Very long save times due to "Serialized transforms" [Fixed]

[Johnnyone]

Hi,

I have a problem where it takes 44 seconds for me to save the game. Quicksaves are disabled and only normal saves are done. I checked the skee64 log and found this:

[2026-05-14 21:32:01.717] [logger] [info] Saving...
[2026-05-14 21:32:01.719] [logger] [debug] SKEE64Serialization_Save - Serialized string table 2ms

[2026-05-14 21:32:47.089] [logger] [debug] SKEE64Serialization_Save - Serialized item data 0ms

I couldn't find anything for meaningfull for "Serialized transforms", except that it has to do something with XPMSE and Racemenu? It stores data from NPC's without deleting them and it accumulates over time.

So how do I tackle that? I use the Mod "NPC Body Scale Randomizer [Villianize Edit] [CBBE/3BBB/3BA]" which is great, but my guess is that, over time, it causes XPMSE/Racemenu to bloat up my savegame?

You can try this.  Backup your saves first, etc.

On SE/AE you have this: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/163969

 

Cuts down saving times for long-going saves from several dozen seconds to miliseconds. May or may not be relevant to you.

Thanks bois.

I used the one belegost suggested, because it looks more up to date. Works like a charm so far.
