📋 About This Mod
=============================== Skyrim Configuration Menu v 1. 0 =============================== Brodual was kind enough to make a nice little spotlight of SCM. Thanks Brodual! o1jgSeqmnD8 0. Background 1. Description 2. Requirements 3. Installation 4. Playing the plug-in 5. Save games 6. Conflicts/Known Errors 7. Credits/Permissions received 8. Contact and Information =============== 0. BACKGROUND =============== This is the first mod I have ever developed. It is arguably pretty pointless in its present state, but I really liked the new Mod Configuration Menu from the awesome SkyUI folks and decided to give it a try with this idea. If it becomes possible, I would like to expand and improve this mod, so as an amateur I welcome any feedback, suggestions, constructive criticism, etc. =============== 1. DESCRIPTION =============== This is a small mod/utility that uses the awesome Mod Configuration Menu from SkyUI to extend the in-game Skyrim settings. These settings are all available from the MCM under \"Skyrim Config\". I started with some of the basic INI settings that seem to be changed fairly commonly from what I understand. There were many more that I would have liked to put in, but many of them could not be updated from within the game or had other issues. My inexperience may be the obstacle in some of these cases. These settings are NOT altered in the actual INI file. The state of each setting is saved internally within the script. This means that when you uninstall the mod, the game will use all the settings you had before you installed the mod. Also, all of these settings take effect immediately and within the game; as soon as you close the menu the effects should be evident. Included Settings: - Depth of Field: On/Off - Radial Blur: Low, Medium, High - Max decals: 0-500 (not sure on actual maximum) - Quest Markers: On/Off - Compass: On/Off - Mouse Acceleration: On/Off (couldn\'t ever tell the difference, even doing it manually; need some feedback on this one) - Max Particles: 0-950 (not sure on actual maximum) I am by no means an expert on the INI settings. This is not intended to be a guide on the specifics of INI tweaking, it is merely a convenient place to change the settings. If you need clarification or specifics on certain settings, try another source. This mod isn\'t very polished, but I just wanted to get it out here and see if there is any interest in something like this. Let me know if you would enjoy this if it were a bit more polished/robust. =============== 2. REQUIREMENTS =============== SkyUI v3. 1 or later (Mod Configuration Menu required) SKSE v1. 6. 6 or later (Both SkyUI and this mod require SKSE) =============== 3. INSTALLATION =============== Automatic installation via Nexus Mod Manager: Download with manager, activate, and enjoy. Manual installation: Extract the archive to your \"Skyrim/Data\" director

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 17,920 endorsements and 386k downloads.
- Saves settings directly in your save game, so no manual INI editing needed.
- Tight integration with SkyUI's MCM—feels like a native part of the UI.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—likely outdated for current Skyrim versions and may conflict with newer mods.
- Only covers 7 specific INI settings, so it's limited in scope.
- Requires SkyUI as a dependency, which some players avoid.
For Skyrim players who use SkyUI and want a quick way to tweak a handful of INI settings without alt-tabbing. If you're a modder or tweaker who needs extensive INI control, this is too limited. Skip if you're on the latest Skyrim version or avoid old mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure SkyUI is installed first, as this mod won't work without it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage load order.
- Since it's from 2013, test in a clean save to avoid conflicts with newer mods.
