| <b>Important: This page will be used to document my personal mods over and above my [http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Custom_STEP Custom Installation of STEP].</b>
| |
| == Prerequisites ==
| |
| # [http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Custom_STEP My Custom STEP Install] or similar.
| |
| == Tools Used ==
| |
| # [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=Mod_Managers BOSS] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6MxLBcSgkc&feature=player_embedded Video])
| |
| # [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=Mod_Managers Wrye Bash v299 Standalone] ([http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Wrye_Bash Guide])
| |
| == Skyrim.ini Tweaks ==
| |
| === No Bethesda Intro Video ===
| |
| This removes the annoying Bethesda intro video when loading the game.<br />
| |
| Add the following under [General]:<br />
| |
| sIntroSequence=
| |
| === Large Interior Crash Fix Tweak ===
| |
| This prevents crashes that occur when too many objects are loaded in an interior cell. Usually this is caused by large mods.<br />
| |
| Add the following under [General]:<br />
| |
| iLargeIntRefCount=999999
| |
| === Sun Shadow Update Time ===
| |
| This tweak allows the shadows of objects to update instantaneously.<br />
| |
| Add the following under [General]:<br />
| |
| fSunUpdateThreshold=0.0000<br />
| |
| fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.0000
| |
|
| |
|
| === Arrow Tweaks ===
| |
| This tweak improves the aim of arrows when using the default crosshair.<br />
| |
| Add the following under [Combat]:<br />
| |
| f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7<br />
| |
| f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
| |
| This tweak allows you to shoot targets further away.<br />
| |
| Add the following under [Actor]:<br />
| |
| fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000
| |
|
| |
| == SkyrimPrefs.ini Tweaks ==
| |
| === Trees Receive Shadows ===
| |
| This tweak allows shadows to be drawn on trees.<br />
| |
| Change the following under [Display]:<br />
| |
| bTreesReceiveShadows=1
| |
| === Land Shadows ===
| |
| This tweak allows shadows from land masses to be drawn. Some people report this increases the amount of shadow striping, but I haven't noticed.<br />
| |
| Change the following under [Display]:<br />
| |
| bDrawLandShadows=1
| |
| === Float Point Render Target (For ENB) ===
| |
| This tweak allows ENB to work properly. I suggest leaving this value at 0 unless you are using ENB.<br />
| |
| Change the following under [Display]:<br />
| |
| bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
| |
|
| |
| == Current Lighting Mod ==
| |
| === [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/21912/ Countervibe ENB] ===
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> Can't recommend this enough.<br>
| |
|
| |
| == Mod Installation ==
| |
| As with my custom STEP install, I install in category groups when possible rather than a set order with the following priority:<br />
| |
| <b>Bug Fixes -> World Meshes/Textures -> Effects -> Sound -> UI -> Actor Meshes/Textures -> Animations -> Equipment Meshes/Textures -> Gameplay Changes -> Content</b><br />
| |
| Obviously, these categories are not always exclusive (textures included with meshes, etc). All mods are in LOOSE file format rather than BSA where available.

| == Final Steps ==
| |
| Now that mod installation is completed, we only have a few steps left to do.
| |
| === Step 1: Run BOSS ===
| |
| This will order your esp/esm files properly to run in the game.
| |
| My load order from BOSS is as follows:
| |
| #Skyrim.esm

| #Blacksmithforge water fix.esp
| |
| #Secondary Locations Map Markers.esp
| |
| #dD-Dawnguard-MonsterMod EBT Patch.esp
| |
| #Bashed Patch, 0.esp
| |
|
| |
| === Step 2: Activate ESPs / Create Bashed Patch ===
| |
| Start Wrye Bash once more and on the Mods tab, make sure all your mods have a green checkmark next to them, if not, click the box to activate them. If you ran step 1, they should already be in the correct order. Next, right click Bashed Patch, 0.esp and select "Rebuild Patch", then click Build Patch. Let that complete and close the window, the correct options should already be checked by default.
| |
| This merges the leveled lists from the installed mods so there are no conflicts.
| |
| === Step 3: Enjoy! ===
| |
| Your done, have fun!
