Please Advise, New user has long load times

[SCFonzarelli 2]

Hi

Recently purchased C:S and went a little mod crazy before I even booted up the game. Currently, My total assets is 656, and the number of mods is 41. All of them acquired from the Workshop

Im using a PC with:

Win 10

FX-6300

8GB DDR3

GTX 960 (2G)

and i am experiencing very very long load times. I can't show you pics from the loading screen mod tool but i'll do my best to represent them.

Total Time: 41:06

5.98GB(red since the 2 minute mark)

 

PLEASE NOTE: during this load, all 656 assets we're DISABLED, and all 41 mods were ENABLED.

 

When the map finally loaded i was greeted with the following

So i figured to just delete the mod in question but i decided to seek advice before proceeding. Im traditionally poor at modding my games and don't want to break anything further.

 

Are there any guidelines based on my hardware or tips I could use to improve my experience? It seems like a few of you have very powerful machines that can handle thousands of assets and dozens of mods with less of a struggle than I have. Am I too limited by hardware to mod this game and play efficiently?

 

Edit: Just took a quick peek in-game for the TAM mod but Im not sure which it is...

Edit 2: Forgot to mention the game crashed while I was moving my camera around, perhaps 2 or 3 minutes after the map loaded

Your mods just not work together.

1. Use loading screen mod to improve loading time (should come down to some minutes)

2. Disable all your mods an start to enable only some of it, load the game.

3. Have a good look at the mods you load. You will find incompatibility information normaly within the mods desciption.

4. The error messages could appear if you use two versions of the same mod, like Network Extensions AND Network Extensions 2.

 

EDIT: I was previously running the game with roughly 80 mods and 500 assets on 8 GB machine, currently +100 mods and +2.5k assets on a 24 GB machine.

Okay! Thanks for the tips. I'll give this a go and report back soon. 

Very useful. Thanks

Turns out I had some conflicting mods.

 

Before I continue to add assets as the week goes on, I was wondering if its possible for assets to conflict as well? 

 

EDIT: Well i finally had time to check for myself and the game LOADS!!! yesss!

I had never seen mod conflicts affect my pc to the point where I had to cut the power to my tower after it locked up for 30 or 40 minutes. Call me paranoid i guess
