That's bad news, having no knowledge in modding whatsoever, I won't be able to reproduce your trick. Do you know if removing heavy strings mods when approaching the limit (granted they can be removed without causing other damages) can reduce the number of strings on an existing save? EDIT: I just did the test myself and it seems removing mods on a current saves decrease indeed the number of strings. It may be a solution for those approaching the hard limit in order to keep playing for a while.

You mean then, that no matter if the save loads, it will be broken anyway? What kind of problems are we likely to face when keeping playing on further saves? On the other hand, there is still no workaround on skyrim SE (similar as crash fixes for LE)?

Do we know if hitting the 65,535 strings limit also corrupts our saves for good on skyrim SE, with no hope for loading the save again? I find my strings number growing a little bit too fast (48k at lvl 15) and I'm afraid of losing my save prematurely. I have the hope though, that Skyrim SE manages the strings differently than Skyrim LE. Anyone can confirm this?
