Which of my mods cause bloating?

[hedevil24]

I have started from save downloaded from nexus (4,5mb) first save increase size to 5,5mb.Next saves increase in size 20-80kb.Now is 6,3mb.This is normal?I played only hour go to Falkenrath,Riverwood and some places between.

 

I've this too, so it's fine? 20-80 kb per save? I've unistalled the enhanced blood textures because its a mod who is using a lot of scripts.

And when your save is over 10 mb then its bloated?.

 

Thanks for the help

And: "when it bloat you will know" so if it increases 300-600 kb with a save then its bloating? or if your save is over 10 mb ?

 

Thanks for the help

 

sorry for this second post.

Like I said anything under 15mb is normal, perhaps a little over too. If it starts bloating you will see a massive increase in mbs, 300-600kb seems reasonable for a couple of hours play time.

Ok, My savegame is now. 7212 kb. I've only done a few jobs for the companions and Bleak falls barrow. I think that's still to much. So I deactivated Dawnguard and my savegame went to 6892 kb. So can it be dawnguard? and is there a fix for?

Mods and addons will cause bloat in saves,no way around it.It has to save all info about everything in world changed,like taking a plate,or moving a cart,killing horse,etc.Mine is 13M with only official DLCs,and I've done alot of quests,actually on dawnguard missions now.If yu stand around a few days(3-4),and do nothing,and save it should drop the size,cause places reset and don't need the info on changed things,since the areas reset(like in shops or homes you rob).

@Hedevil24 what is your mods list?

7212 kb »» 6892 kb, it's peanuts and almost the same^^, Dawnguard is THE game what is going to make your save increase is the mods you use

a save bloat is when you are lvl 30 with 100 mods and your save is about 30mb, this is bloating

BTW, i have a char lvl 36 with 60 mods installed and the main DG quest finished, his save are about 9200 kb, on the same profile, i have another one lvl 17 who did mostly like yours and his save are 4400 kb with the same mods for exemple i have ton of textures, player houses etc..

none ;)

you have a standard set of mods, may be 1 or 2 of the scripted mods make your save bigger but nothing important, i've had a playtrought similar and at the end all my saves was around 18mb each and no problem.

So I can player further with my character without fear that I will get those lagspikes around 15 mb.?

You can test is the only way to know if it'll keep doing it.Have you defragged your system lately?Is anything running in background like antivirus stuff.Make sure background defrag is off.I know someone had an issue with another game,and it ended up being an ACER app that was scanning and encrypting things.Make sure you don't have your autosaves too low,mine is fAutosaveEveryXMins=60.0000 .Also,with a 1G videocard,some of the view distance enhancers and extreme high res textures might be causing some of it.Did you ever change uGrids?Cause if you raised em that can make it have lag spikes.
