My understanding is that functions like PlaceAtMe will cause a player's save file to grow in size infinitely, and slow down gameplay. I know you just need to be careful, like delete the unnecessary references as you make them. But what else causes save bloat?

Like are there other well-known modding practices that should be learned to avoid negative user experiences? Curious if there is a link out there for modern oblivion modders. Been around for a while, but never made a public release.

Thanks!
