On hard disk drive (HDD), over time files that are regularly used by the computer will fragment, increasing read times and potentially causing stability issues. It is good practice to make sure the computers drives are defragmented before testing a mod. It is a good idea to defrag your computer after installing a new mod, especially with large mods such as texture overhauls. A recommended program is [http://www.piriform.com/defraggler Defraggler], which allows full drive defragmenting or specific file and folder defragmenting. | |||
