lenora22 Posted May 3, 2024 Share Posted May 3, 2024 (edited) Hi all! In my SkyrimPrefs.ini, I edited default run from bAlwaysRunByDefault=1 to 0 so that when I load the game, my character walks by default. It's the .ini in my Documents > My Games > Skyrim Special Edition folder. Is this the wrong .ini? I know I did this in the past on my old computer, and it worked. I've checked repeatedly that it's done correctly, but I still run by default. I don't see any mods enabled in MO2 that I think could be affecting it. Any ideas? What am I doing wrong? EDIT: Tested and it DOES work on a new game, but not when I load a save from before I made the edit. Is this the type of thing that gets baked into a save file?

Your save file remembers if your movement was set to walking or running on save. But you can toggle walk/run by hitting Caps Lock, much like holding Shift temporarily toggles it as long as you're holding Shift. EDIT: And if you don't want Caps Lock on elsewhere after hitting it, you can toggle it off again in the Steam Overlay, the console (maybe?*) or while out of the game (either tabbed out or quit to desktop) without it changing. Or you can bind the walk/run toggle to a different key in your game settings. * I'll have to experiment again to see which Caps Lock states toggle while closed or not in focus, and which don’t.

lenora22 Posted May 5, 2024 Author Share Posted May 5, 2024 Thanks AaronOfMpls for your reply. It doesn't seem to remember whether I'm walking or running on a save, which is weird if it's supposed to. I just tested it and once I load a game, if I continue to load saves from that character, it does remember. But if I go back to the main menu and load a save, or if I just opened the game and load a save, it always auto-runs. It only takes half a second to hit caps lock to walk at each time when I log in, but it's so annoying! Haha! Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirCadsimar Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 (edited) I just properly installed BethINI today (thank you DoubleYouC for making this game program application tool, and thank you GamerPoets for the video on how to properly install it). I think there is a function in it to rectify this problem you're having. EDIT: I checked a moment ago, it does, Always Run is on by default but can be turned off in BethINI. TESTED: I just turned it off, pressed File->Save in BethINI, closed BethINI, opened game in Mod Organizer 2, loaded my most recent save, and I am not running by default! Get BethINI. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4875 GamerPoets' video about how to properly install and use BethINI: Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNv2_x0fVhA Edited June 30, 2024 by SirCadsimar 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
