Why didn’t anyone tell me that Papyrus Tweaks NG is mandatory once you have too many other mods?
Too many being probably about four hundred in my case. Script lag was getting ridiculous and then it started locking up, and now suddenly with that one addition, it’s smooth and solid again. With that I guess my personal version of Skyrim is pretty much done, or at least ready for play testing.
It’s honestly nearly impossible to keep up with the essentials after any amount of time away. So many groundbreaking mods come out monthly, that I used to stalk the “Updated” tab just about every day.
There are so many essential and almost mandatory mods for Skyrim, lists get outdated fast. Though Lexy’s LOTD list has an entire section of mostly up to date things. I’d recommend giving it a skim, though it may want you to install more mods.
