My load time had become quite slow, and while I haven't been been crashing much recently (used to have more problems with CTD before I figured some things out), I was and am still looking for ways to optimize my game.

My laptop was really good three years ago - so now middling at best. Not outrageous choices of mods - almost all quite popular and well-reviewed - but a fair lot of them, and I don't always do it right - learning curve. I've done some uninstalls, and deactivated some mods after experimenting with them. Well, I do have multiple profiles, and have about 100 plugins installed now. I assume I am missing something obvious, but would appreciate any help. I see the save games over in the right pane, and can load and play those - but how do I copy them to: (a) make backups, or (b) clean the save? The last save I can find is from January 2016, just before I began running the game through Mod Organizer- SKSE. The problem I can't solve is that I can't find my save games to load up into Save Game Script Cleaner. After reading the reviews, I have downloaded and installed Save Game Script Cleaner, and have watched the tutorials. from activating and deactivating mods in my different profiles. I would like to clean up my save games to improve performance - I suspect I have a number of orphaned scripts, etc. I appreciate any help with what I am sure is a simple question - but I haven't been able to find the answer after some hours of searching. I am new to the forum and relatively new to Mod Organizer (about 2 months) and to Skyrim itself (about 4 months).
