The limits of an ESP - Advice?

[JerisEnigma]

Assuming I have everything else in an ESM, can I safely edit EVERY NPC in one ESP?

Or should I split it by like Race or Hold, etc?

 

Things like Bijin edit a ton, but I haven't really seen any that cover *everybody*.

ESPs have a limit and I'm not sure how easy it is to hit with just Actor edits.

 

Basically, I'm redoing a personal overhaul, because I had a PC failure and have yet to retrieve anything from that hdd.

SO, rather than wait on that, I'm rebuilding it entirely, in a much more organized fashion this time.

 

It got very tedious un-esmifying things if I forgot something, going into the CK, then forgetting to re-esmify beforehand and having to reload 16 dependencies... once the CK feels like opening again! >.<;

There is now reason why all your edits cannot be in one esp.

Are there any warnings when you near the limit though?

 

I have a bad habit of doing too much work, without backing up the esp between ck saves, and have had to restart more than one mod from scratch lol

When you load Skyrim and all the DLC into the CK it can take about 65-70mb of other esp/esm's before it runs out of space and you have to start cutting down the vanilla esm's to make more room. You could edit every npc in the game and I doubt you would even hit 1mb; even falskaar is only 27mb.

Ah good, that's reassuring. Thanks, agerweb!
