Hello guys, I'm here making a new thread asking for your opinion.
I just finished with installing the mods I want to play in my next run. But I really dont know if i'm abusing too many heavy script mods. So far I think I dont.
The most script heavy mods I have (IMO), are Advanced Needs 2 + Agony, Crime and Punishment and Sim Settlements (All modules and expansions).

See my load order below:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

 

 

 

As there are scripted mods without .esp or .esl, below is a link with prints of my mods in vortex (by category):

I also made a bashed patch for leveled lists. Is that still a thing?

Can I bloat my save with my current load order? I'm totally aware not to install scripted mods mid-game, much less withdrawing them. If I install anything, it will be armors, weapons and content in general. Nothing that will break the game with scripts.

I'm still going to sort the load order better. Just wanted to post here to show you. I'm still choosing a loot manager mod, so it will be one more mod.

The game allocates ~70mb of memory when reading script properties so multiple script heavy mods will overwhelm & eventually bork your saves. HOWEVER there is a fairly recent solution for that.

Baka ScrapHeap a Script Memory Limit Expander

This plugin doubles that memory allocation to ~130mb with the option to expand even more.
With this, I haven't had any issues so with this, you can focus on making sure your game is as conflict free as possible.

Hello! i host the load order and performance page on the nexus. slightly out of date now but will be updated sometime soon for vortex users

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10844?tab=description

 

I concur, use baka scrap heap. You have many mods. Some of which i have never used myself or even heard of. Lots of scripts running i would say looking briefly at your mod list should not be too much of an issue.

However if your looking to avoid problems with FO4 and have it stable and running smooth. Load order is a priority. ( Do not trust vortex to sort load order correctly. it does not in many cases) Also make sure of the overwriting rules you have set for mod conflicts i have had a few occasions where the suggestions are incorrect

Also beware of one of the most popular fallout mods. The settlement mods... can destroy the framerates of the most powerful computers They are also heavily scripted

 

Also check for any bugs/conflicts and issues with mods you download by reading the posts on the mod page and make sure you have relevant patches.

 

Lastly i would say choose quality over quantity. Ask yourself, do i really need this mod? am i using it? does it effect my playthrough favorably?

 

A trimmed down load order can mean the difference of microstutter versus no microstutter. Lots of crashes versus the occasional or zero crashes.

 

Edit....heh just looked at your load order... it is all over the place lol. Ok am i correct that you use vortex?
