Revision as of 00:57, August 3, 2012
Template:TOCRight Template:Notice Important: This page will be used to document my personal mods over and above my Custom Installation of STEP for Skyrim v1.7.
Prerequisites
- Skyrim v1.7
- 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 Targeting Tweak
This tweak improves the aim of arrows when using the default crosshair.
Add the following under [Combat]:
f1PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
f3PArrowTiltUpAngle=0.7
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
Water Reflection
This tweak improves water reflections.
Change the following under [Display]:
iWaterReflectHeight=1024
iWaterReflectWidth=1024
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
Enhanced Vanilla ENB v1.31
The non-choice choice. Simply gives SSAO, GodRays, Shadows, Parallax, etc without changing the Vanilla lighting. Using this during my mod testing phase until I can decide which ENB to use for a full playthrough.
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.
Bug Fixes
fxDustDropRandomSCRIPT Fix
Anyone who's had a look in their Papyrus logs has probably found that fxDustDropRandomSCRIPT.psc is spamming the log with errors every 30 seconds or so. This is due to the script having a timed loop, with the possibility of the cell unloading while the script is still waiting for the timer to finish. The reference that generates these errors is located in cell "KilKreathRuins2".
The fix adds some extra safety checks to test if the 3D is still loaded before the loop tries to run.
dunBluePalaceArenaSCRIPT Fix
A bugfix for the "dunBluePalaceArenaSCRIPT.pex" script that spams the Papyrus log with many many errors once the "Mind of Madness" quest has been completed. The fix adds some code to kill the update loop once the player has left the cell and the cell unloads/detaches.
