As I upload Simple Settlements you prefer long term 26 individual mods that are ESL, or 6 combined mods that are ESP?
 
Tricky to say, but fewer mods is better because we are limited on both the total mod size (just under 2 GB total) and the # of mods (150 total), I am nearly at my limit size-wise (have maybe 50MB free), but am well below my 150 mod limit (I use about 40, most of which are SS related).

This is pretty much my situation as well. I certainly don't mean to speak for others, but I suspect that most hardcore SS Xbox players bang their heads against the 2gb limit more than the 150 mod limit. It'd be easy to fill that 2gb up with nothing but SS and just its add-ons and I'm not sure it's even possible to run an Xbox game with SS and all the available add-ons.

That said, I think I myself would prefer 6 combined mods just out convenience. It's a pain sometimes to get even the smallest mod to install from Bnet. I'd rather fight with the machine 6 times rather than 26 times.

I thought esl don't count against limit?

I don't think the Xbox cares about esp vs esl. The 2gb limit seems to be a hard cap that there is no going past. edit: wrong limit. Oops. IDK
 
I think single files is ok considering the size anyway. They aren’t that big. Tried out the other one and they’re pretty cool. Wouldn’t want every settlement like this, but they are pretty cool for some and I know some players will really like just having this simple frame to build out what they want.

One note, in starlight one house on the end of the row is built half into the wall.
 
I did my best listening to you folks. I have all 3 Simple Settlements modules as one Esp. Its up live on xbox now. I removed On the Way to Diamond City since the first one incorporates all 15 plans. Military Hospital, Mess Hall, and Armoury is in almost all settlements as well.
