Optimised Scripts for Arcanum
Version 1. 0. 0
13 June 2023
Optimised versions (mostly small micro-optimisations) of some of the scripts used by the Arcanum - A New Age of Magic mod. Requires the original mod. Does not change any functionality except for improving efficiency.Requirements
- The original Arcanum mod. Specifically, I recommend the Fixed version uploaded by ConfusedEnoch.
- powerofthree's Papyrus Extender
- PAPER (version 2. 1. 0 or greater)
Changes made by this patch
- Small micro-optimisations in scripts.
- No changes in functionality (aside from possibly some improvements in efficiency).
Installation
- Same as any other standard mod, recommend installing using a Mod Manager.
- Note that this is not a full mod, just a patch.
- Clean saving should not be required, though to be 100% safe, try to create the saved game for which you first install this file in a quiet
place with no combat going on (minimising the chances of any major scripted events being currently active).
(In)compatibilities
- If you have any other mods that patch/adjust/change/modify Arcanum's scripts, make sure to load them after and let them overwrite my files in your mod manager. Exception: load the Fixed version of Arcanum before my files, letting mine overwrite.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 657 endorsements and over 116k downloads.
- Pure performance boost without altering gameplay.
- Lightweight micro-optimisations that are easy to install.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Arcanum mod, so it's useless without it.
- Only optimises 'some' scripts, so not a comprehensive performance overhaul.
- Potential compatibility risk if the original mod updates and changes those scripts.
For Arcanum players who experience script lag or stutter and want a quick performance boost without changing gameplay. Also for modders who appreciate clean, efficient code. Skip if you don't use Arcanum or expect major FPS gains—this is a subtle optimisation, not a game-changer.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Arcanum mod installed first, as this add-on won't work without it.
- Since this mod only optimises scripts, you can safely install it on top of an existing save without starting over.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it overwrite the original scripts; if manual, back up the originals just in case.
