Configuring Skyrim

Template:Notice Small Once skyrim have been download we need to generate the ini files, which later we will be changing with bethini.

Start The Elder scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition through Steam and ioen the launcher.
Click "Options".
Click the Default preset.
Set "Aspect Ratio" and "Resolution" through the drop down box. This should be set to the monitors optimal resolution.
Set "Antialiasing Level" to Off through the drop down box.
Click Close.
Click the OK push-button to close the dialogue and save.

Antialiasing will be off because we will be using an ENB that will take care of that.

Ok now that the first part is done, we are gonna create a new file which will allows us to have a baseline that we are gonna use for our modding and testing.

Click "Play" on the launcher to start Skyrim.
On the main menu, press [`] key to show the command console and type "coc riverwood" without ""
Allow the game load and once you are in the game press T or [rest] and allow 1 hour to pass
This will make the game to have a normal weather
Now save your game and exit.

Now that we have our ini and save done we are gonna use Bethini to change optimize our settings to get the best possible result for us.

BethINI:

Installation: BethINI is a portable application. You can run it anywhere. Simply extract and run

on the [Basic] Tab
Go to Presets and choose "BethINI presets] and choose Ultra or  your default preset.
Now press [Save and Exit]

With this now your files are in order and we can start our modding journey.

Cleaning Bethesda's ESMs

We are gonna clean Update.esm Dawnguard.esm HearthFires.esm and Dragonborn.esm this two guides are all what you need to be able to clean this files. This guide thanks to gopher can still be used to clean your ESM

Another in depth guide guide which is VERY useful is from Michael from GamerPoets

Now that all our of files have been cleaned its time for us to start our modding adventure!

Lets start modding

---

Before starting here are things to remember:

• - Mods are sorted into categories and should be installed in the order presented for proper overwrites.
• - Run LOOT after each mod section to ensure the load order is correct as it will be indicated on this guide.
• - Backup a copy of the original mod archives in case a mod is ever taken down from the Nexus. (God knows it has happened before)
• - If a mod is not marked for cleaning in the guide, do not clean it! Some selected ITMs are necessary to ensure proper functionality.
• - In many cases, you cannot remove a mod in the middle of a playthrough / savegame. (Exception: Anything that JUST replaces textures with loose files,no esp. Some people swear by save game cleaners, which you can google. )
• - PLEASE and i mean PLEASE read each page of the mods to understand how they work.

Modern Brawl Bug Fix

The Modern Brawl Bug Fix updates the following 9 scripts. In the vanilla game, brawls (and certain other controlled combat scenarios) are cancelled when either participant is struck by a magic effect. This mod updates these events to trigger only when a participant is struck by a weapon (except fists), hostile spell, shout or scroll or (added in version 1.02) when the player casts a spell, uses an ingredient or uses a potion during the brawl.

Realistic Walking Running and Sneaking Speeds

Version: 4.1
Special Installation:

Fast Travel Speed Fix

this mod adjusts a game setting variable (fFastTravelSpeedMult) in an effort to change the amount of time that passes during your fast travel. In the vanilla game, when you fast travel from Markarth to Whiterun, the amount of time that passes is not realistic. This can be tested by running the distance on foot (or horse), and observe how long it takes (in-game time). By changing this variable, the amount of time that passes during fast travel will more closely line up.
