Can you post your load order here? Heavily scripted mods (sexlab mods, combat overhauls) can bloat your save. I guess it's their fault. Do they crash to desktop right after loading?

Use Savegame Script Scalpel on one of your bloated saves and see if it works.

Use Savegame Script Scalpel on one of your bloated saves and see if it works.

 

I agree with the Script Scalpel advice, or use the Save Game Cleaner (which is what I use): http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52363/?

 

Both utilities do essentially the same thing, so it's up to you to decide which one you'd prefer using.

 

Depending on how much adding/removing scripted mods you've done mid-save (never a good idea), orphaned scripts will cause bloat...best to use a 'cleaner' of some kind to get rid of them. I generally check my saves every 10 - 20 hours of game play to see what's happening with scripts, file size etc...using the Reset havok function in Save Game Cleaner trims my save file size down a little bit as well.

 

As for your mods / load order...I didn't count exactly how many plugins you're running, but I generally try to stay under 125 (I'm currently at 83). I seem to get stability issues running anything above that. Not saying that's causing your save game bloat issues, but could be a contributing factor to stability issues in general.

I personally found that Blush while Aroused tended to bloat my save a lot

thanks for the heads up i started to down size my game to stop the crashes it happens every time my saves get to about 9000mb so i cut most of my scrips to stop it i might also remove requiem and play normal all the way to the 9000s to see if that works just getting tired of starting over

that's an urban legend

 

you have dragonrend a dragon, he have land in the middle of npcs, before chasing him, you let autoloot pick the coffer for you

you have sofia, her scripts check what get in your inventory

you have enhanced blood and ultimate dragon, and there's a lot of npc hitting that dragon

 

that's probably enought for a stack dump

 

-> game can store x scripts, game can store y suspended stack (script that did nothing and is waiting for his delete)

-> if there's too many suspended stacks, game drop that in the log and no longer bother with it

-> those scripts are not deleted, they stay in the save

-> active scripts are drop in the log too, whatever they did is not save, this can break them

-> when a script start trying to do something already done, and keep trying, result is a suspended stack spamming, that will help get more stack dumps and break more scripts

-> all this crap stay in your save

-> you save grew bigger and bigger without doing anything, until your harddrive is full

 

 

Really good info yatol...thanks for posting this. What would you suggest as a fix for this type of problem of scripts causing bloated save game files...other than the obvious removal of the mods in question and running a cleaner on the save file.
