Skyrim scripts (I think) are running very slow?

[JoacoAV]

Hi! My name is Joaco, nice to meet you all.

This is my first time posting in this forum. I've never needed to because thankfully I could always find the solution to any mod-related problem I've encountered so far, but that's not the case this time.

 

I think the problem with my game is many of my scripts, vanilla or mod, are taking a lot of time to run. Many events in the game take 20-30 seconds to update and occur.

 

Some examples include:

• Simply Knock: When I knock on someone's door and pass the persuasion dialoge, it takes about 20 seconds for them to unlock the door.
• Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul: I'm not sure if this is specifically from CACO, but sometimes when I brew some potions, they're not immediatly added to my inventory, but rather they are added some time later after finishing using the Alchemy Lab.
• Go To Bed: When activating a bed, it works fine. The character gets in the bed, the sleep menu pops up and I sleep, no problem. But after sleeping the character doesn't get up, again, after about 20 seconds. You're supposed to get up using the movement keys, so at first I thought it was bugged.

That wasn't so bad, I could handle it, but here's when it really started to annoy me:

• All Word Walls take about 20-30 seconds to teach me their words.
• I retrieved the Horn of Jurgen Wind Windcaller to High Hrothgar, and the Greybeards positioned themselves to begin their Greeting. And again, it took about 30 seconds for them to start their Greeting.
• When Alduin resurrected Sahlokniir at Kynesgrove, he got out of the ground with his flesh and skin already on. Then, after speaking to Alduin, he immediatly became skeletal. Alduin left and the objective "Kill Sahlokniir" popped, but this skeletal Sahlokniir didn't have an AI and was unable to be damaged. He just stood on the ground looking at Delphine, who was slashing her sword at him, to no avail. Not even by the "kill" console command could do, so the mission got softlocked. I reloaded a previous save near Kynesgrove and tried again, and this time Sahlokniir functioned as intended and I was able to kill him. The only worrying things were that Alduin didn't leave this time and stayed to watch the whole fight, and Delphine didn't say her dialogue of "Gods above!" at the end, but still started Diplomatic Immunity after speaking to her.

At this point it became clear to me that this playthrough would be almost unplayable, so I did some research to try and solve these issues.

I learned about the Save-Game Script Cleaner, downloaded it and used both "FixScriptInstances" and "Delete all #", but that only deleted 15 scripts. The other options didn't change anything. I noticed I have a lot of scripts (6115), and a HELL of a lot of active scripts (39134). Also almost all of them (not sure, I didn't check every single one) have NULL variables, something like:

 

ID: 000XXXXX (Hex numbers, not actual X's)

var: null: 00000000

Uint8: 00

Uint8: 00

Uint8: 00

Functions: 0

I don't know if this is intended, couldn't find any information/solution to this. I believe it's the main cause of my problems but I'm not sure. This is the first time I had to deal with scripts.

 

 

 

 

 

This problem only occurred on my latest playtrough, and the only difference between it and my previous playthough is that I installed a handful of mods before starting, specifically Ordinator, Imperious, Apocalypse, Wintersun, Summermist and Andromeda (all from EnaiSiaion), and mid playthrough I replaced Immersive Beds with Go To Bed because I've heard the second one was better. I suspected this could be the cause of the problem, but EnaiSiaion says all of their mods are not script-heavy, so I discarded it.

I always try to make sure I install all my mods correctly. I read compatibility issues and sort with LOOT every time I install a new mod. I know LOOT isn't perfect, and I do make manual changes when I spot load problems.

I should also mention that I've learned about LOOT not too long ago, and until then I've been manually sorting only the most evident of compatibility-conflicting mods.

I use Mod Organizer 2, and every time I started a new playthrough I just selected the mods that I wanted and started playing.

 

I own a Steam copy of Skyrim LE (all DLCs) version 1.9.32.0, and it's located in the default Steam folder (steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim).

I've always used Mod Organizer 2 version 2.2.1, and SKSE version 0.1.7.3.

As I've mentioned before, I do use LOOT, and I also use Tes5Edit to clean mods.

 

 

I will now post my PC specs and modlist. I want to thank everyone who took some time out of their day to read my post. Any help is appreciated!
