My ignore selections do look like that. Ill attach a few logs. Thanks for the support guys. Here is a portion of my SRO log.

This is an example of my top window F:\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\ModOrganizer\mods\83Willows 101BUGs V4 1 HighResolution\Textures  (i do say use folder) and this is an example of my bottom window D:\83 willows opt Then I click process and watch the bar complete. I then look at my new folder which is the exact same size as the unoptomized one.  Confused.

Hey guys, everything is set up according to the image guide and I copy and pasted the ini. Both those things are unchecked in my ignore drop list...I really dont understand why the things I optimize dont reduce in size. ; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Ill check some 3k DRAM threads then. Â I just tried to optimize SRO on its own rather than the whole folder. Â I know for damn sure that DDSOPT is set up right according to step, ini and all. Â Maybe theres a problem with how Im using it? Â Because my SRO optimized folder is the same size as unoptimized...man. Â So I selected Mod organizer/mod for the top window, and D:/Sro optimized for the bottom window. Â I click process and the SRO optimized folder gets filled. Â Am I missing a step with the actual optimization or something? :S

Ok, I actually posted on your thread earlier. Â Thanks for the responses. Â Ok so maybe I just have the files extracted but not optimized yet? Â Ill be sure not to touch the water mods and blood mods like you said on your other thread. Â Hopefully I can get this sorted out tonight. Â Any DDSOPT experts around?Â

Thank you for the response. Â So I suppose having a larger folder is normal then? Â That really is good to know. Â Anyways for your question. Â I use a tool called Skyrim performance monitor. Â I have a GTX 680 4gb and an AMD 8350 processor. Â Performance monitor tracks fps, CPU usage, GPU usage and RAM and VRAM usage. Â Vram gets close to 3000, thats fine; I upgraded from a 2gb model to a 4gb model to really push this game. Â My GPU usage never gets into the 90s and my CPU usage never hits even the mid 40s really; thats why I am puzzled about my fps dips. Â Now to the thing that is ruining my game; Ram. Â My monitor tracks ram usage, whenever it gets close to the 3000 or a bit over textures go blank and I ctd. Â I've done exterior to interior cell tests (in and out about 10 times), ive done fight tests; while suffering fps dips it doesn't seem like my ctds are coming from mod conflicts. Â My game closes like clockwork as soon as it passes that 3000+ system ram zone. Â It sucks. Â Now that I'm using mod organizer I don't even know how to use optimizer texture or SMCO (like I used to) to cure these kind of errors. Â The weird thing is the only big 2k texture pack I'm using is SRO. Â Anyways I really need DSOPT advice and input from ppl who have successfully worked past these kind of dilemmas would save my life. Â

I just spent days downloading Skyrim revisited (with minor tweaks).  But I can count the deviations from his original plan on one hand.  As far as I can tell I am no longer having CTDS due to mod conflicts (Neovalen is incredibly thorough and for the most part his instruction is clear).  But I am now having ram bursting CTDS and poor performance on a high end rig due to this issue.  I have come to the conclusion I must be using DDSOPT wrong...I feel like I've followed the instructions word for word; which is why Its so confusing.  I just checked the  orginal Hi res dlc #1 BSA and compared it to the extracted and optimized HRDLC1 opt folder I am using with my game...the HRDLC1 opt folder is much larger than the orginal BS by a whole gigabyte...HRDLC1 opt folder=2.5g while Hi res DLC.bsa=1.5g.  Does this sound normal to any of you guys?  Has anyone experienced problems like this in the past?  I should be able to correct my mess 100% by just optimizing everything again one by one and overwriting all the textures in my Mods organizer/mods folder right?  All tips appreciated, cheers.

I took a week off work so i could do Skyrim revisted and test it lol... My System Ram is bursting. Â I dont think I'm having ctds due to mod conflicts (like I used to), Its based solely on SRAM bursting. Â Textures turn blank white and about 3000 ram and then I ctd. Â I have selected the entire Mod organizer/Mod folder and Have DDSOPT optimizing everything in there. Â I will then drag the new optimized folder and replace everything in there right now. Â Really hopes this gets my game stable, SR was allot of work and after 2 months of trying STEP, if this doesn't work I may just tap out. Â lol :*(

Thanks for the responses guys. Â If anyone has a link to Iroha's Immersive patrols and ASIS guide I would appreciate that. Â Maybe I should get rid of Dynavision then; I always thought it would have been safe due to the fact its a mod by the almighty Gopher man.

Immersive patrols needs to be in there. Â I was wondering if ASIS or Enhanced enemy AI is safe with the revisited config? Â Does anyone know? I was also wondering about Dynavision/Immersive armors/Immersive weapons.
