SSE dropping to 1 fps

[MrShukie]

Skyrim Special Edition keeps dropping to about 1 fps this seems to happen most often when i'm talking to npcs, especially Delphine, this occurs every time I'm talking to Delphine (at least when in her inn). It also occurs in other places, the ones I remember are, when talking to Inigo, and inside of the Soul Cairn. Fast traveling, leaving the instance, or closing/restarting gets rid of this for a bit and then it happens again. I've tried fixing this by lowering my settings, using a graphics optimizer, and making sure my gpu's drivers are up to date. Nothing has worked. I am assuming this lag is caused by a mod I've loaded up Special Edition without mods and have been unable to replicate it.

Pc specs: AMD Ryzen 5 2600, Gtx 1660, 16gb ddr4, fulling updated windows 10, and a 500gb ssd. My temps run below 50 degrees C when playing on ultra settings.

Mod list: (I use Vortex and LOOT, and yes skse is installed correctly)

Thank you in advance.

2 things I see that have caused problems for me.

 

A) Hair Physics - can cause major hits on performance.

B) SMP ( surface mesh physics ) can also cause major hits on performance.

 

Have personally given up trying to run hair physics It just causes too many problems on my older Dell.

 

Can run SMP on a main character without any noticeable problems.

 

Most other tutorials recommend only running SMP and or Hair Physics on your main character.

 

The game-bro engine can really struggle with the additional physics load added on top of everything else its trying to do.

 

Changing the SMP and Physics related mods to basic static versions would be one path to explore for

improving performance.

Thank you! I disabled my physics mods and stopped getting the lag.

Update: by reinstalling all my physics mods I was able to get rid of the lag but keep the physics. Thanks again, I had been searching for a solution to this for over a week.
