Rise up, my VR brothers and sisters, for our time has come!
Today we also bask in the holy light of ESL-files!



 

  • WHAT THIS MOD DOES:


Skyrim SE/AE users enjoy access to ESL files. This is something that pretty much revolutionized modding as we know it when Bethesda added these types of files when they launched Special Edition. ESL files (or ESP/ESM files flagged as ESL) do not increase your plugin count, meaning you can go over the limit of 254 esp files. This is the reason why load orders with thousands of mods are possible.

Until now, Skyrim VR didn't have support for ESL files, as these files would count towards our load order limit. This means we could only install 254 mods or use merges. This changes now thanks to this mod. 

 

  • INSTALLATION


Install with your mod manager, like any other mod. Load order doesn't matter.

WARNING: Beta Vortex needed to recognize light plugins. https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/13460178-how-to-use-light-plugins-with-vortex/


 

  • NEW SAVE RECOMMENDED


Given the big change from ESPs-only to now supporting ESLs + ESPs, a new save is highly recommended. Use an old save at your own risk

Also: SKSEVR specific mods will need to use an API to access loaded ESL files (see below). This doesn't apply to most mods, but we recommend not ESLifying mods that come bundled with a DLL (VRIK, HIGGS as an example) to be on the safe side in case they want to lookup their mod to check if they are loaded.



 

  • DOCUMENTATION FOR SKSEVR MOD AUTHORS:


If you are the mod author of a SKSEVR plugin, you can easily add support for your mod to look up ESL files. Read the documentation to find out how (and reach out if you need help.)

Heavy lifting by Nightfallstorm. He spent crazy time implementing code where I was just cheering him on. He also fixed my (alandtse) buggy hooks/code while I was sleeping. 
Thanks to Alandtse, for his massive help in making this mod come true. It wouldn't be possible without him. 
Thanks to Nukem for permission to backport the backported ESL support mod to VR for the extended ESL support!
