How To Avoid Problems
- []NEVER EVER uninstall mods unless you are starting a new playthrough.
-
[]Be careful updating mods. Check for update instructions. Some updates require you to start a new playthrough.
[]Just because a mod author says it's safe to update, doesn't mean it necessarily IS safe. Use caution and sense.
-
[]Turn off autosaving and don't use quicksave. There are mods that claim to "fix" quicksaving -- they do not work. The problem with quicksaves and autosaves is inherently unfixable. Always save using the menu (or the console if you're fancy).
[]When you load your savefile, wait at least thirty seconds before saving again. Some scripts will break if you save too soon after loading.
[]At least try to avoid saving during combat or other conditions of heavy script load.
- Just because someone went to the effort of making a ModPack doesn't mean that ModPack is stable or reliable.
A Few Notable Ways that Savefiles Die
Thrashing
Thrashing happens when scripts are being started faster than the old ones can finish. Eventually there are too many and the savefile becomes corrupted. Even well-made mods that work perfectly under normal conditions can start thrashing when script load gets too high.
Embiggification
When a savefile becomes too large, it can cause crashes when it's loaded even if it's not corrupted. This problem especially affects Skyrim Legendary Edition, but can still happen with Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special/Anniversary Edition.

Unattached Instances
Sometimes unattached instances are harmless. Sometimes they reduce performance. Sometimes they cause crashes. Sometimes they are like the one rotten support beam that is holding up an entire house -- so removing them with ReSaver will sometimes cause the entire savefile to stop working.
High Script Load
Saving during conditions of high script load will sometimes produce truncated savefiles. Autosaves are especially vulnerable to this.
