Skyrim is unplayable

Ive been playing 100% fine since forever. My computer can more than handle its graphics settings. All of sudden for no reason at all its lags so much that its unplayable. I have not done a single thing. My drivers are updated and I tried reinstalling it. I'm using steam btw.

How about you actually list your specs and give more detail to the problem.

Obviously is has nothing to do with specs, he said it played fine before.

My first guess would be a virus, any protection? Is your PC in general acting up or just Skyrim? Were you using mods? I also heard of a bug with the savefile size causing issues, not sure of the fix, if any.

Do you use mods? If so mods are the most likely issue here, uncheck them one at a time and test until you find the source of your problem. Or you can uninstall them all and reinstall the ones you really care for. Or try messing around with the load order. Read description and comments for every mod you install.

Well, there is the popular NMM - Nexus mod manager, and with the new steam update load order in Workshop can be re-arranged. Probably wise, if not Steam technical support would probably turn into a hot line for people unable to understand the difference between user-generated content and official plug-ins hehe :p

Thanks for your help guys. Ill try your suggestions and see how they work out. Its not a virus because its only skyrim thats being laggy. Yes I have a few mods on there so thats probably the issue.

my sig was 1500usd at the time...and that was a couple of years ago...i had a hard time finding other laptops in the same price range with the same power...that being said...i know i could have gotten so much more if i built a desktop...but i needed the portability

I told you my specs are more than perfect. I basically have a super computer.

Did you download the high texture pack without considering the new specs for the game after installing it? Then that's your problem.
