Prequisites Setup

1. Prerequisites Set Up
   Implemented a few recommendations from the Stability Performance Optimization ENB Configuration - a Comprehensive Guide by Memnochs to optimize my PC for modding. Used Nvidia Inspector with the profile downloaded from the Stability Performance Nexus link to manage the TESV.exe
2. Script Extenders
   Created SKSE.ini with Sheson memory patch:
   [Display]
   iTintTextureResolution=2048
   [General]
   ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
   EnableDiagnostics=1
   [Memory]
   DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
   ScrapHeapSizeMB=256
3. Tools
   Uninstalled ENB Organizer because it did not inject the enblocal.ini properly.
   Used NVIDIA OPTIMUS D3D9 DLL FIX by HiAlgoBoost as my GPU has this technology.
4. xEdit Scripts
   Followed the Guide
5. Configure Skyrim
   Launched Skyrim and followed through with Nvidia GeForce Experience to "Optimize" my Skyrim settings instead of relying upon the SkrimLauncher.exe to switch everything to [Ultra] settings.
   Followed BethINI Guide
   
   Included Performance INI tweaks to boost Average FPS from INSS Improved New Skyrim Shadows for Medium-Range PC by defosh369 to reduce shadows.
   
   Followed through with [Configuration Settings] from S.T.E.P. to reduce other performance intensive flora mods. Also made a few personal preference changes.
