[WIP] Testing S.T.E.P. Mod Packs
I have been invited to help update needed edits for 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.

Prequisites Setup
- Prerequisites Set Up
Implemented recommended settings in the S.T.E.P. Guide:NVIDIA Inspector for my low-mid level GPU. - Script Extenders
Followed the Guide - Tools
Uninstalled ENB Organizer because it did not inject the enblocal.ini properly and I will not be installing 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. - xEdit Scripts
Followed the Guide - Configure Skyrim
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. - Configure the Creation Kit
Followed the Guide - Configure Mod Organizer
Followed the Guide - Create The SRLE Extended LOTD Profile
Followed the Guide - Clean the Bethesda ESM's
Followed the Guide - Additional Tools
Followed the Guide - Post BethINI Tweaks
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 - SKSE Arguments (For Non Steam Users Only)
Did not apply. - ENB File Installation
Followed the Guide - 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:
- Insignificant Object Remover - Removes small rocks, some ugly plants/bushes and lots ofobjects underwater.
- Skyrim Performance PLUS -Reduces the resolution of falling textures like snow/rain/leaves. Note: I did not install the Snow as it is not compatible with Vivid Weathers.

- Stunning Statues of Skyrim (Installed 2K in place of all 4K recommended options.)
- Optimized a few mods with DDSopt (See DDSopt MODS Optimized Section).
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
Guide:DDSopt/Skyrim
Download v2.82 batch files referenced in the Guide (updated January 28, 2016)
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.
Behave menu (check following settings, other selections must be unchecked):
- In Textures sub-menu, check following settings :
- Produce partial derivative tangent-space normal-maps

In the Broswer tab set your texture directory source with the top "Browser" and set your output directory with the bottom "Brower".
Use the Constraints tab to cap your texture size and quality:
- For more Performance use DXTx for *.dds, *_msn.dds, *_n.dds textures.
- 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.
- Mod Body Textures = R8G8B8/A8R8GG8B8/L8/A8L8 with Uncompressed=2048x2048
- Move Mod Normal Maps to Mod Ordinary Textures = DXTx with Uncompressed=2048x2048
- Move Mod Exterior Normal Maps to Mod Ordinary Textures = DXTx with Uncompressed=1024x1024
- Mod Body Textures = R8G8B8/A8R8GG8B8/L8/A8L8 with Uncompressed=2048x2048
[Browser] tab (upper window)
Select the Texture folder that you wish to optimize (e.g. Mod Body Textures, or Mod Exterior Normal Maps, etc…)
Change the Constraints settings to the desired quality.
Check the "Show Recursive" box below the center text-box.
Make certain all files are selected.
In the center text box, type "*_s.dds" and then click [Apply].
Click the red [X] to deselect all files.
Clear the center box and click [Apply].
Click [Process] to begin optimizing the textures.
[Browser] tab (lower window)
Mod Optimized
Before exiting, change the Constraints settings to R8G8B8/A8R8GG8B8/L8/A8L8 with Uncompressed=2048x2048.
Clear the center box and click [Apply].
Click the red [X] to deselect all files.
In the center text box, type "*_s.dds" and then click [Apply].
Click the green checkmark to select all filtered files.
Clear the center box and click [Apply].
Click [Process] to begin optimizing the textures.
The optimization is complete. The Mod Optimized directory will now have folders with optimized textures for all the mods that were extracted. The Optimized files can now be archived for installation.
Use DDSopt on each individual mod before running DynDOLOD if you use it.
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.
