Adds support for the extended plugin (ESL) range introduced in game version 1.6.1130 to versions 1.5.97, 1.6.659, and anything in between.
Description
Do not install this mod if you're using game version 1.6.1130 or later. It's redundant.
Backported Extended ESL Support replicates the updated plugin loading code used in Skyrim Special Edition's 1.6.1130 patch. This allows old game versions to seamlessly load newer plugin files.
What? On December 5, 2023, Bethesda released the Creations update for Skyrim Special Edition. Not only did this break compatibility with SKSE mods, it also broke compatibility with plugins (.ESP, .ESL, .ESM) by incrementing their header versions from 1.70 to 1.71. Attempting to use a version 1.71 plugin on an old game build will likely crash. So why did they do this? To expand the maximum number of new records in an ESL from 2048 to 4096. See this reddit post for a comprehensive explanation.
