Steam Overlay

The Steam Overlay is known to cause issues while playing Skyrim Special Edition it is advised to disable it; to do this perform the following:

Load Steam.
In the Tool bar at the top of the left hand side Click Steam.
In the Dropdown menu Click Settings.
Then in the popup box find where it says In-Game.
Uncheck Enabled the Steam overlay while in-game then click OK.

Alternatively if you would just like to disable this for Skyrim Special Edition you may:

Load Steam.
Click LIBRARY.
On your Games list look for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Editon and Right Click.
In the Dropdown menu Click Properties.
Then in the popup box Uncheck Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.

Configure Skyrim

Before we can actually start doing any modding, We need to setup Skyrim Special Edition first so we have a starting base to work from.

Start by opening Steam: then perform the following steps in order:

Start The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition through the Steam context menu to open the default Skyrim Special Edition launcher.

Click "Options".
Click the [Ultra] push-button.
Set "Aspect Ratio" and "Resolution" through the drop down box. Set these to the monitors optimal resolution.
Set "Antialiasing" to Off through the drop down box. This is in preparation for the ENB Install.
Set "Windowed Mode" make sure this is ticked.
Set "Borderless" make sure this is ticked.
Click the [OK] button to close and save.

We have just set Skyrim Special Edition up to a base to work on. We'll tweak this when we run the BethINI tool later in the guide.
