Introduction
Skyrim Revisited is a STEP-based guide designed to keep up with the ever changing Skyrim DLC/Mod landscape. It will be updated with more frequency than STEP proper and decisions are based completely upon my personal choice. With that in mind, you may need to tailor it to your specific CPU/GPU setup. Generally I use the most graphically intensive versions of all mods.
My setup is as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5Ghz MOBO: Gigabyte G1.SNIPER 3 RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz GPU: EVGA 670GTX Superclocked 4GB (SLI)
Should you have questions, please feel free to message me on the Nexus or STEP forums.

First Steps
Run The Launcher
Simply start "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" through steam to open the launcher.
If this is your first run, it will auto-detect your video card and generate a default state ini file based on your hardware configuration.
Once this is done, click "Options" to open the dialog and do the following in order:
Click the "Ultra" push button. Set your Aspect Ratio and Resolution. For most users this will be 16:9 Widescreen and 1920x1080. Set your Antialiasing level to Off. Set your Anisotropic Filtering to Off. Click the "OK" push button to close the dialog and save.
Run The Game
Simply click "Play" on the launcher splash screen. Once the game has loaded to the main menu, select "New Game" and allow the game to run until you are able to access the menu by pressing "ESC". This is generally after the SKYRIM logo has faded away. Once there, I recommend to set the following options:
Enable dialogue subtitles. Enable general subtitles. Disable all autosave options.
These settings will be saved to your ini file.
Backup Your Fresh INI Files
Go to C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\My Games\Skyrim and save Skyrim.ini and SkyrimPrefs.ini to a backup folder.
