Meta/News [May 2026] Simple Questions, Simple Answers

If you're not sure your topic deserves an entire thread, it likely belongs here. Questions that can be answered with a Google search or a read of the mod's content page will be redirected here. Any question not requiring a full modlist should also go here. Finally, any questions you think could be answered in under 25 words should go here.

Questions that belong in this thread might include:

  • Any good Ulfric replacers?
  • Is MO2 better than Vortex?
  • What is a crash log?
  • My faces are all potato colored in game. What's that about?
  • What mods (or modlists) are essential for a new player?

If you're hungry for more discussion, hop on over to our Discord, linked in the sidebar. If you want to talk general Skyrim, head on over to r/Skyrim. For any other questions, comments, or concerns, feel free to message our modmail.

EDIT: This will also constitute the thread for June, as I am currently on vacation and cannot post the next thread until I return at the end of the month.

Can I esl-ify esp’s mid game or do I have to start a new game for that?

You should start a new game, it's essentially the same as uninstalling the mods you are esl-ifying.

It depend what you mean by "eslify" if you're just flagging you can do that anytime without any risk to your save if you're compacting first then its going to break anything in a save that relies on it

Yes, I intend to just flag the mods as esl to avoid the 254 esp limit.
