indeed. great detective work! i just started getting this problem. i think it may be my last straw. been messing w/ skyrim since the beginning, and this may do me in. would like to try and salvage the playthrough i'm in. a terrible idea to start yanking MCM mods and script heavy mods mid-game i'm sure. i wonder if it might not be too terribly detrimental to use Tesedit to remove just the MCM menus of a few mods? don't think that would screw things up as much as removing the whole mod? i definitely have a few mods that don't even need the MCM

i know of the 255 plugin limit (it's actually 253 for me for some reason), and i know that a total of 508 plugins can be in the Data folder according to NMM (abd that's true for me as i tested it). but i'm having an issue that seems like strictly a "too many esms" problem. if i add one more esm of any mod, i can load my save but any subsequent save will not load and the Save Cleaner will crash when opening said save. Papyrus Data Transfer calls them corrupt as well. i can add more esps and i'm not close to those limits stated above, but 1 more esm borks things. i've got a ton of merged mods and around 35-36 esms, which include the last separate USKPs (i don't think i can update to USLEEP because i hear the scripts to update mods to work w/ usleep won't work w/ large merges. and i can't rebuild some of my merges since some mods are no longer available. plus i'm midgame) so...any know if there's a certain amount of ESMs that can be used?

yep been using ugridstoload since it came out, so i most certainly can switch to 5. in fact i just did and played for awhile. seems fine cept for i'm getting no grass. probably an ini setting that i'd need to change for the lower ugrids. also there's a more complicated way to change them that doesn't rely on stable ugridtoload mod. i've done that one before too and it worked fine. it entailed changing the ini from ingame and using refiini or something. point is, i know i CAN change them to 5 mid game...but SHOULD i? will it bork quests, AI, something? if so, then i'll stick w/ what i have now and use Dyndolod next game

welp ready to give this puppy a try, and do away with my years long romance w/ ugrids 7. but is it okay to switch back to default ugrids 5 in the middle of a playthrough? i'm like half done

i figured thanks

does using MO allow for a faster smoother game and better perf, since all the assets are not in the game folder? i'm guessing not but was curious

using REGS for long time and love it. would like to install Snow City (Windhelm) but seems there's huge navmesh conflicts with it and REGs and REGS 3DNPC patch. any fix patch around? or perhaps tutorial on how to tweak the nav.

i installed the new compat patch for Dawn of Riften and JK's Riften. looks great, but i get navmesh problems over at the exit to the docks, by the smelter. npcs just stand about 4 feet from the door. they either can't get to the door, or they enter from the docks and can't get but a few feet inside. this didn't happen w/ the REGS Riften 3dnpc NavFull esp alone. i put the jkdawn patch above or below regs fullnav, but doesn't matter any ideas? thanks

i'm gonna put this here since Google searching for vamp face mismatches lead me here. this mod totally fixed my issues! hope it does for you. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36439/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D36439&pUp=1

hmm, after testing a bit, i'm really sure load does matter. when i put RS-ELFX high in the load i get pure white blocks, squares, candles and certain structures (like rafters and columns in whiterun hall of the gead). they are pure white and MFG Cosole shows the items as being affected by elfx. they get worse if i use candlelight spell or a torch. if i put RSELFX below elfx, then all looks good. and that's fine. i just don't want any of elfx's dramatic look changed at all bt RS unless it's just the simple light source correction

thank you much!

ooh thanks. i had the same question. i'll ask another here rather than make a topic... does this Alt Relighting go above or below ELFX? i hand order plugins til next game, then i'll use loot

instant CTD when touching the main Help menu. i know i used to be able to open it but probably haven't touched it in a year. any ideas what could cause this?
