modding tool, but I really think it would make it more convenient to have a way to separate between different saves. So say you have one save that is a thief stealth type character, and have it be separate from your warrior or mage or whatever else saves.

 

Other ways of using this is you could separate it in the same character for ones that have mods and ones that don't so that its easier to recognize the save instead of having to look at the image to see if its the right save or not. Ways of doing this would be character slots you can make and then give like 5 save states for that character or possibly giving the ability to name the saves instead of save 100. This would really help with not accidentally saving over games that you actually do want and thus losing them forever.

I wish saves could be organized based on the character you're using. I.E. you load your character name and the saves you load or create are ONLY for that character. If you want to play another character you load another character profile. It's one more step when starting the game, or if you wanted to switch characters, but it would be nice to have.

 

But I don't use SkyUI, so it wouldn't do me much good unless it was in a separate mod.

You could try a save manager, though I've had bad luck with one that hated me for not being able to find my steam folder =/ (it gave a bunch of errors and when I removed it, it took my save folder with it... yay for Restore Previous Version!)

They'll let you choose the character to play before loading Skyrim and only have the saves you selected show.
