So I started playing skyrim again, and found I was getting really long load times.  I checked that all my mods were up to date, and then, due to an accident caused by a pop-up when I connected my nexus to my laptop to charge, I realized that alt-tabbing caused the game to finish loading. Does anyone know a fix for the load screens taking more time than they obviously need to?

[EDIT]: And after more thorough testing, I have been able to achieve <10 second load times by CTRL+ALT+DEL to task manager, and then alt-tabbing back to the game because ALT+TABing wasn't working.  But it is a hassle to do for every load screen.

I get this problem as well, but mostly in a heavily moddified game. If I use very little or no mods, it doesn't happen. Not sure if its a mod itself that causes the problem, or if Skyrim just can't handle a lot of mods...or something with our PCs (but if that was the case, it would happen all the time even in an unmodded game). In any case, its mod related.

I know for me, load times are longer since i dropped a crapton of mods, i increased my memory usage though to lower that, dunno if that helped at all.

It's probably spending extra time to look for the missing pieces that were once there, but are now gone.

Unless you started a new game.

anyway: started a new playthrough this last week, got turned into a vampire (first playthrough with DLC...)

Needed to feed, broke into a house, found a sleeping child, drank his blood, and reverse pickpocketed a gold coin.

Now, that is the only way I feed; find a sleeping child, remove some blood, deposit coin.

I'm like the Tooth Fairy.

[WillowLuman]

Wat.

Well, you should get Hearthfire as well, so you can give gold coins to Orphans.

Ought to get back into Skyrim soon, myself. That civil war isn't going to end itself, and I've yet to really explore Hearthfire... hopefully hoarding 250 lbs. of iron nails finally pays off! 

(I know, it won't.  )

[Metalax]

Thats nowhere near enough nails! You need a staggering amount of iron, steel and corundum ingots to fit out even one of the houses let alone all three.

I guess I'll try starting a new playthrough then.  If that fixes it, I'll go through the hassle of making a clean save.

Can't stop listening.

[Slayerhero90]

So I'm lookin' forward to Fallout 4.

[Gamerlord]

Wat.

[Putnam]

Bethesda's probably working on that now, since they're done with Skyrim DLC.

[TripJack]

So I'm lookin' forward to Fallout 4.

Wat.

wat indeed

It hasn't been said yet, but the Skyrim Legendary Edition is out. As is the official guide to the game, that supposedly weights 6 pounds.

Also, the news that Skyrim is done when it comes to DLC and that Fallout 4 is in the works is quite old.

[Spitfire]

As is the official guide to the game, that supposedly weights 6 pounds.

I wonder who needs a guide book. Here's my Skyrim guide:

10 Go to marker. If marker is:
20 Friendly -> Talk to
30 Enemy -> Kill
40 Item -> Take
If quest_finished = false: Goto 10

Then you are promptly assassinated by the ghost of Dijkstra.
