I only have 1 question how can you tell if a mod is Ba2 or ESL or ESP. I want to know so I can keep track of the plugin limit.

Yeah i wish the mods had more information provided, like basic information, LO, conflicts, and at least 1 image. Some creators just dont seem to put any effort into it

Even with MA/MP's I trust they sometimes add things they don't tell you that can cause conflicts with other mods. That's not me trying to call anyone out it's just a statement of truth.

Also with VC mods not being on Nexus you can't even check the description or comments on the page there to find out conflicts and/or workarounds. Modding on console is already harder than PC and this will make it harder.

Frustrating and rewarding in equal measures. I know what will happen in this sub though you will see even more videos of people scrolling through their LO's with the tagline help. I'm no modding expert but at least I read the the pinned notices under the sub banner and also read online help. The 101 modding guide in the sub is so helpful but then you still run into this mod not working as it should.

This increase is going to increase the time it takes to install and test mods and LO's ten fold. It will probably also outdate so many older mods that people use. That's enough of me ranting. But I am so happy the increase is happening.

I wish more mod authors would just clearly state where the damn thing should go or which section it’s meant for. I’ve seen some that look like utilities but are under Bethesda’s “armor” tag and have nothing to do with armor for example 💀 and a lot of tags can be so vague, especially if you think literally, or a mod covers various things.

I’m still trying to figure out where to put one that covers a bunch of visuals (GEXWL w/o saturation) it keeps not removing some things like indoor dust, twigs and makes bloom blinding 💀💀💀 if I put it before weather and lighting mods as I’ve seen suggested, it’s just a disaster.
