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.

Author's System

  • Processor: AMD FX-8120 Overclocked 4.00GHz
  • Motherboard: ASUS Crosshair V Formula ROG
  • Ram: Corsair Vengence Pro 16GB (2x8GB) @2400MHz
  • GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 8 GB GDDR5
  • OS: Windows 7 64bit
  • OS Drive: SSD Samsung 850 EVO 256GB
  • Games Drive: SSD Samsung 850 EVO 256GB

Getting Started

  1. Make sure you have installed and tested a base SRLE
  2. In Mod Organizer, go to profiles. Copy the existing 'Skyrim Revisited' profile to a new profile named SRLE: Legacy of The Dragonborn Reqtified. Ensure you are working with this newly created profile.
  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).
  5. Create the following mod folders in the left pane of MO: DynDOLOD TexGen Output - SRLE LoTD Reqtified, DynDOLOD World Output - SRLE LoTD Reqtified, SRLE LoTD Reqtified Profile.
  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.

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
