When is it considered too many mods?

[Rokabur]

When you're finding brand new places in Oblivion or you get quests and you have no idea where they're from, does that mean you have too many mods installed?

[Gaebrial]

Too many mods? Is there such a thing?

The only time you could conceivably have too many mods is when you have more than 255, so you can't select them all. But all that tells you is that it's time to load Tes4Gecko and merge some of them.

I found that at 254 everything was just fine---at 255 the game kept crashing.

Otherwise, I like to discover places that weren't there before--keeps the game interesting. (Sometimes you go: 'Was that there before? Did I just miss it? How could I miss it?)

Hope I can figure out Tes4Gecko cause I wanna try to merge 29 of my race mods to free up some space lol.

Yeah. I just meant there are times I'm wondering around Oblivion and I'm coming across places or getting quests that weren't there before and I'm going "Where the fuck did this come from?"

Yay for Tes4Gecko! Wrye Bash and Tes4Gecko together I've saved around 44 plugin slots. Thanks for the heads-up on Tes4Gecko Gaeb. I remembered seeinbg someone mention it in a post about merging plugins but I couldn't remember what it was called.

Be careful on merging any mods that have scripts. Armor/weapon/clothes mods are typically fine.

I just wanted to merge most of the beast race mods since I had so many. Tes4Gecko took me to 197/255 mods for Oblivion. 7 I couldn't merge. 4 had a patch that added them as NPC's to cities,2 were required for CM partners and last 1 just kept bringing up some kind of error.

Possibly might have a few too many quest mods. I've found least 30-40 locations and I have less then zero idea which mod they go too lol.

Well I don't know about there being too many mods, but I have about 4.25Gigs worth of mods installed in mine, and I haven't experienced any technical problems worth mentioning :/

I think when your game crashes after a few hours...it's time to scale back on the mods...or increase your computing power.

[The Mad God]

There is no restriction to how many mods you should ever have. Keep modding and only stop when you are as satisfied as you will ever be with your game.

How many mods you have installed though? Some mods are pretty big in size.

[The Mad God]

No mod that I know of is more than 2 gigs. Qarls texture pack is around two gigs but that's because it's a massive texture replacer.

Yeah, counting the game & the mods extracted to it's folder equals to about 19Gigs for me. So yeah, looks like I have 94GB more to measure up to haha. Unless someone has a larger size 8(
