I have been a member of this community a fairly long time. I have been through more than one hacking event, system rebuild... and at some point the site even lost track of the fact that in a much earlier version of the sites existence I sent them some $$s. I tell you now that Bethesda has B*nged the family pet on this one. Bethesda has mined this site for years for ideas and talent and now they are doing something that damages it. I work in the I.T. industry...and have for >35 years. The tech folks at Bethesda would not have decided this is the way to run things. So, I would suggest that we (the nexus site community) come up with a unified response in email. Dark0ne, you would be the perfect coordinator for such an event. If you need help... Shoot me an email... I would be happy to assist in defending this mod community. Thanks Cenobium

Thanks for the respose. Well, it has been in the catagory of an anoyance.....not exactly a show stoper. So I thought I would post and see if anyone out there could point me in the right INI file settings direction. Game is stable etc..... thats why I haven't realy worried to much about it. Now:. I got the info. from the SkrinNexusmods site. In regard to the question of a backup. Yes, I always make a backup. I have a backup from before the ENTIRE set of INI changes was made. So I could "fall back" to that point but I would loose the successful tweaks in the process and still not know which settings were in fact problamatic. So....ther it is.

Hello, I tweaked my INI files a while back and I now have serated shadows and flickering shadows. I was following some INI tweak advice from the down load site.....can anyone point me in the correct direction to fix this? Obviously I went out of bounds with some of the INI settings INI files listed here: Skyrim.ini [General] SLocalSavePath=Saves\Eidolon\ sLanguage=ENGLISH uExterior Cell Buffer=288 bLoadLooseFiles=1 [Display] fShadowLODMaxStartFade=1000.0 fSpecularLODMaxStartFade=2000.0 fLightLODMaxStartFade=3500.0 iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=4096 bAllowScreenshot=1 [Audio] fMusicDuckingSeconds=6.0 fMusicUnDuckingSeconds=8.0 fMenuModeFadeOutTime=3.0 fMenuModeFadeInTime=1.0 [Grass] bAllowCreateGrass=1 bAllowLoadGrass=1 [GeneralWarnings] SGeneralMasterMismatchWarning=One or more plugins could not find the correct versions of the master files they depend on.
