Lag problem when running mods

[siviz4]

Okay so when I play the vanilla version of CK2 there are no problems whatsoever. However, when I try to run a mod ("a mod" meaning any of the three big ones out there - "Bella Gerant Alii", "CK2 Plus" and "The Prince and the Thane") the game runs exceptionally slow. First off the initial loading of the game takes like forever (about 10 minutes, compared to the 30 secs it takes to start the vanilla version). Secondly, and this is the game-breaking problem, everything I do in-game causes lag and temporary freezes. Wether I open a menu, select an army or anything else besides scrolling the map and pausing/unpausing the game freezes for a few seconds. It's impossible to play like this.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

Are other users of these mods getting this, or just you? If and only if it's just you, please post please post a dxdiag.txt (you can delete everything after the "Sound devices" section for brevity), settings.txt, system.log and error.log files (you'll need to rename the .log files to .txt to upload). If it is all users of these mods, the mod authors will have to address the issue.

I am unsure if anyone else have experienced the same problem, but I haven't seen anyone with it when looking through the mod threads. I've attached the requested files.

OK, I have to say I don't see a lot wrong in there. You could try turning off trees (edit settings.txt and set draw_trees=no) and running in a lower resolution. And do make sure you exit ALL other programs before you run the game up, as you are a little short of memory:

Memory: 3326MB RAM
Page File: 2944MB used, 8301MB available

If you have 64bit Vista you could upgrade to 8gb of Ram, but if it's 32bit you can't add any more.

I've already tried turning off trees (did nothing) and changing resolution (did nothing). It would be weird if my hardware specs was the problem as I can run the game perfectly well without mods. All they do is change balancing, adding traits and other things that demand nothing new of my hardware. I don't know, this is strange.
