spent so much time leveling up the tedious skills (enchanting/alchemy/smithing). barely did any quests, save the thieves guild. i'm now level 50 and the lag is so bad that there's no way i can continue to play. was really looking forward to playing the main quests too. oh well

turn off all auto-save features, its a temporary solution and reduces the lag tremendously Im lvl 48 finished brotherhood quests, the main story, civil war & thieves guild and my file size is only 7mb

damn wish i would have known that. i'm at 10k already. will turning it off now still help? or was this something that i needed to have done earlier.

it should still help as i turned off auto save after around 40 hours with a save file over 7mb and it did help a little. i would'nt go as far as saying i fixed things by any stretch of the imagination but it did help a little.
