Well RAM problem aside (I will do some additional testing) the game will load objects past Riverwood with vanilla. Can anyone help me with why it isn't loading objects with STEP installed? And concerning the temperature, I'm not worried about it. The way the new Catalyst overclocking is set up, it dynamically overclocks the GPU in order to reach a target temperature.Â

I don't have any ENB or SweetFX installed. Ironically, in my previous skyrim install (not using STEP but it did use RealvisionENB as well as many 4k textures) I got 40-50 fps. I hypothesize that for whatever reason, Skyrim is making my GPU think my RAM is the VRAM and the reason for the sub-60 FPS is because it is having to send all the data through the PCIE bus, effectively creating a bottleneck and lowering the speed at which the game runs. If you'll notice, the GPU rapidly goes from 0% usage to 90-100% usage and back down. This evidence supports my theory that it is pulling things from the RAM, processing it, pulling more things, processing, etc...

That was just in the main menu. When the game actually loads it drops to like 35 (Which seems a bit low to me considering the hardware, but it might be because of not using the VRAM)

The list above might be the wrong file. Here is the plugins file: Also, the full system specs should be listed in the screenshot of Skyrim Performance Monitor. If there's anything beyond those let me know. And I'm not using any post processing software.Â

So I followed the STEP install guide and installed all the mods like they were listed, except choosing higher quality textures for most of the mods (I have a R9 290 with 4 gigs of vram). I used Mod Organizer as the mod manager. The only things I installed beyond the stuff listed in STEP were SkyRe, Frostfall, Falskarr, Wyrmstooth, Realistic Needs and Diseases, Grass on Steroids, Climates of Tamriel, and ELFX. (if I remember correctly that's everything) When I start a game and go anywhere past Riverwood, the LOD objects do not go away and the normal models do not load at all. Also, if I try to "wait" in Riverwood, the game freezes. Any help to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Here's my Skyrim Performance Monitor after the game froze upon trying to wait in Riverwood: Â I would prefer not having to spend six hours installing mods again.
