This is a guide for modders and players who are already so into Ultimate Skyrim because of Belmont Boy's excellent guide that they have become patrons and have access to beta builds of 4.0.

This guide will not show you how to install the beta - that is for patrons only. This guide is for those who want a starting point for adding heavier textures on the primary build without making the game unplayable from an FPS standpoint.

Note: this is work in progress and may change. There will be glitches. I will only post changes I have found to be stable. There are a LOT of texture modifications, and I know this is a matter of taste. This build just shows you where I am right now in experimentation, feel free to change or leave out textures that you think don't fit.

First: Can Your Machine Handle This?

Skyrim Realistic Overhaul (download parts 1, 2, and 3, and the 1.8 update for Oldrim) Noble Skyrim Note: I use A. NSM - FULL PACK, use B for lower VRAM. Also download the SMIM patch. Superior Rock Textures (I recommend default Dark Grey) 4K Parallax Mines (Get 1.0 and the 1.1 Update) 2K-4K Parallax Bridges; RUSTIC Nordic Murals; RUSTIC Windows. Find the mod in your Mod Organizer/mods directory, navigate to your US folder/SkyProc Patchers/Requiem, and overwrite Reqtificator.ini there with the version of the file in my download archive. Eighth: Final Steps (Again).

Guide Version: 0.3.1

The current version is certainly more system-taxing than the default Ultimate build, but not a great deal. I can run this installation with the ENB on (Depth-of-Field disabled) and most textures at 2K (or 2K normals with 1K maps) at 40-60 FPS depending on the location and the circumstances. My specs on the main test rig:

Windows 10 Home 64-bit
i5-6600 (3.3 GHz)
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Second: Download Additional Mods and Textures

Before you start: copy your existing Mod Organizer profile so that you will have a clean working area to mess with this and, if you end up not liking it, you can go right back to your working installation.

The following instructions should help you get your system set up with the same configuration I have. Begin by downloading the following mods, and if you have options for texture sizes, judge by your current hardware. With the specs I listed above I am usually running 2K textures or 2K textures with 1K normal maps if the modder has made that option available.

Landscape / Architecture
Skyrim Realistic Overhaul (download parts 1, 2, and 3, and the 1.8 update for Oldrim)
Noble Skyrim Note: I use A. NSM - FULL PACK, use B for lower VRAM. Also download the SMIM patch.
Superior Rock Textures (I recommend default Dark Grey)
4K Parallax Mines (Get 1.0 and the 1.1 Update)
Realistic Aspen Trees Note: Also download the Billboards.
4k Parallax Treebark Note: Also download the RAT 4k leaves and the RAT patch.

People and Critters
TEOS - True Elk of Skyrim (an older mod I had lying around, appears to have disappeared from the Nexus)
Skysight Skins HD - get the real feet meshes. Or don't.
True Daughters of Skyrim - pick one of the Vanilla options.
Coverkhajits (get both male and female files)
Superior Lore-Friendly Hair (I use the 2k Rough version)
Ethereal Elven Overhaul - I also grab the Hi-Res Texture Pack

Things
Joy of Ships (also get the optional 'Joy of Parallax Ships')
RUSTIC Oven (I'm using 2k SparrowDome)
SLOD Potions and Poisons - pick a flavor you like. I use Ceramic. You'll need two files.
High Poly Project (get the main file and the hotfix)

Third: Disable a Few and Install a Bunch

Begin by disabling these mods from the US beta installation (assuming you installed them) - that is, uncheck the box in the Mod Organizer (MO) left pane:

aMidianBorn (amb) Landscape with Terrain Parallax 2k
aMidianBorn farmhouse & stone wall add-on
Vivid Landscapes Rocking Stones (and the ENB files if you added them)
Unmasked Faces
Unmasked Faces Beasts
GrassOnSteroids

I recommend installing the mods in the download order I provided above. They will need to be shifted around after installation - I will provide load order files and hand-holding guidance here to get you through that.

For Forgotten Argonian Roots, I've found the easiest way was just to do two installations, selecting the data folder under 'Males' for one and under 'Females' for the other. I do the same for Coverkhajits.

For the EEO USLEEP Patch, if you're doing my build, leave the default option in the FOMOD selected.

For Embers HD I like to install the Forges add-on, the HD Fire Effects patch, and the Realistic HD Blacksmith patch along with the fireplace and lava options.

For Farmhouse Chimneys, I recommend using the parallax meshes; be sure to check 'Cutting Room Floor' and also select the patches for ETaC and Wyrmstooth (assuming you have all of these in your build). Don't select any of Arthmoor's villages.

For High Poly Project, after installation hide meshes/clutter/silver/silvergoblet01.nif. Hide the same file in the HPP Hotfix, and in the hotfix also hide meshes/clutter/silver/silverplate01.nif. This fixes issues with texture failures in the center of silver plates and the rings around the bases of one type of silver goblets.

Fourth: Mod Organizer Ordering, Left Pane

Place the following list of mods just after the USLEEP Patch:

Skyrim Realistic Overhaul Part 1
Skyrim Realistic Overhaul Part 2

Noble Skyrim - after install, hide the landscape folder
RUSTIC Nordic Murals
RUSTIC Windows

Place these mods in this order just after Storms - Hotfixed:

HD Horker

Just after Ultimate Skyrim and the patches, place the following:

High Poly Project
HPP Hotfix

Fifth: Mod Organizer Ordering, Right Pane

Just after the Ultimate patches, place these in this order:

FarmhouseChimneys.esp
FarmhouseChimneysCRF.esp
FarmhouseChimneysWyrmstooth.esp
fallentreebridges.esp
ethereal_elven_overhaul.esp
JZBai_PracticalFemaleArmors.esp
AK- Modesty Mod.esp
SkyrimImprovedPuddles-DG-HF-DB.esp
EmbersHD.esp
Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin.esp

Sixth: INI changes and other config tweaks

In skyrim.ini, change iMinGrassTypesPerTexure to 15 and change iMinGrassSize to 70.

Important: EEO requires you to update the Reqtificator.ini file. I recommend reinstalling Ultimate Skyrim (4.0) under another name (if you want to keep old profiles), because that installation contains the file that needs to be modified. Find the mod in your Mod Organizer/mods directory, navigate to [your US folder]/SkyProc Patchers/Requiem, and in the Reqtificator.ini you'll find there, place 'ethereal_elven_overhaul.esp' (no quotes) under both [RaceVisuals] and [NPCVisuals].

Seventh: Final Steps (Again)

At this point, it is necessary to rebuild some of the patches in the 'Final Steps' segment of the Ultimate Skyrim build. To be safe I recommend that you back up your old ones and rebuild all of them, but it is probably not really necessary to rebuild FNIS or Automatic Variants.

If you got here, congratulations, and thanks for checking out my build-in-progress. I hope it adds some joy - and not too much lag - to your game.

Notes

I check the Ultimate Skyrim subreddit - infrequently - as /u/rodericktech, and I am rodericktech in the US Discord on the occasions when I hang out there. If you run into trouble or find that this guide is missing a step or otherwise broken, please let me know. I don't have the time, unfortunately, to walk everyone through minor issues by hand, but if you follow these instructions and use your imagination I think you should be fine.

If your game has serious bugs / glitches that you think may be related to this configuration, do let me know.

Many thanks to Belmont Boy for the work he has done on Ultimate Skyrim in the first place. He has transformed Skyrim into a game I enjoy coming back to again and again. I hope this little contribution to the community expresses at least part of my gratitude.

See you around - unless you take an arrow in the knee,

- rodericktech

This is a sort of walkthrough aimed especially at newer modders who are getting into Ultimate Skyrim via Belmont Boy's excellent guide and have an interest in adding mods for (arguably) more interesting or intense weather and somewhat higher-quality visuals.

I'd like to say before I begin that Ultimate Skyrim, configured directly out of the manual, is quite stunning visually given the FPS possibilities. But if you want to squeeze a little more eye candy out of the installation - assuming your rig can handle it - here's your starter guide.

Note: this is work in progress and may change. There will be glitches. I will only post changes I have found to be stable.

Prequel: Do You Want Vivid Weathers Alone?

The following is a guide to more or less help you build the same mod configuration that I am currently playing. But if you don't want the additional texture weight, it is possible to just swap Climates of Tamriel out and put Vivid Weathers in for little performance loss.

The quickstart manual:

Copy your Mod Organizer (MO) profile to a new one for this build. Back up your existing 'Final Steps' patches just in case.
Download (a) Vivid Weathers and the ENB from the first link you'll find below under the Second step, and also get (b) the True Storms and AOS Patch provided by /u/SrGatonegro.
Disable Climates of Tamriel-V, Remove Big Blurry Snowflakes, and RealVision ENB from your MO left pane.
Install Vivid Weathers (I recommend Medium resolution, extended Rain effects - NO EXTENDED SNOW, this does not work with Real Shelter), and only install the patch for Falskaar. Install True Storms and AOS patch. Place Vivid Weathers, followed by the patch, just under the disabled Climates of Tamriel in the MO left pane.
Install the VW ENB and put it under the disabled RealVision ENB in the MO left pane. Swap out the ENB files in your Skyrim folder as the installer instructs you to do. (Details below if you need a little more guidance there.)
Re-install the Ultimate Skyrim compatibility patches, removing the patch for Climates of Tamriel / True Storms.
In your MO right pane, move Vivid Weathers.esp, VW - Falskaar, and VW - Extended Rain (if you installed this) after WetandCold - Ashes.esp and just before Holidays.esp. Then put the True Storms and AOS patch just after the other Ultimate Skyrim patches.
Download my configuration files and replace your skryim.ini, skyrimprefs.ini, and enblocal.ini, making changes for your system as necessary.
Rebuild (at minimum) these patches from final steps - Real Shelter (reinstall then rebuild), iActivate, DynDOLOD, and Requiem for the Indifferent.
Launch and profit.

Of course, if you want to add a few other visual enhancements, feel free to read on for detailed instructions.

First: Can Your Machine Handle This?

Guide Version: 0.3.2

Windows 10 Home 64-bit
i5-6600 (3.3 GHz)
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

If you run with no ENB (or with ENBoost alone), or if you disable a few more ENB options (especially Ambient Occlusion), you can increase FPS significantly without altering the setup. The only situations where I notice things dragging (and when they become difficult to make smooth with my default ENB config) are during intense rain or snow storms in NPC-heavy areas.

If this sounds workable to you, especially if you prefer Vivid Weathers to Climates of Tamriel, give it a go!

Second: Download Additional Mods and Textures

Weather and Water
True Storms and AOS Patch provided by /u/SrGatonegro
Character Enhancements
Landscape and Items
Skyrim Realistic Overhaul (download all five files)
Final Additions
Skyrim Modesty Mod (Covers most NPCs; a few exceptions from the Inconsequential NPCs mod)

Third: Disable a Few and Install a Bunch

Begin by disabling these mods from the US installation (if you installed them) - that is, uncheck the box in the Mod Organizer (MO) left pane:

Climates of Tamriel-V
XCE (Xenius Character Enhancement)
Unmasked Faces
Unmasked Faces Beasts
aMidianBorn (amb) Landscape with Terrain Parallax 2k
Vivid Landscapes Rocking Stones (and the ENB files if you added them)
GrassOnSteroids
Remove Big Blurry Snowflakes
RealVision ENB

You'll also need to reinstall the Ultimate Skyrim compatibility patches. (Use a different name if you want to retain your previous profile.) The only change to make here is to not install the Climates of Tamriel + True Storms patch.

I recommend installing the mods in the download order I provided above. Several of them will need to be shifted around after installation - I will provide load order files and hand-holding guidance here to get you through that.

We'll need to rebuild our Real Shelter Patch after we're done. For that purpose, I reinstall Real Shelter under a different name in MO.

For any installations that provide a texture size / quality option - i.e., Vivid Weathers, Realistic Water ENB Textures - I recommend a 'Medium' or 'Moderate' choice, again depending on your hardware. For Vivid Weathers, I recommend the Extended Rain additions, and you'll need the Falskaar and Wyrmstooth patches if you have either of those mods installed. DO NOT INSTALL EXTENDED SNOW for Vivid Weathers, as this conflicts with Real Shelter and you will have problems. In addition, there is no need to install patches in Vivid Weathers for AOS or True Storms because the patch linked above as part of this build handles all that for us and prevents us from needing to re-enable AOS.esp and TrueStorms.esp as masters. Finally, make sure you don't install any patches for ELE as this lighting is not used in the base Ultimate build.

For WICO Manual artcam 2018. (Windsong Immersive), I recommend customizing (choose what you like) - I go with Less Flush Face Textures, Clean Body Textures, and the USLEEP Patch only.

For the EEO USLEEP Patch, if you're doing my build, leave the default option in the FOMOD selected.

For Embers HD I like to install the Forges add-on, the HD Fire Effects patch, and the Realistic HD Blacksmith patch along with the fireplace and lava options.

For Farmhouse Chimneys, I recommend using the parallax meshes; be sure to check 'Live Another Life & Cutting Room Floor' and also select the patches for ETaC, Falskaar and Wyrmstooth (assuming you have all of these in your build). Don't select any of Arthmoor's villages.

For RUSTIC Monuments and Tombstones, I use the ELFX patch option in the FOMOD.

Fourth: Mod Organizer Ordering, Left Pane

I put Vivid Weathers just after Climates of Tamriel (which you should have disabled), just before True Storms. The VW True Storms and AOS patch should go at the bottom, below the Ultimate Skyrim Compatibility Patches.

After DVA (Dynamic Vampire Appearance), I place the following in this order:

WICO - Windsong Immersive Character Overhaul
Ethereal Elven Overhaul
Ethereal Elven Overhaul - DLC Patch
Ethereal Elven Overhaul - USLEEP Update
Beards (moved here, up to your discretion)
Brows (moved here, up to your discretion)

Realistic Water ENB Textures and Watercolor should go right after Realistic Water Two.

After Ruins Clutter Improved (which follows SMIM), I place the following in this order:

Skyrim Realistic Overhaul (Parts 1, 2, 3, 1.7 Update, then the Update patch)
HD Misc
HQ Food and Ingredients
Farmhouse Chimneys

Then you should have Vivid Landscapes Dungeons and Ruins and HD Terrain Enhanced Pro. Follow those with:

Hybrids Hires Plant and Herb Textures
Realistic HD Blacksmith
Embers HD
RUSTIC Monuments and Tombstones
Skyrim Improved Puddles (I use 2048)
Vivid Landscapes Tundra Moss Revised - Yellow
DROPS
HD Ivy
Replacement Ivy
The 418th Step
RUSTIC Nordic Murals
Enchanting Candles Improved
HD Reworked Baskets
Horncandles
Realistic Instruments
Retexture for Bread - Hearthfire
RUSTIC Potions and Poisons
Septim HD

After these should come No Snow Under the Roof, etc. Moving farther down, place RUSTIC Windows after aMidianBorn (amb) Farmhouse Stonewall addon. Much farther down, place HQ Paper after Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library.

Near the bottom, just after the (now disabled) RealVision ENB, place the following:

Skyrim Modesty Mod
Vivid Weathers ENB Install
Ultimate HD Fire Effects
Verdant
Verdant Edited

..after which should come Ultimate Skyrim and the patches.

Fifth: Mod Organizer Ordering, Right Pane

Place FarmhouseChimneys.esp and FarmhouseChimneysFalskaar.esp just after Dawn Of Series RS Patch.esp.

Under WetandCold - Ashes.esp and before Holidays.esp, place these:

Vivid Weathers.esp
Vivid Weathers - Falskaar.esp
Vivid Weathers - Extended Rain (if you installed)

Under Randomized Word Walls.esp, place the following:

WICO - Immersive Character.esp
WICO - Immersive People.esp
WICO - USLEP Compatible Patch.esp
ethereal_elven_overhaul.esp

Moving down over halfway, place FarmhouseChimneysLAL+CRF.esp after Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp. Closer to the end, place Chesko_Step418_SN.esp and AK- Modesty Mod.esp after WWNightEye.esp.

After RealisticWaterTwo - Falskaar.esp, you should have:

Watercolor_for_ENB_RWT.esp
Skyrim Particle Patch for ENB - Flame Atronach
SkyrimImprovedPuddles-DG-HF-DB.esp
EmbersHD.esp
Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin.esp

..and after this comes Ultimate Skyrim and the patches. Finally, place the True Storms and AOS Patch (Ultimate Skyrim - Vivid Weathers + True Storms.esp) just after the other Ultimate Skyrim compatibility patch ESPs.

Sixth: ENB Installation

If you're going to use the Vivid Weathers ENB - which I recommend - jump into your Mod Organizer folder and go to mods/Vivid Weathers ENB Install. You'll find the files you need to copy into your Skyrim folder in 'Vivid Weathers ENB Install Files'. Before you do this, you will need to remove the RealVision ENB files. You can do this via the provided installer that Belmont Boy uses for the installation in 'Final Steps', or you can use a tool like ENB and ReShade Manager, which I prefer. The Manager makes going back and forth between ENB configurations easy.

Once you've switched from RealVision to Vivid Weathers ENB files, you will also need to tweak your enblocal.ini file. I'll cover this in the next section.

Reqtificator Download Pc

Seventh: INI changes and other config tweaks

I could walk through the small tweaks required, but it would probably be easier for you to just pull over my config files and then make other changes as necessary for your system.

Assuming you have a new MO profile, you can just overwrite your INI files in MO with my own, copy my enblocal.ini to your Skyrim folder and check your loadorder.txt and plugins.txt against mine if you're paranoid. If you want to disable Depth of Field (or other settings) by default in the ENB, you can do that in the enbseries.ini file that you recently copied into your Skyrim folder.

Important: WICO and EEO require you to update the Reqtificator.ini file. I recommend reinstalling Ultimate Skyrim (3.4) under another name (if you want to keep old profiles), because that installation contains the file that needs to be modified. Find the mod in your Mod Organizer/mods directory, navigate to [your US folder]/SkyProc Patchers/Requiem, and overwrite Reqtificator.ini there with the version of the file in my download archive.

Eighth: Final Steps (Again)

At this point, it is necessary to rebuild some of the patches in the 'Final Steps' segment of the Ultimate Skyrim build. To be safe I recommend that you back up your old ones and rebuild all of them - FNIS, then Real Shelter (make a new executable in MO for your reinstalled plugin if you followed me on that earlier), iActivate, Automatic Variants, DynDOLOD, and finally the Reqtificator.

If you got here, congratulations! I know this adds a fair bit of clock time to the already-heavy Ultimate build, but for me the visual boost - and the weather change - are worth it.

Notes

I check the Ultimate Skyrim subreddit frequently as /u/rodericktech. If you run into trouble or find that this guide is missing a step or otherwise broken, please let me know. I don't have the time, unfortunately, to walk everyone through minor issues by hand, but if you follow these instructions closely I think you should be fine.

If your game has serious bugs / glitches that you think may be related to this configuration, do let me know.

I owe thanks to /u/SrGatonegro, who improved this initial build by putting a patch together that eliminated the need for re-adding AOS and True Storms as masters while making the Vivid Weathers addition cleaner.

See you around - unless you take an arrow in the knee,
