A bunch of useful ini tweaks for QoL and immersion

[Guest deleted2027229]

Open the Skyrim.ini (My Documents / games / Skyrim) and edit the following -

 

[GamePlay]
bEssentialTakeNoDamage=0 - Allows any NPC to be killed (no more immortal NPC)

[VATS]
bVATSdisable=1 - Removes archery + magic killcams

[Actor]
fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=8192.0 - Allows arrows to travel further instead of just dissapearing after a certain distance

[MapMenu]
fMapWorldYawRange=3600.0000 - Allows complete 360 degree rotation of the world map.

[interface]
bShowTutorials=0 - removes all tutorial popups
uTicksToWait=16 - enables 60FPS loading screens
sPosePlayerRaceSexMenu= - small tweak that unbinds player hands on character create

 

[General]
bBorderRegionsEnabled=0 - removes invisible walls at the edge of the map
sIntroSequence= - removes bethesda logo... boot straight to menu from desktop
sMainMenuMusic= - removes main menu music if you prefer no music in game

[Combat]
bForceNPCsUseAmmo=1 - In vanilla... enemy archers have infinite arrows.... this tweak will make them actually use the arrows in their inventory, forcing them to switch to melee if they run out.

 

[Camera]
fOverShoulderAddY=0.0000
fOverShoulderPosZ=10.0000
fOverShoulderPosX=0.0000
fOverShoulderCombatAddY=0.0000
fOverShoulderCombatPosZ=10.0000
fOverShoulderCombatPosX=0.0000

 

^ Completely centers the 3rd person camera when exploring or in combat. Basically it will not be over the shoulder but behind, and the camera shift when drawing a weapon will not occur.
