Suffering from Slow Scripts (and CTDs)

[Kohdi]

Thanks for the replies, it's looking like SkyBirds will be a good mod to test without. A pity, as I've grown pretty fond of it. I'm also seriously considering starting a new game, but I'll do everything I can to this one before making the move.

 

As for dirty edits in mods, I meant what I said before about my own being clean, each have been gone over in TESVedit and are as good as they come. SkyBirds mentions that its dirty edits are necessary to how it operates, so that one's supposedly safe as well (see above, of course).

 

I'll also look into that link between FNIS and AP, though I use them so seldom (I know how that must sound, but it's the truth) that their effect would be minimal if anything.

 

With all respect, gamefever, I enjoy playing Skyrim both for the visuals and for the interactive story and mechanics, and because of the differences in troubleshooting/compatibility I recognize that it will sometimes be difficult to reconcile the two. I will not, however, limit myself because one problem has got me down.

 

I'll be away from Skyrim for the next few days, but I'll take this advice into account when I can get back to business and report my results.

Really? I wonder why the author hasn't informed the BOSS team. The only reason I can think of that it would need to retain duplicate to master entries is if the mod depends on certain default game settings that it does not want other conflicting mods to override and alter, but then if a mod with those conflicting records is loading after SkyBird, then it's basically pointless unless there's a compatibility patch with those settings loading near or at the end of the load order (there's absolutely no reason to not undelete/disable deleted references though, if that is what triggers the BOSS message for SkyBird about 'dirty edits'). I don't have SkyBirds any more, so I can't check, but steve40 hangs out in these forums, so maybe he can drop by and shed some insight.
