My save file has been steadily growing since I installed Sim Settlements and I'm wondering if there is some underlying issue using too many resources and not cleaning up after itself.
Just as a test I used the autodestruct and then uninstalled Sim Settlements.
With Sim Settlements and 13 active settlements:
Save file size: 94.3 MB
Script Instances: 258,037
Changeforms: 519,617
Arrays: 91,947
Now Fallrim Tools relates only 7698 script instances and 267 change forms to SS.
After uninstalling Sim Settlements:
Save file size: 34.2 MB
Script Instances: 155,135
Changeforms: 260,127
Arrays: 6,301
So, 64% of my save is for Sim Settlements content.
That is obviously a massive use of resources. Is this expected or is something running out of control? It seems to be working fine but my concern is there is a problem with garbage collection somewhere which makes my save file constantly grow and grow which will continue until my save fails. I started Sim Settlements after the beta with the "The Water's Fine" release.
Most of the scripts were WorkshopObject and WorkshopObjectScript.
So, 64% of my save file is related to SimSettlements. I actually have 13 active settlements plus the extra empty ones where I claimed the workshop.
Edit: I checked the addon counts and none of them used enough resources to account for the total as far as I can see. Still looking.
