As the title says can you not have loads with the amount of vram available?

I have a 3090 but I would imagine the engine would die before you get to 24GB. Skyrim engine is terriblly optimized.

Other games like Witcher 3, rdr2 at 4k can see anywhere from 9gb to 15gb vram allocated.

Yeah the engine is going to struggle long before the hardware - while there are ways around it there is a 4GB VRAM limitation with the API used and while more recent modifications have found ways around it you can't just utilise lots of VRAM ad hoc. There are various other API limits which reduce how much advantage you can take of stuff like the 3090 as well unfortunately.
