*Skyrim Complete Mod List and Instructions - For Future Reference.*

This is here to walk through every step for installing everything for mods currently I use; I keep tech stuff to a minimum when explaining, & I think it will help to get me/you started quicker.

I really like this list, has most everything, but I'm still getting CTD's randomly..

 

Running on Windows 7 x64, AMD Radeon R7 260x Series 1024MB VRAM, 8 GB RAM, 2.60 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 810 Processor, and SSD.

 

Necessary Utilities:

Nexus Mod Manager:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/modmanager/?
To install mods straight from their .zip / .7z / .rar as DL'd, to organize mods.

Wrye Bash:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/1840/?
To create bashed patch, which creates leveled lists & makes everything meshed to play well together,
right click Bashed Patch, 0.esp and "Rebuild Patch", then "Build Patch". Do this last after all mods are installed and LOOT'd

SKSE:
http://skse.silverlock.org/
You will use Skyrim (SKSE) icon to load Skyrim from now on in.
SKSE adds scripting functions to Papyrus scripting language.

LOOT:
https://loot.github.io/
To keep mods in their proper load order to avoid conflicts. You see which mods need cleaning when done as well.

TES5Edit
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25859/?
To make sure Skyrim will load properly with current mod loadout, it will show you when scanning through mods if there is a load error, and what it is. To clean mods, right click in left window on a mod, and "Apply Filter for Cleaning", then according to LOOT, clean mods by selecting them, and right clicking > "Remove Identical to Master Records" and "Undelete and Disable References". Then quit and save. Some mods shouldn't be cleaned according to their creators.

Save game script cleaner:
http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/52363/?
Can remove orphaned scripts left behind, should be used by making backups of saves. I wouldn't ever use it again, save games can become unplayable if you only remove orphaned scripts. The mods I have installed stay the whole way through.

Download ENBSeries at bottom of this page:
http://enbdev.com/mod_tesskyrim_v0264.htm
Open Wrapper Version, copy enbhost.exe, enblocal.ini, d3d9.dll to Skyrim main folder.
Open enblocal.ini and look for the line "UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true", if false, change to true.

ENBoost is included in most recent ENBseries binaries.

Sheson's memory fix:

(The OLD way - no longer needed)
http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2729

Instructions:
http://enbseries.enbdev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2729&start=40#p45684
Scroll down & click "download my pre-compiled skse_steam_loader.dll found here."
Copy "skse_steam_loader.dll" file, replace one found in Skyrim directory.
Supposedly, with SKSE 1.7.1, it's included.

Create new txt doc w/ the following:

[NotPlacebo]
GiveFirstBornToSheson=1

Save txt file as SKSE.ini & place in SKSE folder found in Skyrim Data folder.

 

 

I think I would rather use SSME at the Nexus over that guy's uploaded .dll:

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50305/?

 

 

-Or-

 

(The NEW way, after 1.7.1 SKSE, the old way is not needed)

 

Note:

These settings are pasted in SKSE.ini. SKSE.ini is placed in your Skyrim\Data\SKSE folder. I created one because it wasn't there. SKSE has Sheson's memory patch but it's disabled by default. This activates the patch in SKSE; you open skse.ini and enter these lines. It makes it so you don't have to use SSME, or add any of the above.

 

[General]
ClearInvalidRegistrations=1
[Memory]
defaultHeapInitialAllocMB=768
scrapHeapSizeMB=256

Use Memory Blocks Log to get just the right amount of defaultheap (block 1) so that memory is free for other use -

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50471/?

 

------

 

http://wiki.step-project.com/ENBoost

 

enblocal.ini setting:

UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=true

 

In SkyrimPrefs.ini in Documents\my games\Skyrim, change to:

bFloatPointRenderTarget=1

 

 

 

In SkyrimPrefs.ini turn compass off,

bShowCompass=0

(doesn't seem to work, compass flickers and won't vanish, so I use iHUD, seems to eliminate the compass)

 

In console,

enablefasttravel false

Install order:

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/30936/?

 

STEP has an install order for mods here:

http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9

 

"Mods should be installed in the order that they are listed to ensure that mods further down the list overwrite those occurring before them. This is necessary to ensure the desired in-game effect."

 

 

 

Skyrim Stability Guide:

Not all .ini tweaks I use, and in general unnecessary, though I would follow STEP with regards to .ini editing, for enblocal.ini, Skyrim.ini, and SkyrimPrefs.ini

 

This is better to follow:

http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.9

 

.ini settings for ENBoost:

Scroll to SMAA and set it up:

uGridsToLoad in skyrim.ini in Documents\my games\skyrim must be an odd number, starting from 5 - 7 - 9 - 11, and affects load distance. Default is 5, but I go to 7, depending on system, they say 9 is pushing it, 7 is good enough.

 

[General]
uExterior Cell Buffer=64
uGridsToLoad=7
iPreloadSizeLimit=51380224

Default Papyrus settings in skyrim.ini:

[Papyrus]
fUpdateBudgetMS=1.6
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=1.6
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=1000.0
iMinMemoryPageSize=128
iMaxMemoryPageSize=512
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=76800
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
bEnableProfiling=0

Perhaps something to consider:

[Papyrus]
fUpdateBudgetMS=800
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000
iMinMemoryPageSize=256
iMaxMemoryPageSize=512
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=2457600
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
bEnableProfiling=0

But not needed, Bethesda Dev said here, http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1487930-getting-a-lot-of-script-lag-going-over-10000-ms-sometimes/?p=23340131
It's not necessary to tweak these settings.

I would raise by increments according to:
http://www.creationkit.com/INI_Settings_%28Papyrus%29

Experiment if getting script lag, but in general don't edit default settings, FPS issues will arise.

[Papyrus]
fUpdateBudgetMS=2.4
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=2.8
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000.0

For error logs:

bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0

Change them to 1 to turn on; keep 0 if not searching for crash issues, it's system intensive.

bEnableLogging=1
bEnableTrace=1
bLoadDebugInformation=1

 

Logs can be found in Documents\my games\skyrim\Logs\Script

 

I use this, provides more data to ENB,

 

http://www.dev-c.com/skyrim/enbhelper/

 

Says it should be used here

Optimizer Textures,

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/12801/?

 

Manually download, extract and run executable, choose Skyrim Data folder (where all mods NMM installs to) and hit start, changing settings is unnecessary.

 

 

Rebuild Wrye Bash patch when all mods installed, LOOT'ed and cleaned. Just right click Bashed Patch, 0.esp and rebuild it. Do it last.

Cleanmem Setup:

Several places you can download it at. I don't keep it active anymore, no real noticeable difference on whether I CTD or not.

Disable CPU Core Parking:

Further Windows 7 Tweak,

These are all default manually set except Tablet PC, but for best usage of memory, consider:
http://www.7tutorials.com/which-windows-services-are-safe-disable-when
http://www.blackviper.com/windows-services/

Disable Aero, Windows 7:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-aero-on-windows-vista/?PageSpeed=noscript

To shut down Aero Service, (Windows hotkey + R) to run services.msc - create icon of services.msc from directory Windows\System32
and right click if you need admin privileges
http://www.softwareok.com/?seite=faq-Win-7&faq=17

Disable visual effects, Windows 7:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Optimize-Your-Slow-Windows-Computer/step5/Disable-Visual-Effects/

Be sure core parking is disabled. See in perfmon.exe. Uninstall unnecessary programs, keep video drivers up-to-date, use black desktop with few icons, shut down unnecessary programs before Skyrim start, I.E.: multiple explorer.exe runs (save highest memory run).

I use Xpadder http://xpadder.com/forum4/viewtopic.php?f=196&t=4837 with a PS/2 controller with an adapter called kikijoy - it is a very old adapter, I bought more than a decade ago, but enables me to play with my PS/2 dualshock 2 controller / Razer Naga mouse at the same time. Once you get used to playing this way, you simply do NOT play with the keyboard anymore. You can set every hotkey needed to the controller and it is a very fun & relaxed way to play. Give it a shot, your immersion will be increased many, many times over if you get used to holding a mouse in one hand for precision and a PS/2 controller in the other hand for maximum control. Xbox controllers will not allow this method of play because of their construction. Just disable the Xbox controller option to use mouse as well with Xpadder. I tried playing with my PS/3, http://www.motioninjoy.com/ and http://betterds3.ciebiera.net/ but my wireless control (connected by USB) shut off too much. Sony PS/2 dualshock, the best controller ever made.

 

 

 

..I wish someone could have made it this simple for me! People carry on about so many things without getting to the point too, which makes for a lot of needless reading over a lot of space. Had to search a bazillion pages to get this info, nice to have it in one place.
