Revision as of 20:59, August 14, 2012
Template:TOCRight Important: This page will be used to document my personal mods over and above my Custom Installation of STEP.
Prerequisites
- My Custom STEP Install or similar.
Tools Used
Skyrim.ini Tweaks
No Bethesda Intro Video
This removes the annoying Bethesda intro video when loading the game.
Add the following under [General]:
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.
Add the following under [General]:
iLargeIntRefCount=999999
Sun Shadow Update Time
This tweak allows the shadows of objects to update instantaneously.
Add the following under [General]:
fSunUpdateThreshold=0.0000
fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.0000
Arrow Tweaks
This tweak improves the aim of arrows when using the default crosshair.
Add the following under [Combat]:
f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
This tweak allows you to shoot targets further away.
Add the following under [Actor]:
fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000
SkyrimPrefs.ini Tweaks
Trees Receive Shadows
This tweak allows shadows to be drawn on trees.
Change the following under [Display]:
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.
Change the following under [Display]:
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.
Change the following under [Display]:
bFloatPointRenderTarget=1
Current Lighting Mod
Countervibe ENB
Notes: Can't recommend this enough.
Mod Installation
As with my custom STEP install, I install in category groups when possible rather than a set order with the following priority:
Bug Fixes -> World Meshes/Textures -> Effects -> Sound -> UI -> Actor Meshes/Textures -> Animations -> Equipment Meshes/Textures -> Gameplay Changes -> Content
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
- Update.esm
- Dawnguard.esm
- SkyMoMod.esm
- Lanterns Of Skyrim - All In One - Main.esm

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!
