*Second thing: you'd be surprised how many have borked their game using Console Commands See that section later in this guide which includes a video by Michael of GamerPoets. One way is to esl flag certain plugins using 圎dit. So if this is the case you must reduce the number of plugins and there are a few ways you can do this. Exceed 255 plugins and your game crashes. Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, Hearthfires.esm and Dragonborn.ESM, leaving 250 available for use by the player. Hope that cleared things up on the technical side.

A plugin in the 255 plugin slot would be using FF000000 to start off, and let's say it had an armor piece with the code FF0004B8. So if you've used the console to spawn in items and you type in the code for a specific item like 00039BE7 ? That item is in the first Plugin in your list, aka Skyrim.esm. The amount of records the game can run is 4,294,967,295, which translates to FF FF FF FF in HEX. The 255 Plugin limit is because plugins are loaded in a 32bit HEX dictionary of sorts. Therefore there is a max of 255 individual plugins. FF is reserved for items dynamically created in the game. FormIDs are 8bit strings, the leading two bits are used to indicate the source plugin. Enjoy.įirst thing to check if your modded game is crashingis that you are not over the 255 plug-in limitĭue to the way Skyrim handles FormIDs there is a 255 plugin limit.
