To many mods?

[saizetsu]

I was looking at my list and to be honest this is after I had been running 298 mods at a time. Still I'm hoping to cut it down further.

Just looking for personal opinions on what is and isn't cared for. 

 

I could likely merge several more of these mods to cut it down, warpaints and eye mods.

[Taskmaster]

Does your game even run well? That looks out of control.

 

How many of those mods do you actually use?

[germanicus]

if you will merge then using Tes5edit, you will save some space.

[Rayblue]

150-175 mods is acceptable, but seems that if you go over 254 mods active, instability problems will come out.

[germanicus]

Quote from Billy Mailman:

 

The absolute upper-limit is 253 total mods (some experts says -255). This only counts certain types of mods, though; specifically, ones that add a .esm or .esp file so they can change actual data in-game (i.e. not mods that simply change models or textures). This also does include the expansions, and any such mods downloaded through Steamworks rather than Nexus.

The reason for the limit is that Skyrim (and other Bethsoft games) uses an internal code (the Form IDs) for everything added by a mod. The first two hex digits indicate where this thing came from, with 00 being the base game, 01 being official patches to the base game, and FF being reserved for items created by player interaction (custom potions, items dropped in-world, summoned NPC refIDs, etc). This leaves only 253 prefixes for other mods, before the game simply cannot load up items from the mod.

Note, of course, that any given collection of 253 mods is likely to be impossible to run together anyway for reasons of mod conflicts or of your computer simply being unable to handle them all. 253 is just the absolute theoretical upper limit.

 

[saizetsu]

Actually I run at 198 mods currently, I started merging the hairs, weapons and armors. though the reproc and DSR hate me when I merge some like lost longswords into my merged weapons it claims to be missing masters. been wondering if i need the dsr and reproc stuff tbh.

 

And yes surprisingly my game runs stable.

 

I would like to merge more but the merge topic I've looked at doesn't cover some of the mods i have so I get iffy and don't want to take a chance with breaking things and having to restore. 

 

Skyre makes it hard to merge some mods because they don't have proper stats without some of the patches... but i can merge the things like lostlongswords skyre patch into the same merged file as lost longswords yeah?

 

It is difficult to merge things together that have MCMs' since I have to seperate their scripts. but is it possible to say merge all the fixes/patches together? save for those unofficial patches by arthmoor.

[Taskmaster]

The only things I'd consider merging personally are armors. Anything with scripts I wouldn't touch.

 

Interestingly, you have less active plugins than I do.

 

I 100% recommend creating a Bashed Patch with Wyre Bash. There might be some plugins you can uncheck and will merge into that patch and give you more room to work with. Those Bethesda Hi-Res textures, don't need the esp... at least I don't think so, my system can't handle it so I never installed them.

[saizetsu]

Well I can probably take out the Hi-res beth textures at this point since I've got the whole game(I believe) filled with custom textures and meshes for everything.

 

Well I've been iffy on a bashed patch I'e heard its pointless and that it is good so I've stayed undecided and everytime I deactivate mods in place of merged/bashed patches my reproccer and dsr patcher freak out and want me to either reactivate the mods or remove other patches that need the mods activated.

 

I've had some issues with two sets of the same sword mainly from lost long swords popping up where one set is weaker than others. perhaps I shuold merge all the weapon patches/fixes into one patch. But again I'm not sure if such fixes have scripts running.

[Taskmaster]

I don't know who told you Bashed Patches from Wyre Bash are useless... far from it. The bashed patch itself already takes care of a number of quality of life mods built in. You can adjust crime rates, timescale, arrow pick up, arrow speed, follower #s, summoning #s, active NPCs in a cell, just to name a few.

 

And then, the leveled lists is one of the biggest, as some mods that add items and creatures/NPCs into the world need to be merged together so all of them appear like they should. Otherwise, a particular mod could overwrite another's leveled list - where certain weapons/armor or NPCs should be spawning into your world, don't in place of another mod that's loaded after it and changes the same lists. The bash brings them all into the game instead of only the one lower in the load order.

[saizetsu]

also it looks like I can merge all the modules of skyre into a single merged esp as well. they don't have bsa files so the scripts must already be in the scripts folder.

 

im going to head on with merging the weapons remade and well all but immersive weapons/armors into esps as well looks like unique uniques is fine to merge as well. hope nothing borks on me i hate spending the hours to fix issues.

 

and actually while I'm at it, should I pull the mods esp files  out of the back ups area in order to make a new merged weapons/armor/etc or can i just merge it with the merged weapon/etc? 

[Taskmaster]

Well, you could just make backups of all the esps, merge them and see if your game plays well. If it doesn't, then just fall back on the backups. I've never merged esps with tes5edit or anything, never had to. Almost everytime I get 200+ esps, there's bound to be at least 10-15 I absolutely don't need or have yet to even use on a specific playthrough.

[27X]

skyre

 

not necessarily. All script based action and logic files that directly refer to SkyRe, yes.

 

Anything with externally sourced metadata (weapons, armors, races, especially those with their own scripts like modded Dawnbreaker or custom spells and the like )actually needs to be outside SkyRe and lower in the load order unless you're going to make a bashed patch.

 

*metadata refers to semipermanent data that will change but stay in a consistently referred-to field or record through external or internal means (leveling, smithing, enchanting, quest item that transforms, etc etc etc)

[saizetsu]

well skyre isn't wise to merge all it's parts into one it... freaked out and blew up my game. It didn't CTD so much as lock up the game and keep it locked on screen until i killed the process.

 

alas eyes don't merge well those are selectable and all but don't change the eyes you are stuck with skyrim esm eye files.

 

but since i've been merging plugins my fps has increased beyond what was normal for it in populated areas and I'm no longer getting scripting engine is running to slowly messages from frostfall.

 

but now im stumped I'm down to 180 mods but not sure which ones I can merge together beyond this.

[trekeyus]

im so glad I took the time to migrate away from nmm and migrated to mo as mo lets me handle some of the texture replacers etc without bloating my plugins list. Im currently running with 77ish active plugins in my list.

 

[saizetsu]

I don't have the time nor soon internet to learn MO. So I'm trying to stabilize my game before I lose my precious internet. Else I am stuck with a broken game to play =[

[Taskmaster]

Learning MO will save you time later down the road if you're going to continue modding Skyrim.

[Veladarius]

I run a large number of mods, usually around 250 esp/esm's with minimal issues though I tend to stay away from mods with a heavy amount of scripts that run constantly. You can merge most armors, weapons, hairs and other beauty mods just test ones with scripts to make sure they still work and don't cause errors. I have merged a number of hair packs as well as individual armor and weapons into sets to leave more space for other mods. Wrye Bash and the bashed patch is most useful for combining leveled lists from mods or merge mods that are just leveled list edits into the bashed patch so they don't overwrite each other.

[fangdowns]

I keep 2 load orders,  pre-sexlab and post sexlab install. The former consists of some 210 mods and the other very close to the limit.

I can say that my game is pretty stable around 16~20 FPS. And my graphic driver really sucks.

Here is my pre-sexlab.

I use a lot of TESVEdit merged patches(on armor mods & patches mostly).

I also use a loooot of paging files and realvision enb. 

Oh, and Rebirth monster could come later in the load order I guess. After SkyRe AI package.

You'll notice the difference when Dragon Priests are whopping ass like there's no tomorrow.

 

 

[saizetsu]

Well as I said, I lose internet... tomorrow actually so I do't have time to learn MO. Living in the backwater country. 

 

 

[Rayblue]

http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Mod_Organizer

 

Make a copy and save every page of it.

[saizetsu]

Yes a brilliant idea, up until I break it and have no way to ask anyone for help from here or elsewhere D:

 

I likely won't have web again for nearly half a year maybe more. 

[Alpia]

I have 331 mods installed and I luv :3 every single one of them I merged most of my armors in one file to get to 253 mods and skyrim works flawless.

So there is no to many mods

 

Skyrim is like a trash can if its full you just have to push harder to squeeze more stuff in

 

Linked my loadorder the mods which are disabled are merged I just left the data inside skyrim since it dosen't cause any problems so 253 active plugins 331 Installed diffrence is merged in Merged_Armor_Ultimate.esp and contains mostly armors.

 

I don't like mod organizer also before anyone comes up with it I don't see the point of messing my whole skyrim up just for diffrent lists what mods I want to load this time. I either load the mods or deinstall it I have no mods I would say no this time I don't need this and that and disable it I either use them or not no need for MO I really don't get the hype about that thing.

Edit: Even I'm sure that I could delete 30% of my mods since I don't use them, but why should I if everything works fine thats how I see it. Guess I'm a hoarder when it comes to mods. Also I'm quite sure its impossible to life without internet learning MO also saves nothing there is absolutly no need for it even if I save 5min. when I have to deinstall something I don't care.

Really the things that will limit how many mods you can run depends on the mods you have running and your game settings. Here are the things I looked at when I set my game up:

 

Settings: I turned off things like AA and such, good textures greatly reduce the need for this. Shadows can cause slowdowns as well, if everything is shadowed it will hit performance.

Textures: Use texture sized to suit your system, 4k textures are nice but most can't handle them for regular play. I use 1-2k for body and armors, 1k for landscape (possible smaller for some lod textures)

ENB: you can shut off Ambient Occlusion and DoF to reduce the graphics load and speed things up.

Scripts and Papyrus: First, make sure that you don't have constantly repeating errors in your logs, you may have to get rid of some mods if they are not set up correctly. Second is watch the number of mods that have scripts running and making adjustments to things every few seconds. There is a limit on how much papyrus can handle, if it gets overloaded it will start throwing away script processes that are waiting to be run.

 

Currently I run about 250 esp/esm's (including a number of sexlab mods), my resolution is 1920 x 1200 and I use an ENB and HDT Physics on an older i5 and AMD 7850 and get 40-60 fps indoors and out.

Can someone provide a link to a tutorial to merge .esps into a new one (like what ChasmX said s/he did for Merged_Armor_Ultimate.esp)?

 

I run a STEP install with many of the SexLab mods. I would love to see/create a STEP pack for SexLab step of instructions, but that's a wishlist. Right now I just want to combine my custom bodyslide BBP/TBBP armors into a single .esp and cut about 20 individual .esps out of my loadorder.

There you go mate http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Merging_Plugins read it carefully you can't merge everything and allways backup your stuff, but thats described in the tutorial anyway.
