Optimised Scripts for XPMSSE
Version 1. 2. 0
7 February 2023
Optimised two scripts from the XP32 Maximum Skeleton Special Extended - XPMSSE mod. Requires the original mod. Does not change any functionality except for improving efficiency.Requirements
- The original XPMSSE mod. Specifically: version 4. 81 or 5. 00/5. 01/5. 02/5. 03/5. 04/5. 05/5. 06.
- The XPMSSE - Fixed Scripts mod.
- The XPMSSE - Nemesis - Papyrus Stack Fix mod. Specifically: version 4. 8. 3 OR version 4. 8. 4.
- powerofthree's Papyrus Extender
Changes made by this patch
- Optimised functions that were shown (by the Papyrus Profiler) to be called a lot.
- 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 (minimising the chances of any major scripted events being currently active).
(In)compatibilities
There are many other mods out there also including various XPMSSE scripts, with various fixes in them. I built on these files, and you should install these before mine, letting mine overwrite at the end. Please make sure that you have these mods installed, in exactly this order (such that later ones always overwrite earlier ones):
1) Firstly, install XPMSSE itself: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1988
2) Secondly, install XPMSSE - Fixed Scripts: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/44252
3) Thirdly, install XPMSSE - Nemesis - Papyrus Stack Fix: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/60363 (version 4. 8. 3 OR version 4. 8. 4)
4) Finally, install my mod.

- If you do not care about the styles functionality of XPMSSE at all, rather than installing my mod and all its requirements, it may be better to use XP32 Maximum Skeleton Lite.

- Pure performance boost: optimizes scripts without touching gameplay, so you get smoother animation handling risk-free.
- Lightweight and focused—just two scripts, so it's easy to install and forget.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in February 2023—might be outdated for the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups.
- Requires XPMSSE as a dependency, so it's useless if you don't run that mod.
- No detailed changelog or documentation provided, so you're trusting the author's word on what exactly was optimized.
For Skyrim modders who already use XPMSSE and want to squeeze out extra performance without changing their setup. Perfect for those running heavy animation mods or on lower-end rigs. Skip if you don't use XPMSSE or if you're looking for new features—this is purely a performance patch.

- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, enable this mod and let it overwrite the original scripts—no extra configuration needed.
