Hello, my name is Fenist (hi Fenist), and I am a bloater.

I wrote a simple mod that auto-awards some perks when skills reach a certain level. It worked OK up until today. Today, it began causing horrid savegame bloat (we're talking from 7MB to 140MB in about 20 minutes). And I have no idea how this is even possible. All I know is that once I deleted it from the Scripts folder and removed the mod, the saves went back to 7MB and did not grow out of control.

Here is the code. It's not pretty, but it was doing the job. Please take a look, maybe you can tell me what the hell happened here?

I also would like to be able to run this not "On Update" but whenever player sleeps, so sleeping has better value. But I can't seem to suss it out.

This is just a shot in the dark. But maybe try unregisterForUpdate after all of that?(or wherever it should properly be).

For http://www.creationkit.com/OnUpdate_-_Form events like this, it's best to use a series of calls to http://www.creationkit.com/RegisterForSingleUpdate_-_Form instead.

In order to run when the player sleeps, you'll want to use http://www.creationkit.com/RegisterForSleep_-_Form coupled with the http://www.creationkit.com/OnSleepStart_-_Form or http://www.creationkit.com/OnSleepStop_-_Form event.

Cipsis,

RegisterForSingleUpdate is for a one-time update only - correct? It will run once, and then will never run again. This doesn't really work for me, I want the script to periodically check for the player's skill levels, not just once.

The Sleep approach, however, has worked. No more bloat (apparently) and perks are awarded correctly.

Still would love to know what caused the bloat...

Sorry, the idea behind using a string of calls to http://www.creationkit.com/RegisterForSingleUpdate_-_Form is that you also call it at the end of your http://www.creationkit.com/OnUpdate_-_Form event.

This thread has some good details on potential save bloating caused by registering for continual updates - http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1349327-scripting-savegame-bloating/

Thank you very much! The onSleep approach is much closer to what I originally intended for this particular mod, but this is helpful for any future projects.
