The Biannual-Out: Beware of Bill Aims! :O

PS3 can't really handle mods that increase spawns. Framerate suffers with more npc's etc in an area and if your save is large enough in size then such a mod is more likely to crash the game.
Maybe a faster respawn mod would be ok (change from 3 days or whatever to 24 hours), but all that is doing is changing wait/sleep time from 3 days to 1

There's a also a tweak that removes fog from dungeons, actually rather handy on PS3 as the fog is just something extra taxing the system. Removing it is beneficial.
I run quiet feet max as well, it basically removes foot steps audio of 4 legged creatures including horses. Audio for those is bugged in this game and using that mod is a fix as such which also helps performance.

I haven't noticed any frame loss with other npcs around or in caves

That arrows mod I posted isn't really a cheat. I mean it doesn't make bows OP.
Just gives a slight boost to make using bows more balanced and enjoyable. It doesn't make using an iron bow + iron arrows an uber sniping weapon from game start.

I've always liked using bows in TES games myself.

The party hard spell is sort of like a cheat I guess but it's more about some mayhem if you feel like it You have to go get it from a vendor though ( 0 gold price) so a lot of people wouldn't actually call it a cheat.

I don't tend to use a bow much. I was disappointed by the lack of spears/poles in TES

You should notice some slow down at some point once your save file gets higher than 5MB. Always happens with Beth games on PS3.
Although Oblivion isn't as bad as New Vegas which can get really terrible later on especially if you use laser and plasma weapons.

Believe me I'm not crazy these games have issues on this platform, removing fog may not make any noticeable difference early on but later in the game you really need any help you can get.
Also try to get into the habit of not simply dumping unwanted stuff on the ground from your inventory.

Agreed. Gotta roll those OP sneak archer builds.

They are noted for being train wrecks in fact.

I believe the save file bloat issue existed on PC as well. But why fix your game, when you can just push that shit out to the public and let modders take care of it.

I had a real fun one in Red Dead Redemption. I somehow got to a point where the game crashed every time a particular cutscene started. Fortunately patching the game fixed it and I was able to finish the game.

I never had any trouble with it that I can remember.

Yeah, neither did I, I think you had to let it get massssssive before it became a problem in regards to the PC version. I could be wrong though and maybe it was just on console. Either way it's not an excuse.

is this where the party is at?
