SkyrimPrefs.ini this is my Ultimate Ini setup its okay but for weaker systems with only 4 ram it may still be to much.

I've tried these various "performance mods" before. They didn't really help. I turned on the "auto-BSA extractor" in Mod Organizer, ran Ordenator and compress the textures, and deleted a bunch of large-scale mods like Skyrim creatures, weapons, and armor. I deleted all the resource-extensive and rogue mods. Alot of the large companion mods are just eating up precious processing power. Once you've completed their quest, there's really no point in holding onto them unless you really like the character. All you really need is a couple of voice standalone companions to break up the monotony and healer. I have the base STEP suggested mods installed with Bruma, Falskaar, and Wyrmstooth. I installed a bunch of smaller-scale mods to add randomization and variety (weapons, clothing, NPCs, etc) to my game. I didn't even reinstall ENB boost and my game runs without sputtering on my 4Gb laptop. ENB boost never actually helped my game that I noticed. If my system starts to get bogged down it's usually caused by Bruma (due to its size).
Not to discourage you from all your hard work but if a player can't run the game with 2K textures as their baseline (especially after running it through an optimzer) then they should look into deleting mods off their systems or replacing them smaller substitutes. I'd gladly point out some of the ones I've found. If they have to resort to these type of performance mods then perhaps they should think about down-scaling textures to 1K instead. If you have all or most of these mods rolled up into one esp I'd be more than happy to test it however I've never seen these promised improvements several authors have made.
why do u think i downscale to 128 by 128 instead iwth 512 by 512. I'm sorry they don't work for you. They work fine for me. i don't use enbboost. on my 4 gb netbook. best to use icbine sweetfx.with sweetfx i can play a steady 30 fps. but playing skyrim offline does help yes.
Nice performance guide and great set of mods. I will definitely try a few of these out. Thanks for uploading this and taking the time to put it all together. Endorsed

Might I suggest “no more glowing edges” and “remove interior fog” as well as “remove exterior fog”
