After restarting it seemed to go back to normal I'm not sure how much vram skyrim can possibly use but i am on a skyrim with over 600 mods and an i7 8700k and 1080 ti so i assume i'm fine there even if i'm pushing the engine to it's limits. I also ran into a few weird crystal like object that's red and transparent with a ! icon off to the north of whiterun they only seem to be in that area and there's about 5-6 of them here's a screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/xsFixv0 I'm also using quite a few stability mods and addons such as CrashFixes, LoadGameCTDFix, SSME, MemoryBlock and probably a few others i've forgotten.
