Sometimes when I download a mod, Skyrim tells me every file is missing...

This is just bizarre, and it started just a few days ago. So, sometimes when I download a new mod and try to load up a save or start a new game, I get that classic "content missing" error. You know, the one that happens when you accidentally turned off a mod? Well, the weird thing is that every single esp and esm is apparently off. Even Skyrim.esm. Here's the kicker though: it's lying. In mod organizer, every file I need to be on is on, and the moment I turn off the mod I just downloaded everything is back to normal.

 

This seemingly happens at random. Since it started it's happened more often than not, but sometimes things just go back to normal on their own, and I can download and use mods normally. I don't see any pattern in the mods I'm downloading, and I'm wondering what could be causing such a strange error to happen in the first place. Here are the mods I've tried to download that have caused this issue:

 

-Audio Overhaul for Skyrim (successfully downloaded now)

 

-Realistic AI Detection (successfully downloaded now)

 

-Become a bard (still causing the problem)

 

-Investment Price Configuration (successfully downloaded now)

 

-Trade and Barter (successfully downloaded now)

 

-Schools of the Hold (stil causing problems)

 

-Religion (still causing problems)

 

Between these mods listed there were maybe one or two that never gave me any problems. So yeah, does anyone know what the heck is happening?

I know this happens when you go over 255 plugins, as that is all the engine can handle.

That could be it then! Weird since there's no other problems with my game and it runs fine, but I do have a s*** ton of mods. This has never happened before though and I think I've gone over before. Could there be any other reason for this? Either way I'll turn some stuff off and see if this works. Thanks!

 

Edit: Yup, that was the problem. I turned off some mods I didn't need and everything is working now!
