The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim[edit | edit source]

Why This Guide Exists[edit | edit source]

While I have never actually finished vanilla Skyrim (I know, I know), I have played long enough to recognize what I think are shortcomings in the vanilla game. A credit to Bethesda, the Creation engine is capable of supporting improved graphics assets and new functionality through modding.

Goals[edit | edit source]

  • Produce a stable, playable game with no CTDs, an acceptable (30+) frame-rate, and stay within VRAM (<2GB) limits.
  • Overhaul existing vanilla systems for balance, make multiple character builds viable, and encourage repeat play-through.
  • Add new systems and game-play elements that add further depth and challenge to the vanilla game.
  • Overhaul existing vanilla locations with additional elements for added realism and depth.
  • Add new buildings, ruins and other elements around Skyrim to encourage exploration and discovery.
  • Overhaul existing vanilla NPCs so they are more intelligent, capable, and more lively.
  • Add new NPCs to interact with, and new interactions to give Skyrim a more lived-in feel.
  • Track game progress through user interface, achievements, and in-game locations.
  • Minimize or eliminate fast-travel with new transit methods.
  • Modify the user interface for more immersive game-play.
  • Design, build, and decorate player homes anywhere.
  • New professions and money making opportunities.
  • New followers and companions.

What I to avoid: (At least for now.)[edit | edit source]

  • Adding completely new lands. Falskaar and Elsweyr will have to wait, shame I missed out on Wyrmstooth.
  • Add completely new DLC-like quests; small quests added by a non-quest mods are fine.

Methodology[edit | edit source]

  1. Install STEP (Core Standard v2.2.9.2r3)
  2. Run some benchmarks
  3. Backup, always make a backup
  4. Vanilla System Overhauls
