[Mod] USP - Ultimate Skyrim Performance 2023-10-20

A Mod to Optimize Skyrim

  1. Felipe
    =====Description=====

    This mod encompasses my methods on achieving optimal performance. It also provides links to
    reliable sources that boost performance as well as providing tweaks to enhance performance.

    =====What it does=====

    Currently, there are two skyrimprefs.ini tweaks that either disable shadows are alter
    them in a way that boosts performance. Completely removing shadows provides the greatest
    performance boost. Also, the latest Skyboost mod also works great in conjunction with these tweaks.

    =====Installation=====

    You can either place the modified skyrimprefs.ini in your My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\
    folder or you can modify the flowing values in your current skyrimprefs.ini
    Note: My personal .ini file may not work with every copy of Skyrim so I recommend changing the
    values in your personal skyrimprefs.ini to the following:

    =====Values for no Shadows======

    iShadowMapResolutijavascript-event-stripped0
    iShadowMapResolutijavascript-event-stripped0
    iShadowMapResolution=0

    =====Values for fast Shadows=====

    iShadowMapResolutijavascript-event-stripped512
    iShadowMapResolutijavascript-event-stripped512
    iBlurDeferredShadowMask=6
    iShadowMapResolution=512

    =====My Experience with these settings and mods=====

    I went from around 30 FPS on max settings in Whiterun to a solid 60 FPS!
