How many mods do you have enabled rn ?

[Icarus]

And can you have too many ? Also what mod manager are you using ? And what are your top 5 fav mods ? Im new to modding games and im soo into it rn lol

I just started my 2nd modded playthrough and from the 30 something mods i had in the first one im now at 322 enabled mods xD

Ofc i know that some players have 1k+ mods but 300 is still alot imo . overwhelming tbh and i dont think i will ever finish this playthough lol the amount of free content is crazy , dlc sized quest mods , new lands , a ton of visual mods etc. My skyrim looks like a modern game basically , its very impressive how the community took over and kept this game alive for so long

It took me a couple of days to make everything work together and i kept running into problems soon after starting a new game so i had to keep going back , fix things one at a time and restart a new game (so i wont be able to blame the existing save for problems xD)

The modding community was super helpful too , its a gem in todays gaming world i have to say

IIRC there's a hard limit of 255 esp/esm and 4096 esl file.
(Technically 254 since all esl files are combined into 1 virtual esp)

Other than that, you can have thousands of mods if you want to.

That said, I currently have 510 active mods and 421 active plugins.

Just add the mods you want to have in your game, with respect to its stability. I have spent (or wasted?) hours to have a load order of 648 plugins. MO2 is even struggling with the enormous list that I have. Most of my time were spent with stability checks and manual patching. I even had to ditch LOOT support because of its sorting inaccuracy that is caused by the number of plugins I have. Some mods do require a lot plugins and patching such as Apothecary or Crafting Overhaul Remastered mod, in conjugation with other mods (I have too many armor/weapon mods, but that's for having lots of diversity ingame ...) that I have to get or create additional patches to get it right.

I often see people teasing a person that "only" has 30 mods, but that's not the right mindset. If this person considers these 30 mods enough for his game, please accept that. It's a matter of having fun with this game.

I am running 64 mods. There are perhaps a handful more I may consider in the future. I have had up to 120 mods in the past. There are not many more mods I would want in my game.

[SpeedFreak1972]

802 mods and 1389 plugins ...... LOTS of patches

After years of modding both on PC and Xbox I have narrowed my mod list down to 42 essential mods. I use Vortex because I'm lazy. Top 5 mods gotta be:
1. Requiem - The Roleplaying Overhaul
2. USSEP
3. Cutting Room Floor
4. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma
5. (Oddly enough) Fixed Body Collision lol cant break the immersion!
If I ran a load order with just these mods I would be able to play for the rest of my life tbh

53. I don't know how some of you have so many. I used to have 70 but there would be conflicts and they would stop making others work.

That's the Skyrim modding experience right there.

Mod it, break it, cry yourself to sleep, try again.

I play strictly vanilla :)

[Stropha]

Right now I've got 766 mods installed. Not that much, but it's something.

[Papa john]

i have 778 mods installed rn
planning on installing more for my next playthrough tho
that'll be after i go through and play daggerfall- oblivion tho

[Altbert]

Somewhere between 250 and 300. Lore friendly and as close to the original game as I can get. Nothing fancy or over the top, nothing from other games.

Nexus mod site + Vortex downloader.
Children of the gods
Experience ( start with low difficulty until you get used to it )
Infinite stamina out of combat
Legacy of the Dragonborn
Better Jumping ( jump while moving)
Optional:
Live Another Life + additional starts + guildmaster start + Dragonborn start( skips part of the start )
configurable perks per level
Prisoner cart fix (because i use random with Live Another Life and too many mods can break the start for some odd reason)
