Compare your skyrim folder size.

[Gagoloth]

So after six months i decided to reinstall skyrim.

 

I was using a pretty old install that was over 6 months old so i decided to do a fresh install. After deleting my local content i started deleting all of my mods, at that point i noticed how big my skyrim folder was. So let's compare are folder sizes. 

 

 

Mine was. 

 

92.9 GB

 

((This does not include base skyrim. This only counts mods!!!!)) 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Ventus2111]

106 GB

Base game + Mods (Mod Organizer), 186 active plugins/193 plugins in total

Shit, this is extremely huge... I never knew it. Still, the game is still quite stable.

[27X]

120 gigs. 8K+ parallax is a hell of a drug.

[chevalierx]

23 go

[Guest]

Game + MO is about 130Gb, but I also keep many versions of the mods I do, and different versions of the most popular mods to test my mods in different configurations.

I have almost zero textures/armors mods.

[monsta88]

My mod organizer folder is 135 GB, but that contains the downloaded and the installed mods too (sometimes more than one isntance).

[Miyu Miyu]

61 gb not including base game, darkened and falskaar 

[Resdayn]

24 Gb . It seems is kinda low.

[bjornk]

22.4 GB... after spring cleaning. I keep mod downloads separately however.

[spoonsinger]

Umm, MO = 160GB, Skyrm = 10gb, Skyrim Downloads folder = 99gb, (although I do have an external drive with some more stuff on - you can never be sure when someone just removes stuff from the interweb   ).

It's not about the size guys! It's about how you use it!

 

Mine is only small now because I just reinstall!

[Guest endgameaddiction]

19.5GB in mods and unstable. I don't merge. I'm not that dedicated to skyrim. Not even to mod for it. My FO3 was in mods alone was 70ish GBs merged mods and far more stable than Skyrim.

[Wolborg]

85GB, but that includes instruction videos I have saved and a large number of test screenshots.

[pajiman]

53.3 Gb

[Molevalence]

Mine is 29.9 gigs. That's actually quite good compared to everyone else.

[PsYchoMurder]

ModOrganizer folder is 189GB without base game...holy shit i didn't realize it was so huge

You're the biggest so far.....

[Veladarius]

65gb for the NMM mod folder (compressed files only) most of which are not in use

77.8gb for the Skyrim Data folder (I don't use large textures)

[Mister E]

Huh, only 30 gigs of mods. That's better than I expected.

[stilz]

Either I dont have enough 4k textures installed or there are some fringe benefits to doing things the old fashioned way...

 

Skyrim Directory is 48gb, MO directory is 3.9gb. More or less everything is manual/wrye install with MO being my bodies/skeletons/poses etc. thats 220 esp's.

 

If you want to count my archived mods and saves on my external drive you can double that size.

[Epic Gamer Frey]

250gb Mod Organizer + 14gb Skyrim folder

[Captain Cobra]

15.4 GB

 

A lot smaller than I remembered it to be.

[Sharkness Monster]

Just 41.1gb.

Pretty small compared to others, lol.

[Shermie]

1.5 mb

[DaXmAn]

So after six months i decided to reinstall skyrim.

Instead of re-installing, you can use my tool http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73179/? if you like

Simply removes all non vanilla files from Skyrim folder.
