Regarding stability when many mods installed

Post » Sat Jul 06, 2013 12:40 pm

I have a few questions for people who are very experienced in modding their Skyrim.

1. If you have Skyrim with 150+ mods installed (not counting textures), is it absolutely stable or you got used to dealing with occasional crashes and freezes?

2. If your heavily modded Skyrim is stable, how you achieved this? Was it "installed everything and works just fine" or you worked hard to make it stable? Your process of making the game stable with many mods - major interest for me.

3. Is it possible that textures make game crash? For example I have one texture of grass floor, that crashes game and if I change it for another grass floor texture, can it somehow fix CTD?

4. What are some of the most notorious mods that cause crashes?

5. What are your general advices for making heavily modded AND stable Skyrim?

Your not adding content your recoding the game when adding mods. It stands to reason the more changes that are being made, the less stable the game is.

1. Depends on the mods. My game is rock solid with about 30 of them, none change the balance.

2. See above, I only mod what I thing needs to be changed, not just because the mod is there.

3. Yes.

4. Load Order and messed up Merges

5. Less is more.
