No secret really i steered clear of large overhaul packs almost completely. I used dozens of small mods, kept my load order in check and avoided obvious major direct conflicts. I did recently go through all my mods reinstall and update my stuff since i adopted a new way to keep my mods which is backup the whole freaking game directory (far easier than backing up mod files and less potential for conflicts if you gotta put everything on a new system).

I added MMM and a bit of Francescos but i was careful about it so it still runs good. If i do use big mods i don't use all of them so no OOO Fransesco's MMM with uberness or anything like that.

If your game is so utterly screwed you can't even start a new game or load a game i suggest you do a clean install look through your mods carefully update them and slowly put them in a few at a time. If you suddenly notice a large spike in crashes try to find the mod responsible and remove it.



Stuff like houses and clothing probably cause the least amount of problems. Just try to get ones that add only clothing and don't do overhauls to game mechanics and you should be good. Just be careful on houses because they can cause problems sometimes. Just keep an eye on your game and be on the lookout for crashes.

1)yes

They made a design decision that mounted combat doesn't work well for their games; clearly, some people disagree. That's life.
