Anyway to make game load faster with tons of mods (dumb question i know)

[Deleted48339873User]

day after day, the first time someone use the game with mods, is always to be slow. i don't use f4se because it destroy the game at many ways / crash the game / saves don't load and more. try not to use many mods, no more than 230 and always use a good mod manager / nexus community version

 

Also use every day a good defrag program. i use ultradefrag

Hiya Naioxmi!

So far, some good advice. I did just want to mention tho, that if somebody is using a Solid State Drive, defragging it is not a good idea. I can cause the drive to overheat. Also that a lot of SSD drives their defrags are handled internally, via built in software. ;)

Thanks for pitching in tho! :)

Yeah, do NOT defrag your solid state drives. You will destroy them. (and it won't work anyway......)

 

FOSE does not crash your game, or cause any other trouble. I have used the script extenders since morrowind. (and I used TWO in morrowind) and have not had issues with corrupted saves, crash happy games, or the like. Poorly written mods, or bad save habits, however, CAN and WILL cause you trouble.

Bad save habits? (absolutely no sarcasm or snark here) Please enlighten me brother, so as to expand upon my knowledge.

Are you referring to quick saves over fast saves?

Using quicksaves/autosaves. (beth has been notorious for these getting easily corrupted since morrowind. One of the reasons they came up with the "rotating autosaves" system you find in FO4.) Overwriting existing saves is another no-no. Technically, it should work fine, in reality, it also leads to save corruption. I only make NEW saves. I don't use quicksaves at all, and I try and avoid having to use autosaves. (like, when I die and haven't made a hard save for a while.....) I will occasionally clean out my saves folder as well, and leave the last three or so saves, (and the fose companion files) as the game doesn't like large numbers of files there either......

 

I can't remember the last time I had a problem with a save file getting corrupted.

Amen (again) brother!

 

Running defrag sw on SSDs is the epitome of stupidity, and a properly configured operating system will ignore the system calls from a defrag app.

HDDs, electro mechanical based storage devices are vastly different from solid state electronics (we know it, but bring forth the word, advise others :) )

Could not agree more.......

Agree (sorry for the spam, kind of playing catch-up here, or was it ketchup), I do the exact same thing.

Haven't had a problem with saves like .....ever.

Ahhhh, gotcha gotcha. Ok, yeah...I know what you're saying and I agree with you completely. I've been known to do a quick save now and then, mostly just when I know I'm about to do something that I don't want in my savegame that I want to go back and undo afterwards but for the most part, most of mine are manual saves.

I backup my save games about once every week or so (depending on how often I get to play) and usually delete out a bunch of them while doing so.

I agree totally. Bethesda has NOT figured out how to make this, or any of their other games based off this engine, save with any kind of reliability for well over a decade.
