16 gb ram what mb should I put in my pagefile in Windows ?

The general rule is that your pagefile can be 4x bigger than your RAM :)

That said unless you have an SSD I wouldn't.

Plus the space needs to be free on your SSD/HD

i tried it and set mine to 32 GB (Have 16 GB RAM) didnt notice any difference with 1300 assets and 50 mods activated

I have 8GB RAM with such much assets and 50 mods and it runs :)
thanks to my 32GB pagefile on an SSD

So you might not see a difference but you might see that the game can handle more assets

plus you with 16GB RAM might not need a pagefile yet

"There is a formula for calculating the correct pagefile size. Initial size is one and a half (1.5) x the amount of total system memory. Maximum size is three (3) x the initial size. So let's say you have 4 GB (1 GB = 1,024 MB x 4 = 4,096 MB) of memory. The initial size would be 1.5 x 4,096 = 6,144 MB and the maximum size would be 3 x 6,144 = 18,432 MB."

you can leave it to "let windows decide". if you don't want to do that, i wouldn't allocate any more than 8gb min and 32gb max.

About 4 times the size of your ram.
