BethINI

Starfield and Fallout 4 support: Bethini Pie

STEP Wiki Link

BethINI (pronounced "Bethany") is an attempt to restore decency to the INI configuration files for games created by Bethesda, while optimizing your game settings for optimal graphical fidelity and performance. It currently supports Oblivion, Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Fallout 4. It arose out of my research into the Skyrim INI files over on STEP.

Why You Need This

There are many advantages to using BethINI:

1. It automatically reorders your INI files into a sensible order, making them much easier to navigate for manual tweaking.

2. It automatically fixes common errors, including some that can cause CTDs.

3. It automatically detects mods you have installed and makes changes recommended by the mod authors where deemed appropriate. If your mod or a mod you know of requires such support, please contact me, as this is the easiest thing in the world to implement.

4. It's presets are superior in graphical fidelity and performance (95% of the time) to the official presets one can create via the game launcher.

5. It allows for the modification of more settings than is accessible via native game settings, and provides explanation for each setting and what it does.

6. It automatically backs up your INI files.

7. For Skyrim, it automatically configures the Creation Kit to support multiple masters and any installed DLC, if enabled.

TL;DR

BethINI fixes your INI files and lets you tweak your INI files to improve performance and quality.

AHK Script version instructions:
