A 255 plugin limit!? really?? I have more ♥♥♥♥ to add......

[Charlie Brown]

Heard you can merge some plugins together but I do not know that extensive in tweaking in skyrim. Anyone care to elaborate?

Dude... Just use the Nexus Mod Manager! You can add as many mods as you want

I am using nexus mod manager (had a error that 255 was the limit), the game itself is hard coded 255 limit.

I have 550+ mods o_O Weird..

There's your problem right there. You're using Nexus Mod Manager. That's for lightweights. You've clearly outgrown it.

Mod Organizer has a feature that lets you install some mods without the .esp. That way they don't count toward your 255 limit.

If you create a bashed patch with Wyre Bash, that will merge other simple .esp's too. After that, you can manually merge .esp's together although that's beyond my skills.

How do you install some mods without the .esp? so use only Wyre Bash?

Print out a loot list or whatever you are using for your load order so we all can see this amazing feat.

The limit is for esp/esm files.

Merge plugins using the TES5Edit script found on the Nexus pages.
There's a step-by-step guide on the basics in the description.

Very easy to do.

Also, how often do you crash with that many mods active?

There aren't 255 mods worth using on the Nexus... I don't get it. Are your standards incredibly low or something?

In the mod organizer Archives tab, check "Have MO manage archives". Then in the plugins tab Mod Organizer will display an icon next to dummy esp's that are not needed. Then in the Optional ESP's tab of the mod, click the up arrow button.

As for Wyre Bash...

Create a Bashed Patch using STEP as a general guide:
http://wiki.step-project.com/Bashed_Patch#Recommendations

As part of that process, Wyre Bash will automatically prompt you to merge any esp's it can into the bashed patch.

Your standards are so much higher! You're amazing!
You know people are talking about a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, right?

[SpeedFreak1972]

well I'm way beyond 255 mods however 212 esp/esm's atm a couple in a bashed patch and the rest is without esp's. Yes I can fill it till 255 easily however a bit of caution with that, because otherwise the scripting engine becomes way to slow.

There are way, way more than 255 mods worth using on Nexus. And by the way, the limitation is in esm and esp files, not just mods.

You only have 255 *plugins*. the only way to get 550+ *mods* is to *merge plugins*. which is what the OP is asking for help doing.
