Why does it take to long to load my save?

[GenaTrius]

Ever since I got Wrye Bash up and running to deal with the massive number of mods I have, I've had this horrible trouble with loading times. Loading into new areas is nice and snappy, but initially loading a save file, loading from death, and loading a save in game all take absurdly long. It can take anywhere between three and five minutes to load a save! I adore this game, but this is a bit much.

Sometimes the roulette wheel keeps spinning and new screens keep loading, but often Windows decides that New Vegas is non-responsive. If I wait for it, it always comes up, but it always takes the same amount of time.

My save file is about 13000 KB large, which doesn't seem too big compared to my other ones. My load order is as follows:

I wouldn't say this is unusual at my friend, but what does help is a very clean merged patch. Whilst the best method for making one is Wrye, one still has to manually patch their game in order to achieve perfection (well it's never perfect, but perfect is really just a point of view).

 

From experience, I was able to decrease loading times in saves by manually patching my game, which was an effort indeed. However you will always get longer load times from an in game load or death load, due to the previous game having to be unloaded in most cases. It's a problem if it doesn't unload the last game and on occasion, this seems to happen.

 

At a glance also, I see your using many conflicting mods that would definitely require manual patching. And the LO isn't fabulous either. I give you one example offthe bat, if you open up FNVedit and look under Ingestibles in bashed patch, have a look and see how bad PN and IMCN are conflicting. Whilst IMCN will have dominance, your still putting that extra strain on the game. Sometimes sacrifice is in order when there are no dedicated patches available, unless of course you want to get to manually doing it yourself.

 

And that about sums it up. PM me if you need to know more.
