This guide is a work in progress and is thus incomplete. While all INI settings are listed, some of the setting descriptions may be incomplete or even incorrect!

Suggested first reading: Skyrim Configuration Settings Guide

Guide scope

This guide is intended to be the comprehensive reference to all settings found within the Skyrim.ini file for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim game. All of the user-configurable settings contained within Skyrim.ini are listed and defined (or hopefully will be). Settings are presented by section in alphabetical order. Jump to a relevant section using the links below and navigate back to this "hub" using the link that appears at the top of each section page.
→ Default Skyrim INI (runtime 1.9.32.0.8) }}

Settings

Skyrim.ini has 1443 settings (339 Booleans, 811 floating points, 106 integers, 81 unsigned integers, 96 strings, and 9 colors) separated into 62 sections. 315 of these are believed to be unused by the game, leaving 1128 settings to tweak. 1 additional setting is mentioned here that is commonly placed in this file that does not work. Any additional settings not listed here are most likely invalid.
