PC too bad for modding? Upgrade

Hi,

I had lots of crashes recently because my system had problems spawning the mods I use. So I want to upgrade my PC to get a lag free gameplay again. But what part should I upgrade?

My system is:

Windows 10
Graphics AMD Radeon (TM) RX 460 (graphics are really good)
Processor Intel R Core (TM) i5-6402P CPU 2,80 GHz (4 of them)
8 GB RAM

Probably your problem is not machine, i have i5 4460 with gtx 660, only a bit low yours, and have near 200 mod's with near cero prolems. But i have 16g of memory in Win 7. Maybe 8 g's ram for win 10 is a bit low. I think is the only thing that you must up because is cheap and easy for install.

 

I presume your entire machine is a bit old, like 3 year, like mine, but can handle games from past year, of course in low graphics with low resolution, normaly i play new games in 1440x900, but skyrim go in full hd 1920x1080, normaly from 60-50 fps, but some times down temporally to 40-30.

 

Maybe you can upgrade ONLY video card, but be sure your PSU can support it. Im thinking on buy a gtx 1060 for my machine.

Of course, you can change your machine, but buy a entire new, because re-use old components is not recomended. You need new CPU and normally that mean new motherboard and memory. Of course, new video card and normally this mean new PSU. Really only can save case, hard disk and dvd.

 

Talking about your skyrim i can recomend some things.

First google a bit and install the game stabilizers, if you not have it:

SKSE Memory Patch

Crash Fixes 12

ENB in Boost mode.

This 3 tools cover a lot of otimizations for the game and solve a lot of CTD.

 

Clean your save with ReSaver for discard bad things in savegame or start a NEW GAME.

 

Put your mod list and one papyrus.log for take a look.

It can handle graphic intense games like World of Tanks on nearly max settings without too bad fps, so it should be good enough

I use them.

My problems are for example non-changing dialogues (I have to save and reload to get the new ones) and most annoying crashing dragonsreach if I use Slaverun and want to enter the changed Dragonsreach (it's not a mod ctd, because I get the computer crashing sound) And that happens with a new game too.

This must be by bad order or mod incompatibility, un-updated mod or faulting compatibity patch's.

But im not expert in mod order and this site have hundreds of mod's, the combinations are infites.

 

The only recomendations that i can give is re-install XPMSE.

XPMSE must ovewrite all and none mod can overwrite XPMSE.

Disable Paradise Halls mod's, you have some, and try. I see some problems with Paradise Halls.

 

If problem persist, disabling half of your mod's and verify the problem. If persist continue disabling mod's. When disappear, start slowly enabling mod, 5 or 10 at time, until locate the problematic mod.

What problems? PAHE works fine as far as I can tell.

The problem is not the mod PAHE, at self, is the combinations of mod's and the relations between them.

I not know if the problem is directly related to PAHE, but can be. Is one of the things that you must verify.

 

You say have problem with Slaverun and is a slave mod, like PAHE, and like others. I think can be a collision in the slaves dialog. And the CTD can be for another collision with mod's that change the Dragonsreach, maybe puting npc's or objetcs.

Skyrim and ENB bottleneck at a certain point so upgrading will do very little for you.

 

For Skyrim, your PC is high spec.

 

If you CTD it's likely a mod or ENB or Skyrim settings. Unless you're getting a blue screen or some popup about unable to reach rendering device it's not your hardware.

 

As far as I know, unless you are asking ENB well too much then you should never/rarely CTD because of lack of resources (unless you put in an ini for it to use more than you have).

 

In my sig there is a link to my blog on how I fixed 99% of my CTDs out of that it was all bad ENB setting or not having all the requirements installed for a mod.
