Enhances the ini loading ability of skyrim past 256 character limit and more importantly eliminates directory thrashing by the engine and related ctd's and performance issues.

Ok, thanks for this one. Very happy you brought it to my attention :) Dont have enough time atm to check for great mods that slipunder the radar.

Is it confirmed that it gets rid of the hd thrashing? If so that would be amazing, the description doesn't list it though.

[frihyland]

yes its a side effect of the other fixes, the author was unable to confirm the directory thrashing in the first place so he didn't list it.

More info on directory thrashing here. ShadeMe posted the first version of Nitpick in post #59 (before uploading to Nexus, I'm guessing). People were reporting that it reduces the tens of thousands of disk reads to nonexistent files and such. For those of us with 100+ mods, this is definitely hundreds of thousands of wasted disk reads when loading stuff.

Sounds like a very useful addition to STEP, I'll check this one out.

Yeah and the official Nitpick thread is here, I just saw frihyland on that thread too. Hopefully the author keeps this updated for the major updates.

The author posted an update (Nitpick 40) for Skyrim 1.7.7.0

Shademe is my hero

 

One more small update for Nitpick, a little resource for mod authors.

 

Verlet Physics for capes, I hope Noodles and Nivea have the time and skill to use it.

Tannin says this is not compatible with Mod Organizer.

[Eliian]

Yeah. It was causing many issues for me. Can affirm that.

[Neovalen]

I run it with Mod Organizer for months... no issue at all... hrm.

[TechAngel85]

No issues here. Be sure you update it for game update 1.9

[Sixxness]

How come this was dropped?

[TechAngel85]

It is no longer needed. WB users will still want to use it, but MO has the fix integrated into the program itself.
