@@PlayerGuides I played around a little and the biggest change I noticed was toggling the ENB on or off. A difference of 20 FPS. I'll play and tweak some more and report back! Oh and BethIni is amazing btw, thanks for highlighting it!
No probs, glad I could help! ENB on SE is horrible in terms of performance, you can search for some optimization techniques to help a bit, but it's not going to be as performance friendly as on SE. I have a video on that in the playlist somewhere as well.
@@PlayerGuides I'm now sitting comfortably between 40 and 60 FPS with Rudy ENB, tweaked down grass from 40 to 60 and an ini tweak using Bethini set to ultra. It's so much better!
Maybe it didn't pick up on your config files paths, that's usually why there's no difference. If you're modding via MO2, you have separate configs inside the profile directory. Happened to me once too.
Question, will the amount of mods I have effect my performance? Ik it depends on the mods I have but the ones I could only see that would effect them are like my landscaping ones and stuff. How do these mods blend with landscaping ones and spell enhancement mods.
- Textures, depending on your GPU arent really a problem, of course, dont use 4K texture unless you play on a 4K Monitor with a 4K resolution and no need to us 2K texture if you play in 1080p, you wont see much difference so optimise your textures once you finished modding your skyrim. - Visuals mods ARENT the only performance hungry stuff, if you have lots of heavy script mods (like frostfall, hunterborn, iNeed) etc... well... running script on the back WILL impact your performance, again... Skyrim wasnt made to support all this, even if your Skyrim can look like it was made on Unreal Engine 5... it ISNT Unreal Engine 5, so dont stress your Skyrim too much.
im not ttryna improve my fps , im tryna lower my dang ol' CPU tampereture , i tried everything even capping cpu and gpu power to half and its still keeps the same
you need mods for tree , rock , grass , water , lights effects and textures cause you can simply put other textures down by placing these in your game cfg files inside game folder iTexMipMapSkip=4 iTexMipMapMinimum=4
I've been using your video as a guide and have been installing all of the mods so far, I can tell BethINI improved it slightly. Right now I'm trying to install the FPS Galore for Newrim mod and it doesn't specify WHERE it should be installed, should I simply place it in my Skyrim SE directory or should I put it in the Data folder, or somewhere else? I appreciate the help, usually there's a readme file that says where to install but it doesn't come with one.
@@PlayerGuides I'm sorry but I didn't mention that I'm also brand new to modding Skyrim; I checked on Nexus in the posts area but there weren't any questions on the install. By install like any other mod, do I just place the contents in the directory? Sorry if these are dumb questions, I'm not too great with this stuff.
@@atfdef908 You could, but then you'd be installing mods manually, and I highly recommend you avoid that because it becomes impossible to remove them later on when you have thousands of files. :) So if you're new to modding Skyrim, I have a beginner video in the description of all of my Skyrim guides. You can also see it (along with many others) in the playlist (also description). There's no way you'll miss it. So check that one out, and then anything else that you're interested in (got lots of different stuff in the playlist). :)
@@PlayerGuides Thank you, I followed the first video and have the Mod Organizer set up, went ahead and did a fresh install of Skyrim from Steam and now I'm gonna use it to download/set up the rest of the mods, I appreciate it :^).
@@atfdef908 Awesome, and remember - don't go too crazy with mods. My general rule of thumb is to ask yourself do you 'really' need this or that, will you realistically ever see it, encounter it, play it often etc. If you install mods like that, you'll avoid sooooo many issues, I speak from experience. :)
I wonder if this is even necessary for me I had a bunch of mods running with vortex on ultra just fine using 9900k and a 3070 and I just don't want to brick something or create problems for myself. I just did a clean wipe and started from scratch with mo2 so that i can get a proper clean set up going that can be managed easily. The more I think about it I probably don't want the tweaks except the 2 bug fixes patches which are already installed.
Yeah MO2 is the best Keeps everything separate and is fairly easy to use if you understand the process I tried vortex before but mo2 was easier to get around in And if something goes wrong nothing really happens cause the mods are in a separate folder
Question: from your point of view, should i even try installing hdt smp and following your guide or it will be complete waste of time with a system: intel core i5-2500 3.3ghz, 8 Gb RAM, GeForce GTX 1050 ti? With ppl mentioning cards like rtx 2080, processors Ryzen i have doubts lol
Always keep drivers up to date, yeah. :) Btw if you're on desktop, get this free Chrome/Opera extension to enhance TH-cam and see stuff you've never seen before: www.tubebuddy.com/PlayerGuides :)
Im having a problem with the Setup tab. When I go to the INI Path drop down menu there isn't a "Full Build" or "Default" option. It wants me to browse for the INI file! How do I fix this?
What happens? Just go to that area where they are and navigate to the MO2 profile folder where the main profile is located (with INI files in it). If you don't know where that is, go into MO2 and go to settings and you'll find it. :)
Some mods can work between editions. Textures (but not meshes) will also always work. Generally there's also a relatively simple process to convert most of the smaller mods so you could look that up. Try it and see what happens. Pozdrav. :)
I might be late with my comment, but at first I accidentaly used some of these mods on Legendary Edition (like SSE Engine Fixes and the unnoficial SE patch) and it turned out that my game would not start at all through SKSE. I fixed it by removing these and finding the equivalent of these mods on Nexus, under Vanilla Skyrim. Maybe it happened only to me but it is worth noting for someone who might have the same issue. Thanks for the awesome guide!
@@PlayerGuides how can i do that? and how can i remove this program in my game? the mod is good but sir cant play like that when the mouse is like that
On Skyrim SE I would highly suggest you stay away from ENBs as they are simply not as optimized as on LE. With that being said, you 'can' make the game look good with a careful selection of mods. Check out my playlist for videos on that. :)
When i use Bethini to emprove my settings and start game ,all its okey but when i play and alt+tab the game , my settings chanage to something different pls help
Oh wow. Well, if it's a bug then you need to write on the posts area of the nexus page for bethini, or check the 'bugs' section. But maybe you're not saving the settings before you exit? You have to go back to the tab where you have 'save and exit'. I know it sounds stupid but it's easily overlooked. :)
I think you maybe didn't point it to the correct ini files. This can happen often if you're modding via MO2 for example and you're editing vanilla inis. :)
Bethini dose not work and if you have mods already and play the game from SKSE it will completly brake your game and you will have to uninstall everything
You've got something else going on, BethINI simply edits the INI files. If you're modding via MO2 then you need to make sure to point the path to the INI files for your MO2 profile.
So much misinformation here, where to start. First of all you tell people to stay away from enbs. For the most part thats somewhat true, however you dont need to use crazy enb's like snapdragon or enbs that use every option. Those are the ones that become fps drags. If you use the base enb from boris you can still have good quality with a minimal fps hit. The problem is you say dont use enbs but you provide no alternative when there is one, its called RESHADE. You can get enb quality if you use RESHADE which has zero performance hit on your system. If you're not using and enb or reshade then why bother playing the game? You might as well play vanilla trash with nothing installed. My point is that you can have good graphics and performance at the same time if you set up your system right.
