Missing ESPs in saved games when installing a new mod

Recommended Posts

When I install a new mod, start the game and try to load the latest save, it says that almost all the ESPs (including the original game files) are missing. That doesn't always happen, it happened a few times when I tried to install the following mods:
VIGILANT
The Forgotten City
Timing Is Everything
Shumer and the fall of Allagard (I already have Pirates of the North installed and don't know whether it includes this mod)
At first I thought that it happens only with large mods that add a lot of stuff/scripts, but Timing Is Everything is not a large mod. What could cause this problem?

Sounds like you've reached the plugin limit. Skyrim can only load up to 255 plugins (including the base game and DLC). Any more than that and the game will either crash or not load any plugins.

 

There are two options:

- Either remove some mods to make room for new ones, or

- Use a program like zMerge (part of matortheeternal's zEdit) to merge mod plugins.

 

Note that with either option you'll have to start a new save, as removing mods mid-game is detrimental to your save's stability.
