I'm sorry if this is off-topic, but I don't know where I could write this, and the search engine hasn't been working for ages...

Particularly after installing IA, the game has become quite slow in urban areas, and I think that's due to a quite big override folder (1.5 GB, and my computer doesn't have a huge RAM). I think I should biff the game, but... how can I do it? Does biffing still leave some backup files or do I have to backup manually, if I have to uninstall/update/... mods later?

Had you read this, the last point will tell you...

The Gen Bif mod is the answer to your prays, it can be uninstalled and it will biff everything that can be, and the rest can actually be thrown to garbage(as they are unused).

Just to inform you, the Biffing takes some time as the resources are actually copied and then moved, so it can take hours to actually get a biffed game... of course the last time I made my BWS game, the GenBif'fing was still doing things the difficult way and apparently it caused a small delay, but it took 2 and half hours to install.
