   Congratulations!
   Idk how many hours I have in total since most of my playing was done on the xbox 360, but I'm nearing 1300 myself on steam.
   If you mean 1300-hours on 1 file, then this is awe inspiring.

      : Actually it is possible. When going to the manual saves menu, the numbers in the middle shows how much gameplay time you have done in Hours / Minutes / Seconds
      
      

      

      
      
      1300 Hours in one gameplay is possible. I did several manual save files for backup just in case something went wrong (like dead end bugs) which happened few times. I find ironic that in my game, when the gameplay timer reached 1200h, it reset back to 0. Bethesda didn't though an user would not play a game like this for hundreds of hours.
      
      I probably have more than 1300h combining with all my previous gameplays. The Radeon Software from my Graphic Card recorded + 1900 hours of gameplay, but I probably have much more than 2000 because I played Skyrim much before I added this software monitoring my gameplay time. I know Skyrim for 4.5 years already. At least 1/4 of my gameplay was about mod development tests.

      Sorry lol. I didn't mean to imply it was impossible. I meant I cannot calculate information I no longer possess. I still have my 360, but many of my saves no longer exist on it, and so I cannot even begin to guess how many hours I have accumulated in total. Might be near 7000 considering how much I've played since 11.11.11
      I usually make manual saves, and right now my main file is at *436.58.25, and 1214.5 on steam, but I still find it impressive you have reached over 1300 on one file.
      I'm starting a new file soon, not because of bugs but so I can install moar new quest mods. Although I'm anticipating bugs if I keep playing too..
      It always begins bugging out around *500hours or so for me no matter what I do. Large file size + other bloat will do that.
      It's good you make backups too.
      Happy adventures, cALAMIN.

      : I rarely got issues related to longer gameplay time, I had it several times when I first played Skyrim, even without mods.
      
      Currently I have +120 mods, all them optimised, cleaned with TesVEdit, Wyre Bashed + SKSE with Crash Fixes and Skyrim Startup Memory Editor plugins. The only crashes I ever had with this +1300h of gameplay were the random ones which are perfectly normal due to the game's engine, specially because my Skyrim is the Legendary Edition.
      
      If there's something that also saved my life was the Console to deal with things that out of nothing decided to bug. Independent of how many hours you play Skyrim, there will be always a Quest or something that will not fire properly by the engine, even if you have played the game for just 10 hours. This is expected, sadly, and you have to deal with it either using your previous saves or the Console.
      
      My game also have several Quest and Dungeon mods and the best trick is you adding one by one. Complete one then install another, not everything at once as this weights a lot your save. My current saves have 45Mb, at least I never encountered save bloats.
