ACCEPTED Skyrim Project Optimization (by rgabriel15)

[Eliian]

Sounds good! I've been using the ESM for several weeks. Just wanted to make sure.

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to mods. I have been installing the STEP Core mods and came across this one. STEP does not list SPO as a core mod, but the advantages seem suited to my machine. I am at the bottom end of RAM (1 GB GPU and 4 GB CPU). So I figured I would add this mod to help performance. I use Mod Organizer for mod installation and management. When I click on the mod in Mod Organizer to install, I get this message -

 

"This looks like a package prepared for installation through BAIN. You can select options from the list below. If there is a package.txt file, it should contain detailed information about the options."

 

There is no package.txt file. The options are two checkboxes labeled "Data" and "Options". My question is...Do I check both boxes? I do not have any DLC, only Vanilla Skyrim.

 

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Just select "Data".

[BamaBosmer]

Thanks Techangel85 for your help! :)

Might I suggest adding the recommendation of ESM over ESP to the Wiki notes? (And hence to the STEP guide itself, I'm guessing). This isn't necessarily a clear choice for those new to mods or to STEP!

It says right in the mod page when to use each. Reading the mod pages/readmes is part of the users responsibility or the STEP Guide would be littered with similar notes.

Why is this marked as be LQ relative to Baseline? That doesn't make any sense with the use of the LQ flag throughout the rest of the guide.

[EssArrBee]

Not sure, but I think you can make changes to incorrect attributes. Wiki Tools-> Edit with form then find the tab and untick the performance version box.

[TechAngel85]

The LQ and HQ tags mean that there is a lower or higher quality version offered compared to the STEP recommendations (baseline). Not sure if that's true for this mod.

There are higher detail and lower detail versions for the replacer. At least there were last time.

Well, there isn't anymore that I can tell.

I found this thread on ENB forums. It says

Added occlusion culling performance optimization which partially work at this moment in exteriors, it can be toggled by new parameter EnableOcclusionCulling in enblocal.ini.

Occlusion culling is not effect, it's special method to not render objects which are not visible behind others. Properly used it decrease cpu usage.

Doesn't this do more or less the same thing as this mod?

[torminater]

Occlusion culling in ENB is not yet a finished module. There are lots of people suggesting not to use it, until Boris has made improvements to this feature.

[Aiyen]

Occlusion culling in ENB is for water parallax, not lighting. This project it for lighting and meant to help improve performance by shutting of shadow casting lights you cannot see anyways.

The names are the same since the method "occullsion culling" is the same.. just applied on different things.

Very interesting updated has been released today (just in case someone doesn't have the mod tracked on Nexus).

 

Version 1.6

Updated all plugins, except Dawnguard, to carryover Unofficial Patches changes

 

And a quote from the author:

1.51 reverted back some changes from Unofficial Patches after USKP team changed the mod to false .ESM, but only minor edits, nothing to worry about on your savegame.
