Shubal Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I have ghosts in my saves I suspect. When I try to leave the dungeon I am in now, I go into and endless load window. This is my first time in Skyrim, I'm around level 23 and feel I have a grasp on what is happening now. Modding has been a perplexing delight. The learning curve has been steep for an untutored wretch like myself. But I have managed to get most things up and running in the end. I know now that I have been sloppy and I have been adding and dumping mods willy nilly. I read all their info and follow the instructions as best I can. So I'm thinking of starting a new game with a new character and more observation of modding guide lines. I have been reading the S.T.E.P. program and will try to model that set up in terms of order. I have an SSD that is not installed yet but how it should be used is all over the map. STEP says put Skyrim on SSD and OS on the hard drive which seems counter intuitive, others say put the OS and game on the SSD and yet others say that will slow things down so .....WTF? I've read that Skyrim shouldn't be installed in Programs, 86, yet that is where steam puts it........WTF? So where should it go? I've had no problems in Programs 86 as far as I can tell. When I look in the Skyrim folder where the Data folder is , it is awash with pictures, readmes and things seemingly unrelated to files other than exes bsas esps and esms, can/should I dump those? Tonight I noticed the folder of a mod I deleted with NMM some time ago, but there it was, still. And more than once NMM has not placed files as it should. Should everything be downloaded manually to be safe? I guess what I'm looking for is a tutorial or something on the basic issues in modding and a glossary of terms. And if I can end on a whine, forgive me, In BOSS I see a number of my mods have "dirty edits" with an invitation to clean them up with the appropriate tools. But to me the logical thing would be that the mod author (or some one capable) clean them and present a clean file for download rather than have thousands of variably skilled users try to reinvent the wheel on their own.

Zalman1337 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I've been using an SSD for my OS and programs for over a year without any serious problems (that couldn't be solved by updating the firmware). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodinfested Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I read some articles talking about ssd and I cant recall the link off hand its been sometime but from what I recall ssd are not bad overall speed wise. The normal high rpm hard drive like a raptor for example will be a hair faster if your doing one thing with it like gaming - the ssd shines when your multitasking.Have you installed and uninstalled a bunch of mods in your save game file it can corrupt your save file depending on the mods? The dirty edits are easy to clean heres a link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
