📋 About This Mod

This is a port of my VR FPS Stabilizer mod to SSE. If you are looking for the VR version go HERE.

DESCRIPTION

This mod is an SKSE plugin that keeps your fps at target level by changing the ini settings between predefined 10 Levels from your config values. It prevents crazy fps changes during game which was only caused by looking at some direction. It is especially useful for people that use Ultra Trees with DynDOLOD.

It also has a console command feature which runs a console command automatically when the game is opened or a save is loaded.

Note that this is an advanced mod which requires knowledge in game ini settings. I suggest reading some guides first if you need info about ini settings.

It doesn't save ini changes to file at runtime but the game can modify them automatically. So I suggest setting your ini files in "My Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition" to read-only if you don't want those settings to be changed.

REQUIREMENTS

  • SKSE64

    INSTALLATION

    Install with your favorite Mod Manager or Manually.

    This mod includes an skse plugin dll and a config file only which goes to "Data\Skse\Plugins".

    Set your TargetFPS in the ini file. If you only wish to use the console command feature, set FPSStabilizerEnabled to 0.

    Load order doesn't matter. It can be installed and removed anytime during a save game.

    CONFIGURATION

    This mod comes with an ini file: SSEFpsStabilizer.ini

    It has many parameters. So let's go over them:

    EnableLog parameter is used to enable or disable logging. Level changes will be printed in the log. The log file is located here:"My Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\SSEFpsStabilizerPlugin.log". I suggest a program like mTail to view your log in game. But don't leave this parameter 1 for normal playing because it may cause performance drops.

    FPSStabilizerEnabled parameter enables/disables Fps Stabilizer part of mod. If you only wish to use the console command feature, you can set this to 0.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Set your target FPS in the INI file to match your monitor's refresh rate (e.g., 60 for standard, 144 for high refresh) for best results.
  • If you use other performance mods, test them together to ensure they don't override each other's INI changes.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the mod, making it easy to uninstall if needed.
