LE Mod Skyrim to load a larger number of objects and HD textures?

[grunt11]

Hi, recently I've been obsessively modding my Skyrim after getting a GTX 680 FTW 4gb card and now I've run into a problem: My computer can handle all of the HD texture mods and objects just fine (I run Skyrim at ugrids=7) but Skyrim itself is starting to have problems because it can't seem to handle any more HD textures or objects (I tried in vain to load Skyrim Distance Overhaul http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19446 and got hanging load screens every time unless I lowered my ugrids to 5, which caused annoying texture pop-ins). If I try to add more objects or textures or increase my ugrids I get hanging load screens every time, so I was wondering if anyone out there could make a mod that allowed Skyrim to be able to load more stuff if your computer can handle it (if that's even possible). Thanks!

I don't believe it's possible. Quoted from pinned "Only you can prevent forest fires" in Skyrim Troubleshooting:

Skyrim includes the Large Address Aware patch (LAA or 4Gig patch) that allows it to use UP TO 4Gigs of system ram. Currently there is NO WAY to make it use more even if you do have a 64 bit system with lots of RAM.

 

I shall now direct to you back to bben46 (for when one "b" just isn't enough):

 

No matter how much ram you have, Skyrim is still a 32 bit program and can only use a maximum of 4Gig of that ram. This is not something that you can fix. Running a 64 bit system just allows the Windows and other background stuff to load outside of the 4Gig maximum used by the game. Even with a 64 bit Windows, if you have 4Gig of ram or less, you will not be able to use all of it for the game. If you have a 32 bit system then the system itself is limited to 4Gig max, and part of that will be used by windows and background programs. - again, nothing you can fix. Even if you have a million dollar Cray supercomputer with 256 Gig of ram - Skyrim is still limited to 4 Gig ram max. And when that 4Gig is used up - you will crash.

If you are running too many mods, whether it be a million small mods or five big mods, you will at some point reach this critical mod mass. It does not have anything to do with the memory and-or awesomeness of your computer. I am running on 16 GB and even I can't exceed this 4GB limit. And yes, this can even be due to having too many textures (see # 7 below).
