Prequisites Setup
- 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 - Script Extenders
Created SKSE.ini with Sheson memory patch:
[Display]
iTintTextureResolution=2048
[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
EnableDiagnostics=1
[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
ScrapHeapSizeMB=256 - 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. - xEdit Scripts
Followed the Guide - 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 - Configure the Creation Kit
Followed the Guide - Configure Mod Organizer
Followed the Guide - Create The SRLE Extended LOTD Profile
Followed the Guide - Clean the Bethesda ESM's
Followed the Guide - Additional Tools
Followed the Guide - Post BethINI Tweaks
Followed the Guide and tested the settings.
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.
