Why save bloat happens
Installation
Install the mod via Vortex or manually, and ensure it is loaded below the official modules. The mod is safe to install or uninstall mid-playthrough, as it does not store any data in your game.
- [] Launch the game and load the save you want to clean.
[
] Open the MCM menu and navigate to "Save Cleaner".[] Click "Start Cleaning".
[] Exit to the World Map and confirm the cleanup process when prompted.
- The mod will automatically create a backup save before and after the cleanup process.
Compatibility Mode
Compatibility Mode is enabled by default and is highly recommended to prevent issues with unsupported mods. You can disable it in the MCM settings if needed, but please proceed with caution.
Notes for Ironman Mode
When using the mod with Ironman Mode, it will create backup copies alongside your Ironman saves, for example:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- 256 endorsements and 33k downloads show the community trusts it.
- Modular addon system means it can adapt to your modded setup.
- Directly tackles save bloat, which is a real pain for long playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Only one update since Feb 2025, so it might not be actively developed.
- Requires addons for full compatibility, so you'll need to hunt those down.
- No detailed feature list, so you're flying blind on what exactly it cleans.
If you're a Bannerlord veteran with a heavily modded save that's starting to stutter or take forever to load, this is for you. Also great for players who've noticed their save files ballooning in size and want a quick fix without starting over.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check your save file size before and after to see how much bloat was removed.
- Look for addons on the workshop that match your other mods for best results.
- Run the cleaner on a backup save first to avoid any surprises.
