That's crazy but i'm glad it worked out for you.
I've tried to load in 21 mods using the files and steps given in the plugin bypass guide, however my Switch will crash within a minute of trying to load Skyrim (the spinning Switch logo prior to booting Skyrim).
My list of plugins were:
*Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.esp
*PredatorsLostTribes_SSE.esp
*Hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp
*EMCompViljaSkyrim.esp
*Cloaks.esp
*Cloaks - Dawnguard.esp
*Cloaks - USSEP Patch.esp
*Insects Begone - Spiders and Chaurus.esp
*Dr_Bandolier.esp
*Hothtrooper44_Armor_Ecksstra.esp
*Immersive Weapons.esp
*Inigo.esp
*Immersive Followers.esp
*SofiaFollower.esp
*Immersive Patrols II.esp
*Insects Begone - Dawnguard - Spider and Chaurus.esp
*Insects Begone - DragonBorn Spiders and Ashoppers.esp
*Insects Begone - Hearthfires.esp
*Predator_Jump_250.esp
*Better Vampires.esp
*Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp
This is also the way i sorted my load order in Mod Organizer before moving Plugins file over to my Switch SD card.
I know some mods work fine as i've tried again just using Live Another Life and Insects Begone. For the USEEP I followed a guide posted on this board on using USLEEP files when doing the mod conversion. Had no errors in the log file.
Any advice? I'm wondering if Better Vampires is not compatible maybe.
Rename the bsa files. The archiveload line has a 1024 character limit. You're more than likely past that limit.
I expected this, however I've shortened all of them except for USSEP which is still long so I'll try this.I've
just done a test now and removed USSEP, Better Vampires and Vilja which now makes Skyrim launch ok.
Will try this once I rename the BSAs
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
Actually I've just thought, if i rename the converted BSAs will the esps still know to look for them?
Or do I have to convert everything all over again with the shortened names?
That's great. I renamed Better Vampires's BSA files to BV and the mod and it's extra in-game spells work fine.
My final real question is I have a preferred PC texture mod called No Blocky Faces, however there is no BSA or esp file as it's a replacer so just folders. How do I convert this to work on Switch? Thanks!
That's the thing, like many texture mods it's just a set of folders in the zip. No esp or BSAs.
I know the NX toolkit can take these folders and convert the dds files into a BSA but without an esp how do I get this to work on Switch?
Also is it possible to replace the main menu theme on Switch as you do on PC? I tried the method of adding an xwm file with the correct file name for changing the main theme but still sounds the usual music in-game. Maybe wav format?

for just texture mods then yes you need to convert them as well, change the music on skyrim pc then convert it using the tool kit
As the example i converted this https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3033?tab=description

Ok so your saying for the mod I have with just texture folders and my music folder with an xwm for the main theme, convert both of these with the toolkit? This might give me BSAs for both of them but without esps how will they work on Switch?
Is the toolkit also needed for mods which have files in the video folder within data?
I used to use COA tool on Windows to optimize the textures and make a BSA out of them first. This is going into advanced territory tho and 100% unnecessary.
Can the Switch read BSAs that don't have .esp files? If I convert a face texture mod to BSA and just add it to the Archive list line on the INI file will it work on my Switch without an esp?
Then I don't quite understand how Skyrim PC mods like No More Blocky Faces and Total Character Makeover work as they just have texture folders. No esp or BSA.
Is there no way a face texture mod can work on Switch? Can I just make an .esp for these mods?@@
PC uses DDS files i think for the textures and its the standard set of textures

Hi All,
Quick question what does the skyrim unofficial patch for switch actually do and contain. Also how can I get hold of it.
Thanks

The same thing the pc one does. And you have to convert it but I believe it needs to be converted a special way. You can always check the NX-SkyrimToolboxs Discord.

32GBs is the baseline for 4K video editing these days and lots of recommendations for 64GBs but for games 16,GBs is honestly plenty for a long time. -
