you have by far the best guides for moding skyrim, I realy apreciate that you explain a lot of details that most might find trivial, I canot explain how helpful these guides are at teaching the viewer how to figure stuff out for themselves. I got back into moding just a week or two ago and thanks toy your guides I am fully able to troubleshoot and fix problems on my own, and if I cant do it myself understanding basic properties of files and exicutables makes checking forums and patch notes way easier.
This made massive improvements to my game video quality and fps. Thank you so much! I wouldn't have dared to tackle BethINI without your guidance but it was very easy.
Thanks man, i had no clue what to do to increase my fps while using the Elysium overhaul Your tutorial really helped me out here, works great and better FPS ! Thank you very much !
i subscibe to NO-ONE...but i instantly subbed and liked based on the first 10 seconds alone. you're not here to waste my time, i LOVE that. clear, concise, and summed up well!!
So far so good. It appears Beth ini had an update to the version on your video. They had some selections on a different tab. I believe I got them all to your specifications. Thank you. I love all the helpful videos people/players make to make skyrim se run better. Thumbs up
Great series man I seriously don't know what I would do without you😂 I've literally seen every single video you posted and they all really helped me feel really comfortable modding skyrim I'm 100% a PC newbie too so sir that's a feat to get me to fucking understand all of this . You deserve all the support dude. And I'd like to ask if the graphical improvements and the "free" fps you get from this method is really worth the hassle like i feel it has to be pretty significant for me to risk messing everything up.
Thanks for the easy to follow guide. I followed another guide listing stability mods and Bethini was recommended, but I didn't quite know what I was looking at when I got it.
I always go on about how the older elder scrolls games are better because of my nostalgia for Oblivion. But every time I discover a youtuber doing a modded graphics Skyrim I just can't resist. Beautiful game
I HONESTLY can't thank you enough, i'm running a pretty good set up with about 200 mods, felt a little choppy in some places but it's butter smooth now and looks even better, somehow? I know this is an old video and you may not even see this but you're appreciated greatly.
It is actually safe to increase ugridstoload to a certain extent. Safest ugrids numbers are everything below 8 (5-7). If you go above 7 this is where problems start to occur (too early quest updates and npcs doing things too early). If you want to have a noticeable draw distance increase switch to 7 from 5 but notice that you can't switch it back to default mid game because this might brake your save files. I recommend to create a "dummy" save file where you try out different graphical settings with performance and quality in mind. Once you have reached your optimal graphical setup you can start your official save file (new game) while knowing that you are good to go settings wise. By the way: the most demanding settings are related to shadows and lods, tweaking shadow settings and lod distances should increase your FPS the most.
Somebody started the "ugrids can be set to 7 and you're still safe" myth long ago and it's unfortunately still a common misconception. Because of the way scripts work in-game, setting Ugrids above 5 will eventually break your game. It's not just about performance here. The reason this misconception is so prevalent is because in short term tests with Ugrids set to 7, nothing will appear. Avoid Ugrids, do your Lods correctly and you won't have NPCs dying randomly late game.
Nice guide. Quick and easy. Just turned every distance slider up to absolute max with 8k textures everywhere. RTX3080. No prob. draw distances are nuts. About to try to find some 3d trees and try to find some high poly LOD meshes
Wow this was really usefull! I kept wondering why my inis didn't change in mod organizer and you pointed out that it had to be set in bethini's settings. Geez I feel so stupid haha. Thanks for the help ;) One sub more
This guide is fantastic overall; however, ugrids is perfectly stable at 7. I’ve completed two full play throughs on 7 and encountered no issues. it allows for much farther tree/grass loading. Gamerpoets also recommends setting it to 7, assuming your hardware is solid. If you push ugrids to 9 or higher, it has been proven to break quests and affect stability.
Thank you! In the beginning, I was wondering why is anything don't change. With your help, i set up the MO2 folder, and now this is working. (I'm sorry for my poor English)
Another great tutorial. I'm very new to Skyrim SE, slowly adding mods and necessary tools. I'm still getting stuck sometimes with mods and correct downloading but getting better. I have a question, comparing the assigned paths on your video, I noticed that you assigned the Mod Organizer path as if it was located on your main directory on D: disc. As you, I downloaded Steam to my D: but I though Mod Organizer 2 had to be on a different folder, together with all the modding utilities. Did I miss something? Thanks again for all the info you are providing with your video tutorials.
My MO2 is installed in the Skyrim game directory. I find it easier to move things around if I have to that way. That path is not recommended by the MO2 devs though, so I can't endorse doing that. The modding tools folder is where I recommend most people place MO2. I'm just prepared to deal with any ramifications of putting there.
@@aielias89 Thanks for the reply. Since I'm new modding the game, it's still very easy for me to make mistakes or to freak out when I see something that doesn't match with what I did. Good to know that I don't need to move MO2 to another folder though.
Hi, first of all thanks for the guide. Really nice and understandable. However.. it didn't solve my problem as I hoped but instead made it even worse. I was looking for a solution to my FPS dropping everytime I enable my ENB settings ingame (Skyrim SE). When I toggle my ENB on (ingame) I get a significant 25-30 fps drop. While in vanilla I did have a solid 50-60fps (in forest areas with grass mods installed). So after searching for a solution I found this video and was happy to find out that the problem might be the .ini file, as I've never used beth.ini and obviously the .ini path was not set up and linked to my MO2 profile yet, So I did everything like in the video, especially reducing the Shadow Resolution to 2048 like here 4:10. I saved the settings and launched my game via SKSE. Back ingame I could see that the textures and graphics looked better BUT... my fps only went up by 3-5fps (with ENB enabled) and my game was even laggier than before I set up my profile.ini with Bethini. I don't know if that makes sense, as I have at least more fps now (even if not much) but my game feels even sloppier than before (performance wise). I'd really appreciate if anyone could help. I spent days setting up my mod list without playing (at 300+ mods now) just to find out that my game feels unplayable (with enb) now. This way, I might even wanna unlink my profile ini settings from bethini and play it like before where it was at 28-32 fps which felt smoother than 35 fps now. Don't understand..
I've noticed an issue. When I stop, the sky brightens up. When I move, its "normal". Also, with shadows. They are on when I stop and disappear when I move. I figured out the sky issue when I changed settings from Ultra to High. I have 1660 TI, so I'm guessing that fixed that. Even though GeForce experience said Ultra. I see where I can turn off shadows, but I don't want to do that. I plan on upgrading graphic card this year. So, this is a temp issue, I guess. It also appears it doesn't stutter as much when I lowered settings too.
I tried this out and i liked the way things looked, but when i go through a loading door now i get an infinite loading screen, anyone know why this might be happening with this?
Vortex does not have a VFS. Just download and run it like any other application and point it's ini path to your Documents/Skyrim Special Edition folder.
I have nexus mod manager mostly because I don't wanna restart with a new mod organizer, so I don't know what to do for the INI path option during setup
@@aielias89 I must agree with you,i gotta try learn how use it someday, sadly i'm tryng create an modlist for my game since december Lol but im always changing something but hopefully i can play during the year once i finish it , thanks for the advice bro for sure i will follow
When I open BethINI, I select Skyrim Special Edition but then it just gets stuck on "Please Wait Loading." Any idea on how to fix this, do I need to move around any Skyrim files? I bought it through Steam btw.

wow, this was amazing guide. so informative and short, i wonder why you dont have more views
I still believe it's because Ai's videos have horrible tagging.
Straight to the point. This actually was really helpful :)!
This is the best, easiest, straight to the point tutorial i've seen yet, subscribed!
I speak spanish so I understand little English but it has been useful, short and straight to the point. Thank you!!
Thank you very much, this is by far the most usefull video for Skyrims INI tweaking. I'm a happy Archmage now (with more decals).
just love these old videos, they even still work after 6 years :)
This made massive improvements to my game video quality and fps. Thank you so much! I wouldn't have dared to tackle BethINI without your guidance but it was very easy.
I always seem to come back to these videos! Amazing work man. I have even seen multiple big TH-camrs plug your tutorials.
You're a legend man! Your videos are far superior than anything else out there when it comes to modding Skyrim, keep em coming!
Your suggestions worked on the ENB Video! Just wanted to thank you!
Man, video posted in 2019 and you've still not exploded, I used your guide then and I am using it again now, fantastic work
Thanks man, i had no clue what to do to increase my fps while using the Elysium overhaul
Your tutorial really helped me out here, works great and better FPS !
Thank you very much !

Ty vm for the guide, helped a lot o/!
thanks man. really appreciate this even after all these years. can you make a similar video for bethini pie?
Bonjour. Thank you very much for this video. Big up from France
good guide im new to modding so it was quick and easy im just really hopping on it being compatible with a bunch of overhaul graphical mods lol

You completing the game =/= stable. At 7 it is NOT stable, this is well known.
great video, as always :D
"Was this video helpful? Good"
In other words, "You came here because you had low FPS and I KNOW I helped you."
Leave a like.
Thank you! In the beginning, I was wondering why is anything don't change. With your help, i set up the MO2 folder, and now this is working. (I'm sorry for my poor English)
Thanks man i was having an issue with load times
What happends if i am using vortex?
This is extremly helpfull, how have i never heard of this, im terrible at settings lol

Really helpful, thank you! Only issue I had was in the BethINI Setup tab, the only INI Path available was Mod Organizer > Default. Is that ok?
just followed ur tutorial. Hope this will work when i run the game from MO2
Thanks!!!
when I try to launch bethini nothing happens
turn off your antivirus for 5 minute

I’ve followed this tutorial to the letter, however none of the tweaks have been applied in game. All paths are set correctly.
thanks a lot!
Thank you very much.
which mods r u using in this video? i love the graphic xD
BethINI crashes right away whenever I try to open and when I go back to the files, the exe is suddenly gone.
great tool and video
Ske wont launch from mod organizer 2 now? :(

I have enb an sse after installing enb I had blur fixed that then stutters happen
does Bethini Pie work with SkSE or is Bethini Pie only for the un-modded version
Ugrids to 7 or 9 is fine. It doesn't break quests
I tried this out and i liked the way things looked, but when i go through a loading door now i get an infinite loading screen, anyone know why this might be happening with this?
Hmm, that doesn't sound like some that should happen because of Bethini. Did this happen before you used it?
Bit late but the child overhaul mods were causing infinite loading screen for me , theres a fix if that was your issue
SSE Engine Fixes could possibly fix this If you are having trouble.
what did i need to put in the ini path and mod organizer sections again i cant get it to work
I love Bethany
The music you use reminds me of persona 4
how do i find my modding utilities folder? what folder is that even?
My Ambient occlusion option is just a check box, no full or lite option. What do I do?
I have it extracted but I'm totally lost on how to do the rest, I'm not very good with this sort of thing. Also, do you need Mo2?
I'm assuming this is not compatible with Vortex? I'm new to modding so I use Vortex
Bethini works just fine with Vortex. :)
Ai Elias Cool. Please tell me where I should apply it.
Vortex does not have a VFS. Just download and run it like any other application and point it's ini path to your Documents/Skyrim Special Edition folder.
Ai Elias Ok. And I should leave it’s Game Path to “NOT FOUND”? And it runs fine if I launch Skyrim Se from SKSE?
No point the game path to SSE.
I have nexus mod manager mostly because I don't wanna restart with a new mod organizer, so I don't know what to do for the INI path option during setup
Set it to you normal document folder INIs.
Thank you
This software is godsent
beth ini ultra make the distance rendering soo short im not gonna use it any more grass distance is extremely short .....
Does something change if we are talking about vortex user? BTW good video 👍
Nope just make sure that the INI path is set to the ones by your save folder. But I don't recommend Vortex, MO2 is the superior mod manager.
