Thank you very much everyone! I got it! I don't have any workshop mods, so it's fine :)

I'm going to move my system to a new disk and I decided to reinstall it fresh instead of cloning them. I of course want to keep my mods for Skyrim, mostly because it takes forever to redownload them :P I've been using MO to install everything, and I also have BOSS (LOOT didn't exist a year ago, or I didn't know about it), SKSE, and in general, I have installed everything in S.T.E.P. core and some of its advanced features. I'm also running an ENB. I guess that I can just copy the whole skyrim folder, as well as the 3 directories of MO (download, mod, cache). But I have no idea how and if MO will be able to reidentify all of my mods and their settings, as well as create new symbolic links (virtual files). Does anyone know how I can do this? I effectively want to backup the whole of Skyrim (I have the disks but it's faster) as well as all of its mods (and save files!) and the ENB (which resides inside the skyrim folder anyway afaik). Thanks in advance! P.S. I googled and searched the forums and couldn't find any similar questions (everything I found was about NMM which just places everything at the skyrim folder), sorry if it's been asked before; just point me to that if so.

After completing the guide of optimizing the vanilla textures with DDSOpt, when I imported HRDLC3 with MO, I got an error saying: "Data Error" and the installation failed. As I understand the compression to .7z went wrong, since I have the correct number of files in the folders "Optimized" and "Extracted" as designated by the guide. The produced log.txt and HRDLC_Clean_ERROR.log are both empty. I used the provided DDSOpt ini, and not the one I got from nexus, even though the one from nexus is newer (late Dec 2013@nexus Sept2013@STEP). 1)I also have set MO to auto extract BSAs, should I NOT extract those? 2)What can I do to archive HRDLC3 on my own, if the problem is the compression? 3)Do I have to optimize STEP Mods? And if so is there somewhere a list of those? (My VRAM atm is at ~1.7/2 in Windhelm and other places) I am using STEP (mostly 1K res, and some 2K packs, never higher), CoT and Realistic Lighting Overhaul, as well as RealVision ENB (2 body replacement mods and some others from GEMS, not affecting textures/lighting/meshes). PC Specs: i7 2600k @ 3.4GHz 4GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz GTX 770 2GB (ASUS DCUII) ASUS P8P67 1080p I want to say that you should really underline that texture optimization is necessary and VERY important in the STEP guide. As of now you do not recommend the HRDLC Optimized to people with 2GB VRAM+, directing them to Bethesda's assets. Using those my game was unplayable as my VRAM was capped at all times (with the full step + ENB + 16x AF + Edge AA + CoT + RLO), getting ~60 fps and when turning fast my fps would drop to 0-5... PS Can someone also explain to me how to set AA properly now that I'm using ENB? I have read that I shouldn't force it through the GPU's driver, and have it OFF in the game's settings, and instead should enable it from the ENB. My problem is that I can't find anywhere the AA setting, I can only find the mode of AA (Edge, Temporal, Subpixel, Transparency), and not x8 Subpixel AA for example. Also, I have found the settings for SSAO, but not where to enable/disable it. Also I'm seeing jagged lines on some textures under angles. Even though I have Subpixel AA enabled, is that normal? Everything is so beautiful in this game that the smallest detail bugs me while I have no prob playing PlayStation 1 games xD I'll try SMAA...

Sorry I'm a total idiot. Steam overlay works fine as is. MO is pretty awesome xD Just ignore my posts :) Thanks for your reply! I haven't broken my installation, everything works perfectly, nor have I deleted/renamed TESV.exe . I just found this guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=162323484 proposing a rename. If I verify the game cache I'll lose changes to .ini's and other stuff written directly on Skyrim's directory... I just want to be able to have the steam overlay while running Skyrim from SKSE.

My bad!
