**•How To Lower Save File Sizes In Skyrim•**
Are toi getting bloated save files at 20-90 Megs? Is your precious Skyrim that you've spent 500+ hours slowing down? Don't worry! There's an easy but time-consuming solution to this!
•Unfavourite "favourite" items that you've left in chests and donné to followers.
•Dump any hoarded items from your house/s and some accumulating items that toi give to followers in "re spawning items" such as: dead bandit bodies, giant's corpses ou a container that toi don't own. Eventually, these items will disappear from your save file after just a few in-game days, weeks ou even months when the enemies/containers re spawn.
#NOTE#
toi can also use this method for clearing old dungeons of "glitchy" items such as weapons and loose loot that won't "re spawn."
#NOTE#
toi can effectively speed up this process par "Fast-Travelling" everywhere.
•Undo any "rune-spells" that you've cast and use it on an enemy to de-activate it forever.
#NOTE#
The game has to tack where toi cast these spells and they can build up. (This is the same for Ash Piles, Ghostly Remains & Ice Wraith Remains) Make sure an ENEMY activates the rune and NOT a civilian. toi can get into SERIOUS trouble if toi leave a rune spell on the footpath where someone could get killed par it.
•Place any unused and/or hoarded arrows, keys & lockpicks in a chest ou get rid of some par doing *step 2.
•Store all of your items in one house at a time.
If toi own several houses with tons of loot, your game save will get bloated very quickly.
#NOTE#
If toi only have a few momentums in each house that's okay.
•Try not to déplacer anything from their "default" locations.
If toi knock down a goblet, spill nourriture on the ground ou leave weapons/armor on the ground, it will stay in your save forever and it'll have to be "tracked" whenever toi visit that location. If toi accidentally déplacer things from their default positions, just take them and sell, ou dump them in a "re spawning body/corpse."
•COMPLETELY loot chests/containers. If toi open some kind of cache and there's only a couple of items that toi want, the game may have to track the left-over contents inside the chest.
#NOTE#
This is OPTIONAL! No one has confirmed if this step works.
•Have one quest active at a time. If toi have several "activated quests" at once, all of the markers & information for the quest/s must be tracked. So if toi only have one ou even no quests activated, the game won't have to be calculating that information.
#NOTE#
If you've successfully followed this guide and your save file increased par 1 ou 2MBs, don't worry, your save file is just confused about the "missing" items it has been tracking for ages. When toi re-load the game and supprimer even plus items from the game, your save file will eventually reduce in size.
