I had this issue many times. I was if I exceeded the number of mods that the game could handle. Same result every time - ice spells spewing from head, MCM resetting, quests resetting as if it was a new game, equipment suddenly gone. I experimented with this at least 6 times now by intentionally trying to exceed the limit with different size mods e.g. expansions vs simple changes. Sometimes it was 288, sometimes 322, and everything in between. The warning sign that this was about to occur was the Reference Count. If it exceeded 900,000 (the dungeon packs are brutal for that), then I knew the end was close. Another issue is that when you exceed the mod limit you can load and save the game - you can even reload the game from the main game. But, when you fully exit and start again the next time, the _____________ hits the fan. The problem is that once you exceed the limit and this happens, I had to go in and manually take out every part of the mods exceeding the limit - just unchecking the mod(s) from MO2 or Vortex did not change everything. For a simple mod it might take 5 minutes. For a large expansion it took me 1.5 to 2 hours. Painful. Then I had to delate all saves etc.

Any ideas on what would cause my Logitech F710 Controller to not work anymore post 1.2 patch (no, not a trick question). I suspect it is the patch, but it could be coincidence too. Background: Worked for 11 hours playing up to November 12. Went on vacation for 2 weeks. Got home and turned on game. Controller "B" button - or rather tthe "Exit" function - no longer works. Reloaded disc; got newest software on line; went in and redid the properties; deleted the SkyrimPrefs.ini; and downloaded the 360 perameters - nothing works. Controller works fine on other games .e.g. Oblivion. Ditto for Exit button. B button works when reassigned as say "jump" or cast spells. It is the Exit function that is gone. Tried pressing every button on the controller when in a conversation, looting bodies, etc. Nothing works. When I press the action / activate button when looting a body, I wind up taking everything. Logitech Tech Support had no ideas as to cause - said the B button works fine when it is configured with another function so not their problem. Downloaded a few other programs for programming controllers - no change. Problem: The B button - used for Exit from such things as lotting bodies, chests, etc and for exiting buying / selling with NPCs no longer works. I have to turn off the controller, turn on the keyboard and exit woth the keybaord (not a big keyboard fan hence controller). When the Exit function is reassigned to say X or A buttons, it still does not work. Again, everything was fine until 3 days ago when I got back and turned on the computer. Any issues with the 360 wireless controllers? Maybe I should buy one or wait until post patch 1.3 to see what is _________ up after that. Thanks for any help.
