why i am not able to have any more mods in my plugins ?

[Mr. Smith]

hi everyone i have recently downloaded mods but when i try to tick them in the plugin list in MO and run loot or scroll up and down i see them untickled.why?
in the past few days i was hearing something about the 3.1 limit in modding, is my problem related to this limt in any case ?
as i saying i have many mods so i thought maybe i can`t install any more. i have 254 plugins  
so what i need you to tell me is that what is the 3.1 limit ? explain me that
and how to know i have reached this limit ?
and if i have reached that limit is there any way to extend this limit ?

please help me and you can ask me about more info if you need

The limit for any Bethesda game plugin wise is 254 plugins. There is no way to extend this limit due to the fact that is the max amount the game engine can handle.

 

You could try merging some mods, like armour mods, weapon mods together which will give you some plugin space back.

Also each dlc counts against that limit as well.  Plus the Update.esm also counts.  So a legal (and updated) copy of Skyrim (Skyrim + Update) actually starts at 253 available slots.  With all the 3 dlc, now down to 250.

Use this

 

Easiest way

Technical reason is because mods are identified by the first two numbers (hex) in the load order. And Hex 00 -> FF happens to be 256. The engine might even be able to handle more, but it's limited by that design.
