Tag the heavy mod!

[Frozium]

So I just started a new playthrough with new mods, but the FPS have gone down to a point that I have to play without grass and TEOFIS and getting ~30FPS... In the middle of nowhere at the north coast!

I actually have less mods than previous playthroughs, but something is killing my FPS.

NOTE: I've used Naruto Overhaul, Uchiha clan, PERMA, Immersive armors and weapons and Fantasy soundtrack project in previous playthroughs. Not to mention the lesser mods like RaceMenu. I think that the 'bad' mod could be NPC85 (JH people) or Skyrim Immersive creatures.

 

NOTE 2: I DON'T use ENB

 

Thanks for replying

I don't see anything that could kill your FPS, so my questions would be:

Do you use texture mods?

Do you use ENB?

Could you provide a list of installed mods? Your load order isn't always enough. It's impossible to tell if you have texture mods installed because the majority of them doesn't have a .esp/.esm file.

I can't provide you the full list right now, but I use the Full aMidianBorn pack. Can that be problem?

Ehm am really no expert here but i would double check: jh_people2.esp, MorePP.esp , Skyrim Immersive Creatures.esp, Skyrim Immersive Creatures - DLC2.esp > these i would consider as "heavy" mods. Also having 4 or 5 hair texture packs must have quite the impact on loading lol. 

 

However, the problem does not need to be mods related. Check ur Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini> if you made any changes here (drawing shadows, grass per texture, density, etc...) > these could have massive impact on FPS. Furthermore fps also greatly depends on ur choice of ENB, some enb's on my rig have a perfomance impact of 20 fps or more. Might wanna play around with other setups to see if there's any difference.

 

The best advice i can give you is: try and remember when the fps issue started> date it back and try to find mods that u installed at that time and reverse the changes, or any modifications you might have done.

 

Hope this helps

If that is the only texture mod you use, it shouldn't be much of a problem. Unless you can't even play Skyrim on ultra settings. You can try to disable it and see if it fixes the problem. Is that the only texture mod? If you have a lot of them, you could try to disable all of them.

You said you used other mods on other playthroughs, did you make any big changes to your mod list before starting this playthrough?

I guess you already did that, but in case you didn't, try to close other programs when running Skyrim.

If that doesn't help you, you could try this thing and maybe find out something.

That's all ideas I have for now, sorry.

Aside from the aMidian Born textures, I only have the Apachii hair natural retextures (performance option)

HDT hairs used to kill my FPS, I see you have one. Could be the cause

You can also try to reset the .ini files. Go to ...\Documents\My Games\Skyrim (or where you have your .ini files) and delete Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini. After you did that, launch Skyrim via Steam. It should automatically generate new files. Close the launcher after that and try to run the game how you would run it normally.

Have you got HDT Physics installed? if so what XPMSE Skeleton version are you using? I found that i had to use XPMSE3 or my framerate went south big time.

I use HDT with XPMSE 3

OK, I'll try that. (Good that I made a backup when I started the modding)

Only one HDT Ponytail (Azar hair)

 

 

It doesn't matter how much different hairstyles you have installed, only the active one on your current character will take FPS. If you're using a static hairstyle it's fine, but if you're using the HDT hairstyle it make your PC lag.

I'm not saying it's the problem, but if I were you I would try to change it for a while (open console, type "showracemenu" and change your hairstyle, no need to uninstall it)

One thing:

USE ENB!!! 
Even if you DO NOT use the graphics modifications, the changes that ENB makes to the way MEMORY is handled will VASTLY improve your performance.

I deleted all the aMidian Born content and Skyrim immersive creatures and everything's fine now.

Yea, aMidian's stuff is VERY heavy on resources, especially if you use the 2k textures. I have a decent GPU, and still only use the 1k textures for ... well ... pretty much every texture mod I use. 

 

If it's NOT 1k, I MAKE it 1k with DDSopt. 

 

Never tested Immersive Creatures. I may have to do that with my current rebuild of my guide. Thank you for bringing it up. If it has problems, I'm sure it's fixable hehe
