aarchieee Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Why is it that some plugins in vortex are being regularly disabled (with no input from me) in vortex ? i.e. Improved Snow-obsidian weathers.esp, katana-wounds.esp and a couple of others ? So i have to ( assumedly) re-enable them before i start playing again ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 FYI - this can happen if you are using more than the 254-esp (not flagged esl) limit. Might also be some sort of version mismatch between your Skyrim version and a compatible mod version. I am sure that there are other causes, as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. relatively new to modding (skyrim that is) Would that be the " Active " and "light " comment on the right side of the orange bar on the plugins section ? Is the limit number the Active total or the light total or the sum of both added together ? Active in mine is 131, Light is 208. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7531Leonidas Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Light=.espfe. You could also search the Vortex Support forum for 'plugins disabled', or something similar. AFAIK, only the Vortex-listed 'Active' plugins are the ones constrained by the .esp limit. I forgot to add earlier - if you somehow 'bounce' back and forth between Vortex and the Beth mod management in the menu, this can cause plugin deactivations. Use/access only one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply. Great info. Last question. if the esp limit is constrained to 254, how do people get around that with a couple of thousand mods+ installed ? ( i dont use Beths mod management) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorrp10 Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 One can have at most 254 "full size" plugins (which allow about 16 million forms) However, one also can have up to 4096 "light" plugins which offer capacity up to 2k forms (4k as of 1.6.1130) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
