Are game file sizes getting too large?

That depends. I happen to have two 2TB M.2 discs available, so it's not an issue for me, but I think it's an issue for a lot of other people. Mods, on the other hand, now there's an issue. I wanted to try a Skyrim SE modlist (Nolvus), but the modlist is about 550GB, or about 35-40 times the size of the base game. I have really fast internet, and plenty of space, but that's ridiculous, even for me.

Ouch, 550 would take my Internet well over 24 hours.
