gman14 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Hi guys, I just wanted to get clarification regarding save file bloating since it kinda made me a little paranoid. I've been playing the game for about 17 hours with a level 21 character now and running a couple of mods with a save file currently 5.6mb in size after getting the house in Markarth. I checked an earlier save which was 5.4mb in size. This was before I went to Markarth to get the quests required to own a house there. Is the 200kb increase normal with the mods I currently run and not a sign of bloating? I know that save files will increase over time the more you discover new areas, kill enemies and etc. But I just wanted to make sure. I'm using the unofficial patches, a couple of SexLab mods, Schlongs of Skyrim, and mostly weapon, armor, and hair mods. Also have one active follower mod, a custom race, and Race Menu. In regards to DLCs, I only have Hearthfire activated at the moment but will activate Dawnguard and Dragonborn when I go further or probably until I finish the main quest. I just mentioned these details since I know they can also contribute to the save file increase. Here's my load order by the way if that can help. I used BOSS to organize the load order but tweaked some that were unrecognized(it was a weapon mod as i recall). Exported the load order with NMM and just erased the inactive mods from the list since they were included in the export.

dashipper Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 If it's only 200 kb increase I'd say it's nothing to worry about. For me, at least, that's a reasonable change from one save to the next.
