Configure Skyrim
Before we can actually start doing any modding, We need to setup Skyrim Special Edition first so we have a starting base to work from.
Start by opening Steam: then perform the following steps in order:
Start The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition through the Steam context menu to open the default Skyrim Special Edition launcher.
- Click "Options".
- Click the [Ultra] push-button.
- Set "Aspect Ratio" and "Resolution" through the drop down box. Set these to the monitors optimal resolution.
- Set "Antialiasing" to Off through the drop down box. This is in preparation for the ENB Install.
- Set "Windowed Mode" make sure this is ticked.
- Set "Borderless" make sure this is ticked.
- Click the [OK] button to close and save.
We have just set Skyrim Special Edition up to a base to work on. We'll tweak this when we run the BethINI tool later in the guide.
