drewmeister11 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I've jumped back into Skyrim recently, but I'm getting annoyed by how my game will randomly freeze up for a few seconds. I'm fairly certain this is a mod problem, since it never really happened to me (that i can remember) on my first, modless play through. However, after spending several hours uninstalling mods, I still have about 140 installed. Is that considered a lot to most people? I know the limit is 250. What would be a good amount of mods to have installed? I'm already limited to the ones I really want to use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noweha Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It really depends on your computer. I use Hi Algo boost to help speed up my game a lot with the mods I have, maybe try that before you start deleting things if you don't already have it?

drewmeister11 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) It really depends on your computer. I use Hi Algo boost to help speed up my game a lot with the mods I have, maybe try that before you start deleting things if you don't already have it? I tried that once, made my game look like crap... it's not a problem with being in combat or moving, I'll step out of my house in whiterun and try to move and the game seizes up. Combat is oddly enough when my game runs at it's smoothest. Also, with the exception of my CPU, I'm meeting all the recommended settings for the game. CPU is a quad core 2.6 GHz, though. Could stand to update it, but I don't think it's that horrifyingly out of date. Edited February 4, 2013 by drewmeister11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noweha Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's not what I thought, then. I thought you had the regular "fine until combat" lag that happens all to much with Skyrim. Has you tried enabling Papyrus logs and looking at their contents? One of your mods may be hanging and causing issues for a while before the game resolves it and you can continue playing. I'm not at my home computer right now, so I can't give you a link or anything, but try google searching "enable Papyrus logs", follow the instructions, run the game and have the issues happen while the Papyrus logs are enabled (until the hang, during the hang, and for maybe a real life minute or two after the hang) and then shut the game down and take a look at the log to see if there are any recurring errors. Additionally, what are your system specs? I'm not knowledgeable about computer parts but if someone else comes along and sees this thread they may have an answer for you. I know that you said this is about mods, but I know that my card can't handle certain graphical things (usually lights and shadows) that are caused by mods, such as a mod adding lights from a house window or making a street lamp cast a different shadow.
