The first one will unrender areas you can’t physically see while indoors, but make sure you load it fairly high in the load order so that other mods can overwrite it where necessary.
Once you have these, install Skyrim Project Optimization and Paramount FPS Galore for Newrim.
Now comes the part that will benefit you greatly if you took the time and learned how to mod the game.įirst up, we’ve got two fixes mods that might not directly improve performance, but will fix a ton of issues with the game itself and its engine, and they are: Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch & SSE Engine Fixes. So make sure to increase that one ( or check after you click on different presets to see how it changed).
If you reduce the value it has the opposite effect. Other settings too, but Skyrim is usually badly performing outdoors.Īlso, the grass setting is counter intuitive. Generally speaking the outdoors draw distance as well as detailed draw distance is what will net you a lot of extra FPS. If you want to edit more, put your mouse on top of any setting and a tooltip will show up with detailed explanation of what that setting does.

Now that you’ve got some basics on what not to do, let’s see what you should do. They will clog up your vRAM and kill your game with stuttering. I won’t link it because you’re better off without it.ĭo not install custom high resolution textures. Stay away from CPU heavy mods like Warzones. On SE they are so badly optimized, I quickly uninstalled mine ( won’t name it but the performance loss was terrible). An ENB will absolutely tank your FPS on a modest machine. Never use an ENB, especially for Skyrim SE. It would really help if you knew how to install Skyrim mods but even without this you will be able to achieve some tremendous results by following what you’re about to see here.Ĭouple of things to note, in terms of what you should never do. <<<<<<< idk if it works, but it doesnt hurtįArchiveInitBufferMB=8.0000 <<<<< or 16.0000, i had 16 atm and didnt see any negative impact.If you want to increase Skyrim’s performance and boost FPS through the roof, there’s quite a few different things that you can do. btw it goes in 5,7,9,11 steeps)īDispla圜loudLOD=1 <<< ? new, delete if there are any issues.
