How to know when you have too many scripts?

[thizzlamic1]

I'm putting the finishing touches on my mod list for my next full playthrough, and am having trouble deciding if sexlab & friends have a place in it. So far, my load-order contains 194 plugins, but I'm not sure how script-heavy it is. Here is my load-order:

If anyone could glance through it, and give me an idea of how script-heavy it is, I'd appreciate it. Also, is there a way to tell through TESVEdit, or something like that?

Maybe Papyrus Log Viewer can make some things clearer. It lets you see how many times one or another message turns up in your Papyrus logs.

Number of plugins has nothing to do w/ script latency.

The number of Scripts you have won't help you too.

 

I see you have convenient horses installed, there is a script latency check in the MCM Menu on the first page to give you an idea.

Yeah, I understand that not all scripts are equal (e.g., that a single script constantly checking for things can cause a lot more overall latency than several scripts that run once, or that two functionally similar scripts can have very different performance impacts based on how efficient their code is). I was hoping that people would be able to indicate which of my mods would be the most likely to cause problems, particularly in a full playthrough.

 

Following your advice, I sprinted through a freshly loaded Solitude while it was raining (assuming that would cause Wet and Cold to work harder), and averaged about 60ms from the front gate to the Blue Palace. Is that sufficient, or should I try it in different locations? Also, I've since swapped out convenient horses and better vampires for immersive horses and sancrosact, as I've read that the latter two are quite a bit more lightweight. I do have Jaxonz Diagnostics, though, so I can still run a latency test.

 

I appreciate the help.

You will probably start to lag a bit with Sexlab and "friends".

Best thing to do is to install them and test, much sexlab mods give the possibility to configure the scripts loop.

[9tailedfox]

does your game shoot itself when you play?

Do certain things take decade to load(using alchemy table waiting years for it to load items)

does papyrus run away from you?

 

have you used the save tool and looked at active scripts?

 

does your renderer feel out of shape?

 

 

if none of these apply, then you have less scripts than me
