VisibleBear Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I have to run Skyrim on low graphics in order for it to run smoothly (although I can run it on medium with a little lag or high with moderate lag). I was wondering if I can have too many mods active, so many that it will drastically slow down my fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rennn Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) It depends on the mod. Mods like Wars in Skyrim or mods that add a lot of people wandering around can easily decrease framerates. Likewise, graphics mods like ENB or HD textures can cause severe performance decreases. However, most mods will not affect performance much if at all. Body mods like UNP or CBBE can decrease performance in areas where there are a lot of people, like towns, simply because the new bodies use higher resolution textures and higher detail models, but even the hit from that is minor because people are such a small part of the overall landscape. If you have over a certain number of mods active, I think it's 256, then you'll see strange problems. Below that, it's the specific kinds of mods that affect performance, not their quantity.

VisibleBear Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Okay, thanks! I'm good for now then, I only have 6, and no high-resolution ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
