Jebbalon Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 With over 2000 hours playing Skyrim (according to Steam) I learned many things and experienced many issues that I've seen others have on this forum. Thanks to the community for the help even if you didn't know you were a help. 1 - CTD's are most often an issue related to the graphics card memory being overloaded. Check your VRAM and if under 1G think twice about all the high resolution textures your mods are loading. Lots of mods have medium or low res options. 2 - Hanging in Skyrim I learned can be an overload issue as well. Not with textures or VRAM however. The overload occurs in the scripting system known as Papyrus. If you have mods that add scripts to the game (which many of them do) have a look at this CK pagehttp://www.creationkit.com/INI_Settings_(Papyrus)and try changing the times and memory allocations. Basically the default settings are not enough to run even a few heavily scripted mods. 3 - The load order issue - I have learned much about this. In order of my usage for skyrim: Steam Workshop, Nexus Mod Manager, BOSS, Wrye Bash, Mod Organizer. All very good tools that I used for managing my mods in Skyrim. More than just using them I learned how the load order worked. I now use Mod Organizer exclusively. No BOSS ordering which only alters esps not install order or bsa order. No Bash patch. No unknown file structure in NMM. Mod Organizer does things... different. Check it out, learn it, use it. It's fun to play around with mods and learn new stuff. Skyrim is fun too! -Jebbalon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
