Guide/Version-Specific Mod Recommendations

Existing Guides
2.10.0
3.0.0

Type a version string using the format indicated by the placeholder text below. Copy/paste the intended guide version from the "Existing Guides" table above (if it exists) into the field below. For unofficial user-created guides, use the format indicated by the placeholder text. Editors: Please DO NOT use wiki headings inside of custom Recommendations and also avoid using templates if at all possible! Template calls add to the max threshold, and headings mess up the guide ToC.

Recommendations

Download and install the utility to a location outside of UAC influence. Many users choose to create a custom folder within the Skyrim directory called "Tools" to install all utilities to. Template:Alert small Setup

1. Close Mod Organizer and run BethINI
2. Select [Skyrim] from the game selection box.
3. Go to the Setup tab
   1. Ensure the paths for the boxes are correct. If they are not, browse to the correct paths.
   2. In the INI Path box, browse to the profile previously created when installing Mod Organizer: Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Mod Organizer\profiles\ProfileName. Select the INI and click [Open]. BethINI will restart.
   3. Go back to the Setup tab.
   4. BethINI can be used for multiple games from a single installation. It is recommended to check [Always Select Game], if only one installation will be used for multiple games.
   5. Check [Make INIs Read-Only].

Basic Tab

Navigate to the Basic tab.

Display

Users should change these settings to their preference.

1. Before making any changes, click [Default]. This will refresh your INI files to the default state while also organizing them.

• If using the games AA, do not set Antialiasing above [4x]. The difference between 4x and the higher settings is not noticeable enough to be worth the performance cost.
• Antisotrophic Filtering should be set to [16x], unless a video driver setting is used instead.
• [FXAA] is recommended to be disabled (unchecked).

Presets

1. Click the radio button for [BethINI Presets], if not already selected.

5. If using an ENB Preset, users should tick the ENB Mode checkbox. This does not apply to users who ONLY use the ENBoost portion of ENBSeries.
