Well, I know there were methods to make Fallout 3/New Vegas 4GB-compatible, which I've already used, and last I checked Skyrim was already made 4GB-enabled in one of the patches. That said, the total mod amount you can run on any of those games is determined by the amount of RAM you have, or so I've been taught, and that having higher amounts of RAM you can enable more plugins before the game destabilizes.
