Helloo! Hopefully this is the right section to talk about this..
Hello! So seeing how I'm relatively new to modding Skyrim, I wanted to educate myself a little bit, and what better place to ask than my favorite communities, of which I'm not an active participant, but hey, this doesn't deduct from their sheer awesomeness and the amazing people in it. Looking at you @TechAngel85. :3
Hopefully there are some creators that see this and know a thing or two about scripts and modding in general. So, bloating, what causes it? Rather, is it mainly bad scripts that don't clean after themselves properly, or those that run constantly in the background? I assume the only way to properly identify culprits and solve things is by using one of those saving game cleaner, like scalpel. Recently for example I installed all the Immersive Wenches mods, sheer hilarity and makes fights an AoE fest, spawn spamming enemies, but boy oh boy does it have scripts. Uses a bunch of scripts to summon the NPC's you fight it seems, but of course there's no way to tell if something is volatile just by looking at it, at least not without some knowledge. I have to say, no matter how many heavy scripts I DON'T use, the file size keeps getting bigger and bigger, but seems to stabilize a bit at certain points, so I guess file size increase can't be helped, and any save eventually becomes a big mess. I guess such is the engine of Skyrim? :(
I wonder when problems start happening with a heavily modded Skyrim, some say when the save file reaches 20mb+(while others are fine at much bigger sizes *shrug*) others mention the .ess file and that this one plays a bigger role. Any kind of info regarding this is more than welcome!!!
