Actually, the 255 limit is architectural and the actual number is 256 because the count starts at 0. Forms are used to reference every unique entity in the game (items, locations, NPCs, lists, etc). The identifier for a form is a 32 bit string represented in the hexadecimal format xxyyyyyy. The yyyyyy is a unique number assigned by the Creation Kit or Xeditor when the form is created. The XX is the load sequence of the files of the game and is a two character hexadecimal representation of a eight bit binary number. As the two previous posters have pointed out, the game engine is where the load sequence numbers are assigned. To increase the number of files which can be loaded one would need to modify the underlying architecture of the basic game engine and redesign it to support a larger number of files. Now, some reality. The first file is always the base game, in this case Fallout 4; and it's sequence number is 0. That is then followed by any of the DLC and patch files. For Fallout 4 with all DLC you have the base game (0), Automatron (1), Contraptions Workshop(2), Far Harbor(3), Wasteland Workshop(4), Vault Tec Workshop(5) ,Nuka World (6), and the High Resolution Pack(7) . That is eight slots used already, so there are only 248 actual slots remaining for mods.

So what do you think "Support for additional player homes" means in the update notice? More home sites for Hearthfire?More room options for Hearthfire?More CC 'stuff'?

The specs for your card (https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-780/specifications) states " Support for 4k tiled MST displays requires 326.19 driver or later". Do you have the appropriate drivers installed?

What Video Card are you using. I ask 'cause if the Video Card does not support UHD, you will probably have issues when connected to a UHD monitor/TV.

Here is what the GECK says: http://geck.bethsoft.com/index.php?title=Weapons

Thanks Dark0ne. However, you have piqued my curiosity. What is the relationship between a banned user and an IP address getting on the 'banlist' as you referenced?

[EDIT] And no, except in extremely rare cases, the Nexus does NOT block IP addresses. And even if that were the case here, the VPN user could simply select a different one anyway (as I just did to run this test.) I see contradictory information. I used the term "blocked" to refer to the VPN IP address which belonged to a banned user and was not allowed to access Nexus. Thandal tells me No, IP addresses are not blocked. Now, Dark0ne says that IP addresses get placed on a "banlist". As I read it, a "banlist" IP is the semantic equivalent of a blocked IP. So Thandal, please get with Dark0ne and clarify. Are IP addresses blocked or banned or as you state " the Nexus does NOT block IP addresses"?

I have heard about this kind of thing with VPN before. When a user on Nexus is blocked, their IP address is also blocked. IUf that IP address is a VPN IP address, the VPN cannot access Nexus.

As I read the last two posts, I get the distinct impression that we are grasping at straw. And the wind is blowing hard. Gentlefolk, there is a threshold in the diagnostic process where the "let's try ..." becomes more painful and risky than the disease, and I think we are there. I have three voices clamoring for attention and I cannot twist myself enough to accommodate all three thought paths. Especially when responding to one comment raises the ire of someone else. I have a circumvention which works, albeit a kludge; but I can get what I need done. I would rather live with the circumvention which works and move on, as the "let's try ..." has moved beyond my comfort zone. This is the only box I have and until the money tree blooms, it will remain so. I am not going to deliberately break it to test a SWAG theory. Thank you for your endeavors. I am moving on.

I am not running DELL hardware. I was forced to use a Dell once and the support was so shoddy that I deliberately dropped the damned thing into a flooded gutter so I could get a new IBM ThinkPad (back before IBM sold the unit to Lenovo in China and Lenovo started putting spyware on the machines). All apps and games are installed in the default locations with default settings (with one setting exception). Long ago I learned the hard way not to muck with install paths. The only GECK setting I have changed is the one which allows me to have multiple masters (bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 in geckcustom.ini). The green header is a windows (Windows > Settings > Personalization > Colors) setting. The default blue washes out my vision. When I did the uninstall (Windows > Settings > Apps > Apps and Features > Geck - New Vegas Edition > Uninstall ), I went to C:\Users\&&user\Documents\My Games\FalloutNV to delete the geckcustom.ini and geckperf.ini files, but they where not there. I assume that the Uninstall deleted them, because upon re-installed they were back and I had to reset the switch to allow for Multiple masters (bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1) in geckcustom.ini. I'm a software guy. I don't do hardware. This configuration has been stable for a couple of years with no changes or additions with the exception of a replacement for a desktop rodent which was dropped under a chair roller, but the same device as the original was used used to replace the rather broken one. The only driver which has any recent activity was the drivers for the Video cards (2 - AMD Radeon R7 200 series), which get regular updates from AMD. My operating system is MS Windows 10, 64 bit. I have 32gb of DRAM, My CPU is a AMD FX-4350 Quad-Core.

I did the GECK uninstall/reinstall iteration already. That was one of the first things I tried. It had no effect. Now, for the sake of clarity, I will restate the biggest symptom which (to my eyes) precludes the drivers. When I first open the GECK, the conditions settings are visible in the PERK form. However after updating a few forms, the conditions in the perk form no longer show up. I save, close the GECK, reboot the PC, Open the GECK and the conditions in the PERK form show up again. So this is a creeping problem of some sort which is cleared during a reboot as just closing and reopening the GECK does not clear the problem. I discovered this means of resetting the error condition serendipitously after my original post, but I have verified that it works several times and mentioned it when I first pointed out that the proposed solution to correct "squished" columns was not successful. And as I was verifying my facts for this post, I made another discovery which makes me even more confused. I have a perk with five conditions. I edited it and changed the values for the conditions. I saved the Perk form, and went off to edit a weapon form. I then went back and opened the perk form, but only the first condition was visible. The last four where not shown. I got a screenshot to show you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s5gned47pk3jgso/The%20symptom.PNG?dl=0 And before anyone asks, I tried to grab the bottom row and pull down. No no joy, no line and arrows. I will edit for the "how it should look" snapshot after I reboot. And here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/w6tl4nw4rm2hdv3/After%20reboot.PNG?dl=0 Now, could a Steam update affect the performance of the GECK?

Okay, we'll start there. I am unappreciative of condescension. So if you wish to receive what you obviously perceive as a more appropriate attitude, start with one. I am not normally a verbose person and tend to stick to facts instead of rambling on about information that has no bearing on the problem at hand. But I will grant your wish. Yes, I am using Windows 10. Like most folks, I awoke one morning to find that it had been shoved down my throat or up my ... you get the picture. Yes, I used the number pad. It is actually the only place with a '+' key besides the shift of the '=" key. And since you said CNTL plus '+' and not CNTL plus 'shift equal', I made the logical assumption that you meant the '+' key on the number pad. No, I cannot drag the column edges. The little bar with the arrows which normally shows up to tell me that I can grasp and drag column edges does not show up. As for your test scenario, I opened Ghastly Scavenger and there was the conditions; HasPerk Cannibal. So your test only verifies that veracity of the first part of my earlier statement. "I did discover that rebooting and reloading the CK did make the conditions show up for a while. But alas, that was shot lived." I hope I have satisfactorily answered your questions. Now, would you like to start over? Or do you wish to continue the exercise of vocabulary?

And still, through all the self congratulatory comments about the Troubleshooting guide, it is lost that your "solution" didn't work. I had to reboot and reload to get the conditions to show up for a even a little while. Then they would disappear and all the CNTL+ key mashing in the world wouldn't make them come back. So my symptoms are as described. But my solution lies elsewhere.

There is a formlist which has all of the "hold out" weapons (weapons that can be smuggled into casinos). But it is woefully incomplete. The weapons and knives from the DLC are missing. I have started a mod to update this form, but I do not have a complete list. So far, I have added: The .45 caliber pistol and the unique Light Shining in Darkness. Compliance Regulator Firebomb The Bowie Knife and the unique Blood Nap. Flare Gun The Weathered 10mm Pistol. Broad Machete That Gun Lil' Devil (unique 12.7 pistol) (GRA) 5.56 Pistol (GRA) Hunting Revolver (GRA) Plasma Defender (GRA) MF Hyperbreeder Alpha (GRA) Ripper (GRA) All five Variants of the Sonic Emitter. All three variants of the Cosmic Knife Police Pistol Bear Trap Fist And then I drew a blank. I went through the GECK, but there are still some missing. So pleases, If you know of a Hand2HandMelee, 1handpistol(energy) or 1handmelee weapon that can be reasonably concealed, please feed the list. I already ruled out the nail gun, the Katana and the skishkabab for obvious reasons.
