stoppingby4now Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Moved this as it is just too important to be buried under a misleading thread ;)Following some links from the wiki page and I stumbled across the following in regards to overriding (may already be known, but new to me):User DefinedChanges to automatically created INI files are reverted by Steam whenvalidating the local game cache. User defined INI files can be used toprevent this. Settings defined in a user defined INI file overridesettings in a regular INI file.Used by the game My Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimCustom.ini overrides Skyrim.iniUsed by the editor steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\SkyrimEditorCustom.ini overrides SkyrimEditor.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frihyland Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I knew that one, additionally each mod can have its own ini associated with it, so if the mymod.esp is active than the mymod.ini overrides the skyrim.ini A bit strange that not one mod I have seen uses this. I wonder how the ini conflict resolution process works, knowing bethesda its alphabetical by ini name :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumaan Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Think we have to be happy that mods don't have(use) custom ini file's, I just thinking what a mess it'll be and sure more conflict ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
