Now that's odd. Have you tried mo instead of nmm?

SSE or oldrim?  Though originally I and many thought that we'd be able to use textures/meshes/armours mods for the original game it turns out that it is unwise.  So just be sure the mods you install are for the correct version of skyrim.  Also try opening task manager and right clicking TESV.exe and increasing the priority to high just to see if it helps(helps me).  But otherwise off the cuff not seeing any particular reason why you'd be having perf issues.

 

:edit: actually what is your save game filesize?  Is your save bloated?  and how many approx hours has the save been for (related to size in a relative sense)

First off, don't use Nexus mod manager

Download Mod organizer

Run the LOOT 

[BurntNewt]

I'm new to all this can you explain a little better

Are you testing these mods one at a time?

The number of mods literally doesn't matter, but you want to test them one at a time, so you know where the problem is. The Type of mods, intensity, how much of EACH mod, etc. is what matters. It also helps to look at your usage (VRAM/RAM/CPU/Memmory/etc.). 

When you get more experienced (and understand what you're doing), you'll be able to skip testing certain mods one at a time (as in, when you CTD, you know exactly what mod caused it, or at least roughly)

 

It also doesn't matter if you use NMM or MO at this point. The person from MO joined the NMM team, so I would imagine a lot of MO's features are coming to NMM anyways, so sticking with NMM might save you some trouble in the future.

 

Gamerpoets has excellent guides if you're feeling lost. If you're dowloading the mods straight from SSE, then the older guides should work just fine too. If you're importing mods, I think they have a guide on that too, if you're confused, I'd recommend sticking with SSE converted mods only until you solve your problem. 

 

Hope it helps.

 

ive been getting my mods from nexus  or is sse the same thing

I think I know what the problem is. So there's the Skyrim Nexus page, and the Skyrim SE Nexus Page. Can you verify that, for the SE version, ALL of the mods you are using came from the SE version of the nexus? If you're straight downloading them, then in general that could be what's causing it. (I remember hearing about Meshes causing lag/frame problems but I think some people didn't get it). 

In otherwords

Skyrim Nexus SE for Skyrim SE Mods

Skyrim NExus for Skyrim (old)

If you mix and match, you will need to be sure that each file is prepared to do so which I would avoid while you try to fix your problem)

ok I wasn't clear I didn't not download any skyrim special edition mods this is all for original skyrim

Are you sure about that?  If you didn't understand the difference between SSE and Old Skyrim before, how do you know you didn't install ones form the wrong versions?

Do remember that Armour mods generally have meshes and textures in them.

Okay, so that makes things more difficult. What OS are you on? if you're on windows 10 (and I think 8, but I don't remember) you will have vram limitations. No matter how much RAM you have, you will only have 4gb ish worth of VRAM (the size can only be increased in windows 7, using enb, and then it's up to 10240). 4gb is included when swapping from VRAM to RAM, as far as I understand it.

The limitations you're referring to for windows 10 was for Old Skyrim.  Actually they were for DX9/32-bit and not about any particular game or OS.  There were however methods to patch or workarounds where the OS would make a difference.  For instance DX9 on Win7.

 

Either way this shouldn't be the case with SSE (DX11/64-bit) regardless of which version of windows.

The OP said it was for original skyrim. I think you're getting way too caught up in the exact wording of what I said there. 

Probably right, I do tend to do that.  However the OP also said they're using SSE, so... :shrugs:

I'll just excuse myself.  Happy holidays!

No worries, I'm actually confused now, I thought the OP was saying he/she was using the original.

i am using the original and i only downloaded mods from nexus i think i fixed the issue i unintalled some mods and reinstalled them and it fixed I also got rid of some that did not have all the files
