LocknLoadJessie Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I'm using Nexus Mod Manager Community Edition and I never ran into the mod limit, until today. Now I know the limit is 255 mods, but elsewhere on the interwebs it says 255 plugins. I've looked at the bottom right of NMM, and here's what I have: Total plugins: 254 / Active plugins: 219 (251) / Total mods: 255 / Active mods: 255 I'd just like to have a better understanding about the limit and what numbers above should I check in order not to overpass the mod limit (which I know is hardwired into the game). Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 You can have a maximum of 255 active esp/esm files. esl files, or esp's flagged as esl don't count toward that limit. That number includes the base game files. Having mod files in your data directory, that are NOT active, can be problematic, but, with more recent versions of NMM, that shouldn't be an issue, due to the way NMM 'installs' mods.

LocknLoadJessie Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 Okay, but why is my number of active plugins shows 219 with 251 in brackets? Which one represents the limits not to exceed? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Good question. :) It seems the NMM Wiki hasn't been updated in quite some time..... even though that's where the help link goes. Both numbers are less than 255 though, so, you *should* be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
