100+ Mb savegame, and counting

[elenhil]

Evening, gentlemen!

 

I'm not sure it could count as a proper bug report or anything, but here you go: my STEP+ playthrough is all but ruined by savegame bloat.

 

Now, I am fully aware that adding quite a number of mods on top of Core STEP makes me the author of my own sorrows, and yet perhaps my case could be a warning to others. A 100+ Mb savegame is not fun even on an SSD!

 

Please bear with me and I will append this thread with a modlist shortly. Perhaps someone might notice a known culprit there.

You'll need to upload one of the saves.

Likely something is generating a bunch of instances and isn't freeing them.

[elenhil]

Sure! Thank you for suggesting it!

This isn't the latest and biggest of them all, but it is definitely going in that direction. I chose it because shortly thereafter I made the only clean save + update of a mod I attempted (Frostfall) and I didn't want it to contaminate the picture.
