Game not Recognizing any DLC or Mods as installed

[Midnight19]

as you can see my Mods and DLC are enabled

 

i Tried to start a new game, 

but instead of the Alternative start Dungeon

it starts the Vanilla Carriage scene. 

 

I only have 252 active plugins so I am not above the 256 Limit. 

does anyone have any Idea what to do ?

Method 1 is Try to Re enable That was missing
Method 2 You need to Reinstall mods all of them
Method 3 Use Loot and find what mods is missing

[Midnight19]

I didn't disable any of those things. 

its all enabled. according to loot.

How many deactivated Plugins do you have installed?

 

508 active and deactivated installed plugin limit

• Active and deactivated plugins count against that limit, sum of all installed plugins
• The upper limit might be lower,
  • from my experience staying ~450 plugins works best
• Symptoms with or with close to ~508 active and deactivated plugins:
  • Skyrim fails to load any plugins on game start causing the vanilla Skyrim intro to play as if no mods are installed
• Solution:
  • delete deactivated esp (make a backup of them if they are needed later)
  • uninstall mods that aren't needed anymore, instead of just deactivating the esp
  • delete esp of already merged plugins (make a backup of them if they are needed later)
  • Wrye Bash plugin ghosting
  • MO plugin ghosting
  • Nitpick 60
    • could it be so easy? Not tested.

?

Just to say:
Disable ( don't Uninstall) mods except: UPDATE and DLC, start a new game, when you have control in the console type:
coc_qasmoke or coc qasmoke

 

You probably know, you will be screened in a test room. If everything works, exit the game and re-enable the mods

 

Have you tried with Clean Save?

You can delete esp you used in a merge.

In case you want to rebuild or modify the merge keep the esp => just remove them from Skyrim/data, because they count against the plugin limit as long as there are located there.

For quick experiments you can delete the esp and keep them in the wastebin. From there you can recycle them anytime.

i did not know that their was a limit to disabled plugins as well as active ones. 

any way i didn't know you could do that with merge Plugins

i think ill put my merge esps in a folder.

I only keep esp of mods with bodyslide files (all those "armor" mods) because I had issues with UUNP armors missing their bodyslide modification if I removed the esp after a merge. I'm sure there is a workaround, it's on my ever growing "how to" list (guess I would need to rename BS output to fit the merge plugin name).

 

For more limits check this out, just found it while browsing the net:

Unless you have edited the esps or do not keep a copy of the archive then there is no point to keeping them.
