Do ESL's Count towards max plugins

[1Carnage1]

I am using Mod Organizer 2, and it says I have 277 plugins. 167 are ESP and ESM, and 116 are ESL. Does the ESL plugins count towards the max 255 plugin limit?

[Helmsmasher]

No they don't.

ESL, ESP flagged ESL & ESM flagged ESL do not count against the ESM / ESP limit

 

That said, there is a total record limit allowed in the ESL space. Most users should never reach that, but there is a technical limit.

Nexus mod manager you reach 255 limit even with esl plugins. No matter what your using when you add a new plugin it counts. I keep hearing this esls dont count but they do with nmm. Is this feature only for mo2 & vortex?

It's a feature of the game. If your NMM is incorrectly reporting that you hit the limit then that is a mistake. Are you using the most recent community update for NMM?

I use NMM Community Edition and have 260 plugins and NMM has no problem with that as about a third are esl.

 

I believe there is a communication problem with saying that a new plugin in "counts". Of course the plugin counts, it just does not count toward the plugin limit of 255.

'Light' mods are limited to a maximum of 4096. (their slots are indexed by 3 hex digits, from 0x000 to 0xFFF), and a light mod can only have up to 2048 of its own forms (internal IDs ranging from 0x800 to 0xFFF)
