I'm hoping they increase the mod cap

Their recurring reasoning against this is that increasing the data limit would require forcibly wiping the player's existing mods / LO and requiring them to redownload, and any grayed-out mods you have that are no longer available online would be gone forever.

Personally I'd be devastated if I lost my years-long carefully-cultivated Skyrim LO with about 20-30 greyed-out mods. But I wouldn't be opposed to this in FO4, since I ditched all such mods when I moved to Series S in the vain hopes that it would improve stability over the XB1 (it doesn't, fyi; it just loads the game lightning-fast, so when it crashes I can get back to it in 10 seconds rather than 60).

On the other hand, uncapping the arbitrary 150 mod limit and making .esl's function as intended is well within their ability; they did just that with Skyrim's last big update.
Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read.
