Anyone else having a problem with this? It seems like the more mods I install the longer it takes to load. Whats the fix?

Whats the fix? > yep, thats about right. the game is reading the rfm files and all the paths directed in the rfm files. so the more mods, the longer it takes to load. I've got to the stage I only have a couple of mods installed at once. cheers steve

Agreed. My method is to have dual installs. Identical setups and use one as a "test lab" and the other as the final stop of rF goodness. I can check out the new stuff and decide what it is worthwhile (for me) and what to discard. If the test bed gets hosed from the install/uninstall/reinstall routine, I lose nothing. Take up some space on the HD, but it's cheap enough nowadays.

It works for me. regards, Mel
