crystallizedatrophy

i've only added 3 new plugins cause i wanted them but here is my plugin list (sorry not quite sure how to do the spoiler list)

I am 100% sure of the merged weapons. I went through that three times today just to make sure all those were unticked. Pretty sure the hidings are hide as well but I can triple check. And with the everything being dark it seems to have happened after doing the boulder dome mod, starting a new save fixed it but I haven't had too much trouble with the save i've been running F&L NV. Still i've read that i am supposed to have closer to 140 plugins rather than 150 so was wondering what wasn't working/loading correctly.

Followed the guide, and i still come out with 153 total plugins according to loot. Went through the guide again, and again and again with a finetooth comb, i am 98% all the optional esps have been moved. And the bashed patch only unticks 21 esps yet i am still at 153, i have redone the bashed patch like 20 times same outcome. The game loads up and plays but somethings are missing (guessing cause of high plugin count). Also not sure what is causing it but the game is pretty damn dark during the day, i mean i have it on full brightness around noon in game and it's almost as dark as dusk. Help?
