Hi guys

I'm struggling with a problem and was hoping that someone might be able to offer some advice. I have created a mod which is a basemant-style player house. The problem I'm having is that when entering the cell the first 5 seconds or so it just hangs while it says "autosave" in the coner. Once the save is complete it starts working normally but for that first 5 seconds it just freezes completely. My computer is a pretty good spec and I know that other people using the mod are finding that it hangs for even longer on entering the cell.

There must be something that I have missed or done wrong but I've tried everything I can think of to fix the problem and nothing seems to work. I've even downloaded a bunch of other similar mods to see how they are set up and I can't see anything different. My mod uses a lot of weapon racks, mannequins and bookshelves but I've used other mods with more of everything and they seem to work fine, there is no delay on entering the cell. When I exit from my mod's cell back to Breezehome for example again there is no delay, it only happens when I enter the mod cell.

I'm guessing that something has gone wrong with my file, maybe something has corrupted or there is some kind of conflict going on, but I have no idea where to start looking to fix it. Maybe the file just needs optimising or something, but I've searched everywhere and can't find any useful information.

Please help!

Have you tried zoning into your cell (I imagine you're going through a door to get there and not using coc) without the autosave feature of Skyrim enabled? Particularly the one that allows autosaving when changing areas? Just a thought.

If so, have you outfitted your cell with portals and room markers?
