Important
This guide is informational and may not fit every setup. We do not provide third‑party support services. Always back up configuration files and test changes in small steps.
Baseline checks
- Launch the unmodded game once and confirm it runs.
- Keep your graphics drivers reasonably up to date.
- Disable overlays while diagnosing issues.
- Ensure you have enough free disk space for caches and saves.
Mod hygiene
- Install in small batches and test each batch.
- Avoid stacking multiple “overhaul” mods unless you have a clear compatibility plan.
- Prefer well-documented mods with known requirements.
- Keep a changelog of what you added/removed.
Performance habits
- Reduce the most expensive settings first (shadows, draw distance, heavy post effects).
- Prefer fewer high-impact mods over many small overlapping tweaks.
- Watch for thermal throttling on laptops and compact PCs.
Save file discipline
- Keep multiple rotating saves.
- Don’t test new mods on your main long-term save if you can avoid it.
- After major changes, start a new test character to validate behavior.
A simple validation loop
- Change one thing
- Test in a consistent scenario
- Record the outcome
- Keep the change only if it helps
Stability comes from an explainable setup, not from random tweaks.
