SkyRem Guide Custom Settings

By: DrPharmDawg
Version: 5.4.0
UPDATE

MAIN FILE: SkyRem Custom Settings

Note: If you experience ILSs, you can try turning on the MemoryManager option in the SKSE/Plugins/EngineFixes.ini file included (part of SSE Engine Fixes).

Note: However, some have reported turning the MemoryManager option on results in random CTDs. I personally have it on and experience neither issue.

STEP 2 CHECK

REMINDER: Double check that all tagged mods have been appropriately extracted (
BSA
), optimized (
CAO
), ESLified (
ESL
), compacted and ESLified (
COMPACT
), ported (
PORT
), and/or cleaned (
CLEAN
).

VERIFY: Ensure your counts are as follows (if following the guide 100%).
- Mods: 66
- Plugins: 27 (ESMs = 7, ESPs = 8, ESMs + ESPs = 15, ESLs = 12)

LOOT: Run LOOT to sort your plugins.

TEST:
- Check your base user interfaces (journal, inventory, skills, etc.) all appear as intended.
- Load the user preset in the A Matter of Time MCM to ensure your HUD displays as intended.
