An object slot is a location in the console memory that stores an object. There are 240 object slots in total that may either be occupied or unoccupied by an object. The slots that are occupied are arranged before the slots that are unoccupied. If all the object slots are occupied when an object tries to load, the game will try to unload unimportant objects such as dust particles. If all objects are important, the game will crash regardless of whether the object that is trying to load is important.
