<h3>Introduction to ESLs</h3>
ESLs (<b>Elder Scrolls Light</b> Plugin) are a type of plugin used in Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, they allow plugins within a certain size to have an index limited to <strong>4096 instead of 256</strong>.
<br>
<br>
<strong>Mod Organizer 2 will indicate these plugins</strong> with a <b>yellow circle</b> in the plugins tab and with an <b>italic font</b>.
<br>

<div class="resize-overlay expand"></div>
</div>
</p>
</div>
<div class="card" id="Limitations">
<p>
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>To be flagged ESL, a plugin <strong>can't have more than 4095 new records</strong> (the range is from 001->FFF).</li>
<ul>
<li>If a plugin's header is version 0.95, the max amount of new records is 2048 (800->FFF).</li>
</ul>
<li>
ESL on Fallout 4 has <strong>2 bugs</strong>:
<ul>
<li>Cells originating in a light plugin <strong>cannot use the PreVis/Precombine system</strong>.</li>
<li>Voiced dialogue overriddes in a light plugin might result in <strong>silent dialogue audio</strong>.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Working with ESL plugins in Creation Kit might result in more work due to the <strong>CK totally ignoring ESL</strong> space when creating new records. This means that after making new records in CK you'll have to compact forms in xEdit.</li>
</ul>
</p>
</div>
<div class="card" id="BatchFlagging">
<p>
<h3>Batch Flagging</h3>
In order to have more space for non-ESL plugins in your load order, you'll have to make sure everything that can be flagged ESL, is. <strong>xEdit can do this natively</strong> thanks to it's PseudoESL argument and the SetESL script, which flags everything that can be flagged safely.
<ol>
<li>If you haven't already, read the <a href="https://moddinglinked.com/xedit.html">xEdit guide</a> to avoid confusion with the next steps.</li>
<li>Add <span class="card-basic">-PseudoESL</span> to the arguments field of xEdit in MO2.</li>
<li>Run xEdit and load <strong>all of your mods</strong>.</li>
<li>Once loaded, select all plugins on the tree-view with CTRL+A, then right-click and <b>Apply Script...</b></li>

<div class="resize-overlay expand"></div>
</div>
<li>Click <b>OK</b> and wait for it to process everything.</li>
<li><strong>Close xEdit</strong>, if it asks you to <strong>save</strong> then that means the plugins listed received the ESL flag.</li>
