SKYRIMLE AutoSave Manager (by vivanto)

[keithinhanoi]

I thank Neo and the original SR for my learning of this essential UI mod.

 

I've got it set with automatic "manual" saves every 10 minutes, and a hotkey for manual saves, with no saves on mount or in combat.

 

I'd love a save on entering a player home feature, but the hotkey is good enough.

 

Mainly, I just wish there was a way to do a hot-keyed "manual" load of the last save without having to enter the menu. Oh well.

So there are no issues in using this? Does this work "perfectly"?

I have had crashes during saves with this mod, no sure exactly why. Not so with the vanilla auto save or menu save.

I personally just stick with the vanilla autosave feature. I very very rarely get CTDs or ILS/Freezes but when I do get them, loading an AutoSave and then making a Clean Save out of it works fine. Just my experience. Others may vary. I did use something like this for Fallout: New Vegas though, which crashed every 10 seconds even on vanilla.

Briefly off-topic: check out EssArrBee's Fallout New Vegas guide here on STEP forum, it's a giant step forward towards a more stable FNV.

 

Back on topic: I've never had a problem that I can attribute to Skyrim autosaves. I have all the autosave conditions selected & the "in menu" @ "every 10 mins". Is there a known issue with Skyrim autosaves, any discussion or documentation to review?

[Garfink]

To be fair to this pluggin, I've had Skyrim crash after a save with just the traditional build-in autosave feature.  In both cases the saves work, it just CTD just after the crash.  

 

This plug-in may just exacerbate the problem because it saves more frequently and in more script intensive times.

 

I suspect this occurs because I've tonnes of scripted mods going and having issues, and likely not a problem with autosave manager itself.

 

I also foresee problems with Real Shelters which specifically tell you not to save the game inside Shelters!

 

I usually turn of the save every 10 minutes feature of autosave manager off myself and just incremental save after combat and travel. I intend to reinstall this sometime during my current new game when everything else is stable again (testing quite a few new mods in this play through).

 

Just gave up on my UBER archer/stealth/smith/enchanting character.  I discovered the "earthquake" enchantment and it makes every arrow stagger opponents almost every time and it was just getting too easy.  I am not sure where this earthquake enchantement comes from but its too powerful.  I will avoid using it from now on in future playthroughs.  

 

(BTW, hi guys, I am back playing Skyrim!)
