Well, the nostalgia's been getting to me and I'm looking to redo Skyrim on PS3, from around the calculations I've done, he chance of my parents letting me buy a gaming PC for my birthday is about 46.78% chance. S I have HF and DB installed will DG lag my game to sh*t again? Should I go back to November of 2012 on one of my 1.7 saves?

Sorry don’t understand what your really asking. From what I'm reading and understanding your game is lag and you have HF and DG should you go back to an old save that I’m guessing is patch 1.7. If that is correct and you have patch 1.9 installed then you might find more problems.

Here are some tips;

1. Delete or move all Skyrim save files off your PS3. Only have two save files when saving game. Always delete out older save file every time before you start game.

2. Turn off all Auto-saves functions every last one of them.

3. Clean up the world, pots, pans, loose items get rid of them all.

4. If you buy a HF home only build one. All items that generate when building home and items in home like shelves. Collect and get rid of them too. Sell everything, do not store many items inside of the home. Do not buy (NON-HF homes)

5. Do not pick ingredients for potions only buy them from local vendors.

6. Do not raise the dead or have a follower that can raise the dead. Less ash piles.

7. If you use bow/arrows if you miss your target. Try recollect any arrows that missed.
