User talk:Neovalen/Skyrim Revisited - Legendary Edition

Beautifully done Neo, I'm currently installing Skyrim and going through Skyrim Revisited. I'll leave notes here as I run through it. --Frihyland (talk) 19:35, October 21, 2013 (UTC)

Link to Creation Kit should be this: http://www.creationkit.com/Category:Getting_Started

Missing ENB in Tools section (or put it in a new section called graphics extenders) Link: http://www.enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm Python version of Wrye Bash should be checked during installation to automatically install python and its libraries (required by MO). Perhaps a note about 7zip and Java which will be required as well.

Configure skyrim, set game difficulty to at least expert to turn on advanced scripted AI functionality

Configure MO, add DDSopt and Enb manager to the list of executables

You might want to think about creating interim profiles that each build on each other, for instance: vanilla skyrim, core step, extended step (this profile may not be as helpful depending on how different it is from revisited), skyrim revisited. It wouldn't be very difficult and it makes installing and testing much easier and reliable, by breaking the process into easily managed chunks instead of all or nothing. Maybe just breaking it up by section would be better depending on the degree of difference between STEP. Really anything that encourages installing in smaller chunks and testing as you go (as well as setting up easy as pie troubleshooting profiles).

Clean ESM's is too complicated and not complete. Make a zip of all the esm's before running tes5edit and name it Vanilla ESMs. After cleaning make a zip of the cleaned esms named Cleaned Vanilla ESMs. Remove the TES5Edit Backups folder from <Mod Organizer Path>/overwrite. Unzip the vanilla esms zip to skyrim/data and overwrite. Add the cleaned esms zip to MO and activate.

The texture optimization guide looks good but I skipped it as I am using a truly sick video card with 6GB.
