Running quite a few texture and script heavy mods - any way

Post » Wed Aug 22, 2012 3:36 am

Hey guys, as my title says I've installed some heft graphical mods such as:

W.A.T.E.R
Climates of Tamriel
Project ENB
A number of texture replacers (using the HD DLC for landscapes though)

And I'm also using some very script heavy mods including:

SkyRe
Skyrim Monster Mod
SkyTEST
JaySUS Swords
UFO
Immersive Armor
(Using a bashed patch to get these to play nice)

My issue is that my performance has dipped. With simply the graphical mods installed, I was getting quite a solid 60fps. Once the gameplay mods were installed, this dipped in the 45-55 range. While that's certainly playable, it's the stuttering that's annoying.

Is there a mod that folks use to gain performance? I've used the texture optimizer, and looked into SkyBoost but it seems terribly outdated. If nothing else, would removing a couple gameplay mods like JaySUS swords improve performance?

Just trying to figure out the best way to cut corners without giving up the amazing setup I currently have.
