Additional Tools

Automation Tools for TES5Edit

Author: Mator

Version: 1.5C

Mod Notes: Automation Tools is a package of scripts for use with TES5Edit. These scripts allow you to perform batch modifications, generate records, or create useful reports. Automation Tools is a must have for modders old and new, as the scripts included can save truly massive amounts of time. With Automation Tools, edits that would once take hundreds of hours can be completed in mere minutes.

Special Installation:

• Unzip the archive.
• Copy and paste the contains into the TES5Edit folder eg for me its J:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Tools\TES5Edit overwrite any needed files.

Boris's VRamSizeTest Tool

Users should download and run Boris's VRamSizeTest tool. Run the VRamSizeDX9.exe. Windows 7 users subtract 170 from the value provided and use that value. Windows 8/10 users subtract 350 and use that value.

Recommended Usage:

• Run the VRamSizeDX9.exe you will get a message saying Video memory available (MB) ...... whatever the number say
• Windows 7 users subtract 170 from the value provided and use that value. Windows 8/10 users subtract 350 and use that value.

Example my own system:

1. Video memory available = 12992
2. I run Windows 7 so subtract 170
3. Therefore: 12992-170=12752
4. So total Video memory available = 12752

now open ENBlocal.ini and place your result here VideoMemorySizeMb=whatever your result was:

So for me it was

[MEMORY]

• ReservedMemorySizeMb=896 (THIS NUMBER WILL LIKELY BE DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE'S SYSTEM. START AT 512 IF STUTTERING OCCURS INCREASE BY 128 UNTIL IT STOPS OR IS MINIMAL DON'T GO OVER 1024
• VideoMemorySizeMb=12752

Skyrim Project INI (spINI) Version 2.6

This program was created by DoubleYou (The S.T.E.P. resident INI Master). Skyrim Project INI (spINI for short) is an attempt to restore decency to the Skyrim INI configuration files.

1. Run spINI.exe Outside of MO and make sure it is closed otherwise changes wont take effect
2. Mod Organizer users should go to the Setup tab within spINI and select the profile they wish to use via the INI Path setting. Your profiles should be autodetected.
3. Under the Basic tab Click the DEFAULT BUTTON. This will refresh your INI files to the default settings for your system, with minimal tweaks.
4. Under the Basic tab Click the ULTRA PRESET.
5. Under the Basic Tab Click the Windowed Mode (THIS IS ONLY NEEDED IF USING ONE TWEAK)
6. Under the Basic tab make sure Anisotropic Filtering is set to NONE.

Special Installation: Do not install the following file(s) and/or folder(s):

Ergo, mod authors need not create and bundle silent voice files in their distribution packages.
