Limited space for savegames

[redsgorl]

Good afternoon, I'm looking for help here because it overloads the space of my game in Skyrim and every time I play it gets corrupted, can anyone give me a solution to increase the size limit? other than "sse engine fixes" because it simply doesn't work for me.

You mean that your saves are too big? Or that you don't have enough space on your drive? Or are your saves getting corrupted?

I have a lot of space on my disk so it is not a problem. What I am referring to is that the saves become too large and exceed the 64 MB limit imposed by the base game.

What kind of mods do you run? This issue is probably due to a faulty mod which causes your saves to bloat.

The engine fixes should increase the limit to 128MB, if you enable the savegame fix option.

Do you want me to give you a complete list of names? it's 370

The LOOT summary might show if a mod is known for causing save bloat.

Not really, you should get a tool called ReSaver, open your save with it and look which mod has the most script instances.

Unless you play a character for a thousand hours, a save shouldn't get so big.

I already told you, the engine fixes mod doesn't work for me.
I am looking for a mod that has that option but that is not engine fixes.

Why does the engine fixes mod not work for you?

No, you're trying to pump up a leaky tire. It won't work. Fix the save bloat first.

I don't know what's wrong but it just doesn't work, I've tried thousands of times and lost hope, but since you say I have to solve the save bloat, I don't think I need it.

There is something off as even the most modded games will have save files at about 20MB. I have 400+ mods installed and the save files are about 5MB.

Alex,It's already late and I have to work at night, so could you send me your discord and explain in more detail tomorrow? Steam is usually not very fast when communicating

If you're right, I looked at the saves folder and that's not the problem, they barely pass 1 MB

I don't have a gaming PC anymore, so I can't walk you through ReSaver.

Basically, you need to install this tool, open a save and then have a look at the script instances. If a certain mod has a lot of them, then you should check on its mod page if that is working as intended.

Wait a moment. What's the file ending of those 1MB saves?

[Nabinkemper]

OP may have gone to bed. If they are referring to the data size of the folder itself, I wonder if they have a backlog of autosave files that are not necessary.

The more recent game updates over the last couple of years no longer overwrites the autosave files and just creates new ones. I've seen the save folder have a backlog of 2,000+ autosaves with folders up to 1.5 GB. I have all autosaves disabled and only use manual saves while within an interior. I will backup these saves and generate new ones during each playtime.

Good morning, I've been doing a little research and I already cleaned my game with fallrim tools but I still haven't noticed any changes, the same thing always happens: I play a little, it gets corrupted, I die and I have to restart the game to continue, I don't know what to do... I already finished the main quest, Thieves Guild and the Dragonborn DLC but I have things left to do so I don't want to restart everything.
