Introduction and Summary

This guide is an expansion of the well known Neovalen's Skyrim Revisited: Legendary Edition. This would not exist without his hard work on Skyrim Revisited Legendary Edition. This guide uses that as a base.

SRLE: Legacy of The Dragonborn Reqtified is an addon pack created to improve the players experience in Skyrim world.

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have installed and tested a base SRLE

3. Rename the following mod folders in the left pane of MO: DynDOLOD - TexGen Output --> DynDOLOD TexGen Output SRLE Original; DynDOLOD World Output --> DynDOLOD World Output SRLE Original.
4. Disable the following mod folders in the left pane of MO: DynDOLOD TexGen Output SRLE Original, DynDOLOD World Output SRLE Original, SRLE Profile (this is the folder where Neovalen has you copy the contents of the overwrite folder to the end of his guide).

6. Ensure you have NO mods in the overwrite folder before starting to install SRLE LoTD Reqtified.

This guide brings two star mods to the game that improve and expand user's experience. To integrate these two mods we need first to 'clean' a bit Skyrim Revisited: Legendary Edition, which we'll reffer from now on as SRLE Base and by cleaning we mean as to remove few mods that are not needed by these two core mods. Here is an integration page that can be used to see better how we integrated the guide's mods into SRLE Base. SRLE LOTD Reqtified Integration Page.

Legend

Each mod is preceded by a tag for easier management of the guide:

• CORE
  This mod is a full part of the guide and is expected to be installed.
• TOOL
  This isn't a mod, but a modding utility to be used during your modding adventure.
• Optional
  This mod is optional. This is an addition considered useful to the setup, but might be more of a personal preference.
• HQ
  This mod is to be used only for users looking for a High-Quality visual experience. This doesn't necessarily mean it should be avoided at all cost by low-end system users, but simply that the performance hit might not be worth the visuals improvements on weaker machines.

Steam Overlay

The Steam Overlay is known to cause issues while playing Skyrim and it is advised to disable it; to do this perform the following:

1. Load Steam.
2. In the Tool bar at the top of the left hand side Click Steam.
3. In the Dropdown menu Click Settings.
4. Then in the popup box find where it says In-Game.
5. Uncheck Enabled the Steam overlay while in-game then click OK.

Additional Tools

[Boris's VRamSizeTest Tool]

TOOL

VRamSizeTest Tool - 1.0 - by Boris Vorontsov

Files to download : MAIN FILES - main file

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 just use the value provided by the tool.

Recommended Usage:

• Run the VRamSizeDX9.exe you will get a message saying Video memory available (MB).
• Windows 7 users subtract 170 from the value provided and use that value. Windows 8/10 users just use the value provided by the tool (likely 4064).

Example of my own system:

1. Video memory available = 15968
2. I run Windows 7 so I subtract 170
3. Therefore: 15968 - 170 = 15798
4. So total Video memory available = 15798

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=15798

Mod Notes: The Legacy of the Dragonborn is steeped in prophecy, myth, legend and history itself. Explore forgotten lore and uncover the lost relics of the 7 Dragonborn of the bygone eras of Tamriel. From those merely mentioned in title to those who wielded the power of the voice, many legendary and influential people held the title of “Dragonborn” and they all link to the lost covenant of Akatosh.

“Legacy of the Dragonborn” is a MASSIVE addition which will change the way you play Skyrim forever. Meet the curator Auryen Morellus at the museum in Solitude and he will help guide you in your quest to gather the many relics of Tamriel's history as well as provide a fully equipped player home and many many more quests as well. As you display relics you will unlock more history and lore as you encounter new challenges, meet new NPC's and embark to establish your own guild, " The Explorer's Society ".

Aim to explore and discover lost places, artifacts and history, Build the guild house from the ground up as the guild master, then recruit new members, each with their own unique back stories and special guild functions. Explore ruins and excavate relic fragments to re-assemble into artifacts to display in the museum. Set up a guild store with the quartermaster and much more.
