johnny2by4 Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 i'm running a lot of mods. lots of script intense mods (asis, sexlab mods, a few others) lots of texture overhauls (smim, realistic skyrim overhaul, others), and lots of mods that add npc's (interesting/inconsequential npc, expanded towns and cities). i'm noticing that lots of lag around cities and villages, specifically when i look at the cities and villages. my best guess is that it isn't a script problem but a texture problem, maybe to much stuff trying to load at once. does this sound right?
Versh Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 It is normal... you cannot put all the graphics overhaul and heavy scripted mod all at once, you should made some choice related at your system performance...

Yes it does. Especially ETaC, it's a resource hog (while not adding much interesting stuff IMO), and depending on your CPU, a heavily scripted game can put it down on its knees.
gvman3670 Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 With expanded cities and lots more NPCs added you have a LOT of scripts firing. A LOT. For example, running SoS and SexLab Aroused alone means ALL those extra NPCs (in the grids you have loaded) have to be processed by those mods. That is a heavier papyrus load than you need. But then throw is ASIS and such and there even more scripts firing. Sure, we need some of those things to make the SL mods work well, but when you make your game run scripts on lots of extra NPCs you're going to be bogging down even the best of processors.
johnny2by4 Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 my system isn't to bad, i5 2500k and a gtx 770. found that reducing smim a bit (choosing all the lower poly and half resolution options) has helped a bit. might try uninstalling dawn of skyrim since it wont screw over my save, don't really want to mess with etac unless i absolutely have to (plus i'm not really sure what rebuilding a merged plugin patch will do mid save, i'd guess nothing good).
Dubhorizon Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Try using one mountain mod that gives a few more fps, reduce distance and grass density a bit. Are you using an ENB? they can be graphically demanding, maybe choose a performance version. I recommend Naturalistic ENB.
johnny2by4 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 i just use ENBoost, never really given many ENB's a chance but i might try the one you suggested. one mountain looks useful, i'll try it out though i'm wondering how it will work with my setup. for reducing distance, by chance do you have any suggestions to do so through the ini files? i've made a couple tweaks that i think helped but i'm not really sure.
Rayblue Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 From experience, both very-high resolution textures (anything that's over DXT5 and 2k) and high-poly meshes will consume resources and performance. Even custom followers with HD textures will cause some FPS lag. Of course some mods with lots of hand-placed objects will also tax your system. Asides from the processor and GPU, I'd like to hear about the full specs of your PC -- I hope it's a desktop and not a laptop (of course, those things can't handle much).
Dubhorizon Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 If you only use ENboost on a GTX770 it's very strange you have noticeable fps drops. Maybe it's textures filling up your graphics card memory too fast like Rayblue mentions, in which case a tool like http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801/? will help.

bradleyh Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 For most of the recent ENBs', and ENBoost to work You need to set bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 in Your SkyrimPrefs.ini All ENBoost does is remove V-RAM from counting towards the 3.1GB limit Skyrim has. ENB's make the Game look better, but often come with a Performance hit.

Rayblue Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 ReservedMemorySizeMb=64 VideoMemorySizeMb= You're lacking the figures needed for ENBoost to work. There's a lot of formulae to compute for how much memory you need, but for me I use these: ReservedMemorySizeMb=512 Can be adjusted between 128mb to around 10gb according to how much is needed (your mileage may vary), but I felt 512mb is enough for 8gb of system memory. VideoMemorySizeMb=896 (the total amount of GPU video memory - 128) This 128 represents a reserve amount intended for Windows, such as the Aero theme.
Dubhorizon Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 What Rayblue said about setting the enboost and optimizer textures tool and you should be ok. if not go to in-game settings and put actor,object and item distance a little lower. Even on half they still load very far in the distance. Also set iShadowMapResolution =2048 instead to gain even more fps.

Even on half they still load very far in the distance. Also set iShadowMapResolution =2048 instead to gain even more fps. will give the tweaks suggested a try and if all else fails i'll try the texture optimizer, though i'm wondering how well that will work since i'm using MO at the moment. if i run it through MO will it just make compressed copies of my textures and dump them into overwrite, or will it compress the original copies?
Kendo 2 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 I had a serious problem with lag in both Whiterun and Markarth. One moment everything was running smoothly and the next I had serious lag. No new mods, no new scripts, it was like the game just gave up on me. I know this sounds dumb and basic but it did fix the lag for me: I turned off my PC, waited about 5 minutes, physically removed the memory and then plugged them back in. At start up I put Steam into Off Line Mode and now the game runs fine.

There is no problems with the tool and MO. it will not throw anything in the overwrites, it will replace each and every individual texture with it's optimized one and then will back up the original textures in a zip file.
D_ManXX2 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 What does these settings do ?? iNumHWThreads=4 iHWThread6=5 iHWThread5=5 iHWThread4=5 iHWThread3=4 iHWThread2=4 iHWThread1=4 What are they good for ?? i only have 4 core CPU i see you use 6 threads but still have them use different threads ?? Rayblue can you explain this part some more ?? ReservedMemorySizeMb=64VideoMemorySizeMb=You're lacking the figures needed for ENBoost to work. There's a lot of formulae to compute for how much memory you need, but for me I use these:ReservedMemorySizeMb=512Can be adjusted between 128mb to around 10gb according to how much is needed (your mileage may vary), but I felt 512mb is enough for 8gb of system memory.VideoMemorySizeMb=896 (the total amount of GPU video memory - 128)This 128 represents a reserve amount intended for Windows, such as the Aero theme. Let say my total pc memory is 4 gig and my video card has onboard of 2700 MB How does the ENB settings looks for me minus the reserved part ??
WoodGolem Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Johnny, I had the exact same problem. It was especially bad in Riften when I was looking at the marketplace: The game would always go into slow-motion. However, I just found a fix for my problem. Maybe yours can be solved just as easy. To tweak my general performance I changed two entries, one in the Skyrim.ini and the other in SkyrimPrefs.ini. In Skyrim.ini I added "iFPSClamp=60". This was supposed to lock my FPS at 60. To make this work I had to disable VSync in the SkyrimPrefs.ini, which I did of course: iPresentInterval=0 To fix my legendary lags I just reverted those two options. Completely delete the line for iFPSClamp and set iPresentInterval back to 1, as it was by default. And voilà, no more slow-motion. I hope this helps.
johnny2by4 Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 thanks for all the help everyone, lots of useful info. i've gotten my lag under control via a combination of ini tweaks, alternate textures (skyrim HD lite looks good with much less vRAM usage compared to skyrim realistic overhaul), and disabling a mod or two that just spawned to much crap. i'll mark this as solved.
