Get Snowy (zero scripts) instead of Wet&Cold fx. Set shadowblur in skyrimprefs to 6, and shadowresolution to either 512 or 1024.Īlso, use some light-weight mods instead of heavy mods. I can recommend Enhanced Landscapes, that mod makes use of that hack and makes landscapes MUCH more awesome.Īlso, lower your shadows setting and use soft-shadows in ENB instead. Insignificant Object RemoverĪnd the 'grass on steroids' hack is also very good. Experience potentially gigabytes of free space, with near-zero visual loss.Īnother tip: give your 'clutters' folder in textures another spin in Optimizer, since it doesn't matter if such small objects are 512 or 1024 anyway even upclose.Īlso, this mod is good. Paste your backup of Textures over your current Textures (remember an extra backup first). Ctrl+F for search in the backup-folder, write 'NOT *_n.dds', a lot of folders will show up, scroll down to all the files, select all the files, delete them all. How to reduce file size even more without any visual loss: Ive already tweaked my ini files pretty good, but I want to get better performance. You can not see ingame if such a file is 512 or 1k (since it is mostly a 'heightmap'), but you will notice a normal texture being 512 or 1k. Im playing Skyrim on a really low end PC and I want to get better FPS. The trick with Optimizer to get most out of it, is to reduce '*_n.dds' files twice as much as the normal files.
