| =[WIP] Testing S.T.E.P. Mod Packs on Low-Middle End PC Laptop=
| |
| I have been invited to help update needed edits for [[User:Paul666root/SRLE_LOTD_Reqtified|SRLE: Legacy of The Dragonborn Reqtified]]. Therefore I am moving my Benchmark Log Reports in this direction. Much of the information should still pertain to any of the Skyrim Revisited Legendary Mod Packs.<br />

| ===Prequisites Setup===
| |
| *Official Bethesda Content<br>In addition to the content, I implemented recommended settings in the S.T.E.P. [[Guide:NVIDIA_Inspector|Guide:NVIDIA Inspector]] for my low-mid level GPU.
| |
| *Tools<br>Did not install ENB Organizer as I will not be using ENB Presets. Note: I have confirmed that disabling the SpeedHack in the enblocal.ini causes my loss in FPS. Therefore, my system can neither run ENB or SKGE. I can only use ENBoost.
| |
| *Configure Skyrim<br>Launched Skyrim and followed through with Nvidia GeForce Experience to "Optimize" my Skyrim settings instead of relying upon the SkrimLauncher.exe or BethINI to switch everything to [High or Ultra] settings. Otherwise, followed the BethINI instructions, not checking Windowed Mode as I will not be using One Tweak.
| |
| *Clean the Bethesda ESM's<br>Followed the Guide<br>In addition, I performed the manual cleaning for Dawnguard recommended at [http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/82342/? GUIDE - Manual Cleaning Master ESMs For Skyrim and Skyrim SE] by alt3rn1ty.
| |
| *Post BethINI Tweaks<br>Followed the Guide then renamed and saved the INI files to my desktop. I then transferred the NVIDIA Optimized settings into the Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini for my base INI files into the SRLE Extended LotD Mod Organizer profile. To finish, I double checked that all other recommended tweaks listed in the guide were implemented in the INI files. Any further tweaks will be implemented by following the S.T.E.P. [[Guide:Skyrim_Configuration_Settings|Guide:Skyrim Configuration Settings]]

| === Other MOD Installations/Deviation from the Guide ===
| | {{alert|type=warning|text=This Guide is now located at Nexus Mods Wiki [https://wiki.nexusmods.com/index.php/User:DianaTESGotH User:DianaTESGotH]<br> |
| *Did not install ENB Organizer
| | <div style="text-align:center;"><big>[https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/index.php?title=User_talk:Diana_TES_GotH/Morroblivion_Overhaul&oldid=101827 Morroblivion Overhaul]</big> last edited on February 3, 2018 is the current stable version.</div>}} |
| *Installed all of the files from ENBSeries v308 (Wrapper) to replace what it is missing as I do not use an ENB preset. In game the effects can be disabled with [Shift]+F12.
| | <br> |
| *Did not install One Tweak.
| | {{alert|type=notice|text=This guide is tailored specifically for [https://tesrenewal.com/forums/morroblivion/mods/753 Morroblivion Project Release]. If you are simply looking to improve your Morrowind or Oblivion experience, I recommend reviewing and selecting one of the following guides:<br> |
| *DynDOLOD<br>{{Fieldset|Performance Options|checkmark=yes|Low-Res LOD Textures}}
| | [https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/Guide:Morrowind Guide: A modern Morrowind] by DassiD<br> |
| :Low-Res LOD Textures is a set of 128x128 single LOD textures typically used when building the LOD texture atlas.
| | [https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/User:Astien/Oblivion Oblivion Vanilla Enhanced] by Astien<br> |
| *Installed Wyrmstooth 1_16_2-25704-1-16.zip from older archives I saved.
| | [https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/47591/? Bevilex' modlist for Oblivion -Graphics] by Bevilex}} |
| *Installed Wyrmstooth - Tweaks and Enhancements-69501-1-5j.7z
| |
| *[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12525/? DYNAVISION - Dynamic Depth of Field] by Gopher and MyGoodEye

| |
| *[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78656/? Enhanced Saturation - Vibrant Colors] by Fillipe
| |
| *Installed the following mods to improvePerformance for my low end system. These mods will be placed at the end of the Landscaping mods installed later in the guide:
| |
| :*[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64611/? Insignificant Object Remover] - Removes small rocks, some ugly plants/bushes and lots ofobjects underwater.
| |
| :*[http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/6387/? Skyrim Performance PLUS] -Reduces the resolution of falling textures like snow/rain/leaves. | |
| | |
| *Optimized a few mods with DDSopt (See DDSopt MODS Optimized Section).<br>Note: When a mod gave the option to install 2k-1k, that was the option I chose, therefore I did not use DDSopt on said mods.
| |
| | |
| =DDSopt Settings=
| |
| [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:DDSopt/Skyrim Guide:DDSopt/Skyrim]<br>[http://wiki.step-project.com/images/7/7f/Batch_Files_for_DDSopt_guide_v2.82.7z Download v2.82 batch files referenced in the Guide] (updated January 28, 2016)<br><br>Working Directory | |
| #Create a "Working Directory" folder.
| |
| #Create a "Mod Extracted" subfolder.
| |
| #Extract the mod to be optimized into the "Mod Extracted" folder.
| |
| #Run 4_Mod_Sorting_Pre-optimization_2.81.bat
| |
| #Launch DDSopt.<br />
| |
| Follow the DDSopt STEP Guide for setup instructions.<br>
| |
| '''Constraints tab''' settings to cap your texture size and quality:<br />
| |
| *For more Performance use DXTx for *.dds, *_msn.dds, *_n.dds textures.<br />
| |
| *For Higher Quality always use R8G8B8/A8R8GG8B8/L8/A8L8 for all *_s.dds textures. This constraint can be used for all textures if you prefer the higher quality over performance.<br /><br>
| |
| **Mod Body Textures = R8G8B8/A8R8GG8B8/L8/A8L8 with Uncompressed=2048x2048<br />
| |
| **Move Mod Normal Maps to Mod Ordinary Textures = DXTx with Uncompressed=2048x2048<br />
| |
| **Move Mod Exterior Normal Maps to Mod Ordinary Textures = DXTx with Uncompressed=1024x1024<br />

| |
| == MODS Optimized with the DDSopt Settings Above ==
| |
| Notice: For Mods that reqire the BSA file be left in tact, I extracted the BSA into my Working Directory to Optimize the texture files and created a new Optimized Texture mod to place directly under the mod. I ignored any errors as I was only concerned with the texture files. Be careful not to optimize the any mesh folders that may slip in to the Pre-optimized mod folders. Move them out of those folders before processing.<br />
