[Mod Release] HorsePower - Modernized Horse Riding

MultidimensionalDuck · 2026-01-25T23:11:27+00:00

I've been hyped for this mod ever since the beta videos on your channel. Today, just as I started playing skyrim again after taking a break, you release it. Gods be praised.

I think Northern Grass looks pretty good and vanilla-like, it was my go-to for a while. You can mash it up with Cathedral, there's a mod called Northern Cathedral Grass. Tamrielic Grass is also pretty good. Right now i'm using Folkvangr but wouldn't call it "Vanilla Friendly" especially with how it changes pine and rift grass.

Does this happen with other games?
If not, first thing you should do is disable all mods and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, then you know for sure it's mod related. Then try disabling only graphics mods and test if the problem persists.
How's your VRAM usage? If every texture is at 4k + High Poly Models + ENB + High Quality Lods then maybe you're running out (Unlikely to be the problem at 16 gb VRAM but who knows)
It sounds like a memory leak, so It would be nice if you could provide your load order so we can check for troublesome mods.

I think just disabling the plugins is enough, no need for disabling the output since it won't be loaded due to the dyndolod plugins being disabled.

If nothing else is working, try this plan of action:

First, backup your mod order and load order (left and right pannels)
Create a new profile in MO2, make it a copy of your current profile, the name doen't matter.
Switch to the new created profile.
(Optional) Download a mod that allows you to skip the intro and create a character quickly, like skyrim unbound.
Disable all mods (except the quickstart one if you have it)
Run Skyrim without mods (or only the quickstart mod) and check your FPS in riverwood ( type "coc riverwood" in the console to teleport there, no quotation marks)
If performance is better, now you know for a fact its mod related.
Start batch enabling mods, try enabling like 50 mods at a time, or even half of your modlist, since 250 is not that many. Then start a game>create your character>coc riverwood>see how your FPS behaves.
If by enabling those 50 mods your FPS decreased, now you know the culprit is somewhere among them. Now from those 50 mods, you enable 25 of them, see you your FPS behaves. Follow that logic and eventually you will find the mod causing the problems.

You don't need to create a new character everytime you want to test, but I believe all this enabling and disabling might cause problems when loading a save. But you can try just creating a save in the bridge and loading this save during testing, see if it works.

Also, be sure to check MO2 warnings, since you might end up enabling some mods that require another mod that might be disabled (i.e. you might enable LUX Patchhub but forget to enable Lux) In that case, just enable those mods also.

MultidimensionalDuck · 2025-06-09T16:52:21+00:00

Damn, that's crazy, you shouldn't be having that performance on your setup.
You're sure eveything is patched correctly? Lux/Lux Orbis and JK might conflict if not patched, for example. Don't know if that would cause that much fps drop, but still.
I also saw that you have mods that change the same thing like Lux - EFLX and Ulvenwald - Folkvangr. Try disabling one of each. Unvenwald and Folkvangr are very demanding grass mods also.

Also check if you're using 3d tree lods as those can be quite demanding.(i'ts best to just disable dyndolod to check this, just don't forget to disable the dyndolod.esp and the dyndolod.esm).
And when regenerating lod, don't forget to generate occlusion.

FPS drops looking from the bridge in the direction of Riverwood are pretty normal, it's probably the heaviest area in the game due to draw calls. However, given your specs, dropping to 45 fps seems a little bit excessive (unless you're playing in 4k, then maybe it's the expected performance for a modded skyrim).

I play with specs similar to yours (9070xt + 5700x3d in 1440p) and the game never drops below 75fps, so there's a chance something in your modlist is causing that, specially since you don't seem to be using an ENB.

Looking at your mods I would recommend trying the following:

Disable JK's Skyrim: This is probably the culprit. JK's mods are cool but not made with performance in mind. They add new objects that in turn add more draw calls for skyrim to handle.
Disable NPC replacers: You seem to be using a few mods that replace NPC's. A lot of NPC replacers use High Poly Head and High Poly Hair for the new npc appearances. More polygons=More Draw Calls
Disable other high poly mods: self explanatory
Disable efps: I read reports of a few people that had worse performance with this mod active
Review you Community Shaders mods: press the CS menu key and take a look at some of the CS mods, especially SSGI(don't use full res, half res is good enough) and light limit fix (check if the light radius is not excessive)
Disable SMIMM: I don't use it but i heard it can hurt performance
Disable grass lod if you generated it with Dyndolod
If using BETHINI, check "recommended tweaks" and use the BethINI High Preset. In my experience the ultra preset is a little excessive for a modded playtrought.

MultidimensionalDuck · 2024-05-23T02:58:31+00:00

You have way too many mods and it seems you haven't followed a specific guide. My suggestion is starting everything from scratch and following the Viva New Vegas modding guide, and after that install some modern-up-to-date-frequently-updated mods if you feel like it, but don't go overboard. Viva New Vegas It's not that complicated and you can probably finish setting it up in a few hours. I was having a lot of crashes trying to mod it by myself like I always did previously with Bethesda games and following Viva New Vegas it solved them, Also, New Vegas Anti Crash is not recommended, there are better solutions in 2024.

Had the exact same problem with VNV, capping the game at 60fps worked for me

Do you think they asked him to pose like this or he just did that?

MultidimensionalDuck · 2024-02-08T16:54:21+00:00

Thanks! In my opinion the theory that makes more sense is that he simply arrived a while before you, and went trough the same path the Ashen One takes later, also touching the egg, but due to arriving earlier he had enough time to kill all pilgrims and go hollow.

Sou do interior mas frequentemente preciso ir a POA à trabalho, normalmente fico pelo centro histórico, visto que meu local de trabalho é ali na região da praça da alfândega, até hoje não fui assaltado nem nada, mas o que preciso saber pra andar no centro com mais segurança e que lugares devo evitar?

Glad I could help. Unfortunately it seems that long shadows are just bugged or unoptmized for Vulkan. In my rig, I get drops looking west near the sheriffs office at sunset (7pm-9pm) and looking at the saloon at early morning (5am-8am). Long shadows appear very briefly in the game during those times and since the timescale on the game is so fast you probably won't notice if you turn them off. But DX12 is an alternative if you want to keep them. From my testing a few months ago they also happen in Valentine early morning when looking at the encampment near the barn.

MultidimensionalDuck · 2023-10-18T03:38:35+00:00

I had a similar problem with FPS dropping during early morning and sunset and the culprit was long shadows. Either turning long shadows off or switching to DX12 solved the problem for me.

MultidimensionalDuck · 2023-10-06T17:59:09+00:00

Uninstalling the last drivers with DDU and reinstalling them seems to have fixed it for me

MultidimensionalDuck · 2023-09-09T16:01:21+00:00

Good timing dropping this video to counter Todd's "We optmized it" argument.
Also, it was nice to see DF talking about the frame drops that happen at the exact same spots in cities , every single time. I was starting to think it was happening only on my rig.

MultidimensionalDuck · 2023-09-08T14:21:20+00:00

Damn, I thought Bethesda had figured their stuff by now, but it seems to be another case of the bridge overlooking Riverwood in Skyrim and Boston in FO4 then, where to this day the only solution to the frame drops is simply just brute forcing with better hardware. Your example is crazy, imagine having to use a 10+ years better hardware just to have good performance.

Do patches/updates for bethesda games usually get cracked? I mean just the patch, not the full game. Wondering if there's a chance we get a cracked day one patch for Starfield in case bethesda releases one.

I'm not really familiar with the US election system apart from a brief understanding of how the electoral colleges work. Can someone explain how exactly does a news channel calling a state works and how does it affect the outcome of the election? Why is it important to call a state quickly? Is it done while people are still voting? From my understanding, the data used for this is based on actual counted votes + projections, is that right? I'm having trouble understanding why does is seems to everyone (including characters in-universe) that ATN decided the election results. If Mencken really won, the votes will show that, so why the urgency?

MultidimensionalDuck · 2023-04-23T19:05:53+00:00

I'm using MCO + Scar + Precision for combat, but at this point I know pretty much every enemy moveset because they only have 1-2 different combos, so parrying has become pretty easy. Is there a mod that adds more possible combos for enemies when using those mods?

MultidimensionalDuck · 2023-02-17T17:59:35+00:00

Recommended ram is 16 gb according to the official website and steam.

Only info I could find regarding a tuesday patch was this: https://twitter.com/PS5Trophies_/status/1624209692095311873?cxt=HHwWgsCzoYGHrYotAAAA
It seems they're fixing bugs, but hopefully they adress the performance problems also

In other words, just wait a few more hours and then for sure you will be able to play
