Help with cleaning Firefly script instances on converted vanilla save file

[belegost]

I have recently dug up an old save file, originating from one of my original, ancient Oldrim playthroughs on X360, which I have converted several years back from Xbox 360 format to PC with a  method I can't remember now, to be used with Skyrim LE, which ultimately I never did.

 

Just for shits and giggles I decided to load it into my current heavily-modded SE installation, fully expecting it to crash and burn. To my surprise it loaded fine and quite quickly for that matter, with all the mods properly initialising and installing as if I had just started a new game in a LAL cell. Even Ordinator played nicely and after some 2 minutes refunded over 90+ perk points to my character. Looking at the character and seeing how ugly vanilla she was, compared to totally overhauled Serana who accompanied her, it turned out to be a level 94 wood elf female with over 320 hours playtime, having finished the main quest, the Dawnguard storyline and currently being stranded somewhere in the middle of Solstheim.

 

Anyway, after faffing about for 5 minutes with inventory, looking through quest log and feeling completely lost I quit and decided to fire it up in ReSaver to see if there are any problems. It came up with the following message:

 

Potential problems were identified

There are 100 stacks and 193 frames, which may indicate a problem.
Firefly occurs the most often (156 occurrences)

 

I clicked on it and received the following:

 

SCRIPT Firefly extends Critter
Contains 90 member variables, 72 were inherited.
There are 235 instances of this script.

 

Now, I am not a modder, I have no idea about scripting and I don't know the significance of this message, but from my limited knowledge I assume so many running scripts, even if vanilla, is not good. I did some quick googling but it would not come up with anything helpful, however I would like to clean this save file. While it would probably work as is, I'd be constantly haunted by a thought that somewhere in there something is not right, and I would like to continue her adventures after probably something like 6 or 7 years since I last played this character.

Sadly I don't have the original X360 save file anymore, since it went down when the console was bricked, so I can't attempt another conversion if I wanted to.

 

So how do I go about cleaning this script instance? Do I even want to or can I leave it be? Can I just delete it in ReSaver and be done with it? If not, what tool do I use? What do I need to look for?

 

The save file is attached if you want to look through it yourself or want to use this character. Since it was originally converted for Skyrim LE, it should work for both Oldrim and SE and if you want, you are free to use it for your own means if you'd like to continue her adventures yourself. The uncompressed file weights ~13.5 MB.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oddly enough, when I opened your file using fallrim tools, I received no complaints or any report. IDK if it's because we don't have the same mods list or what, but there it is. 

 

In any case, you can always purge whatever you feel like (and can purge using the tool), save to a new file name, and give it a try. If it works, great, if not, delete the file and walk away or keep on trying other things.

Tones of Firefly, critters scripts? Thats a vannila bug that has been fixed in Unofficial Skyim Patch since forever.

Bug in vannila is, that those scripts can get stuck and neverever shut down.

 

New game with Unofficial patch should have no problem(as long as something doesn't override patched scripts). Dunno about old save.

 

Scripts involved are named Firefly and Critter. pex for compiled version and psc extension for source.

 

If you ask me, you should not have firefily.pex and critter.pex in scripts folder. Scripts from USSEP (they are inside .bsa) should kick in.

 

Kill those scripts with ReSaver? I'd make a backup. Then go into a place(indoors) with next to nothing inside. wait a couple of mins, make a new save, and experiment with that new save file.
