MCM Settings - Ultimate Skyrim 4.2.

0
These are the recommended MCM settings for Ultimate Skyrim. Proceed through the guide from top
to bottom, configuring your MCM’s as you go. You can also use the Outline on the left to jump to
specific mods.

It is important that all settings are adjusted as shown, for the intended Ultimate Skyrim experience.
However, highlighted settings are especially important, and will cause massive bugs if incorrect!

NOTE:

● Some MCM’s must be configured AFTER choosing a start and creating your character.
These MCM’s are marked accordingly, and their settings are found at the bottom of the guide.

● The “Del” key is used to unbind commands. If you see a keybind with “Del”, that command
is unused.

● Settings are only listed if they need changing from the default values.
If you don’t see a setting or an MCM menu listed, you can leave it as you found it.

GAMEPAD USERS:

● Version 4.0.7 discontinues official Gamepad support due to iEquip’s removal.

Gamepads are still functional, and utilize vanilla Gamepad controls.

● Keybindings for Gamepad will contain the word “Gamepad”.

For example: “X” refers to the keyboard, while “Gamepad X” refers to the Gamepad.

Wet and Cold

● Wet
○ Player
■ Rain Blind: Disabled
○ NPCs
■ Click both lines reading “No Leveled Lists” (They will change to read “Add to
Leveled Lists’ when configured correctly.)
● Cold
 ○ Player
■ Untick ‘Strong Winds’
○ NPCs
■ Cold Gear: All Races
■ Click all lines reading “No Leveled Lists” (They will change to read “Add to
Leveled Lists’ when configured correctly.)
● Ashes/Survival
○ Ash/Survival Gear Options
■ Untick ‘Backpacks’
○ NPCs
■ Click the two lines reading “No Leveled Lists” under Ash Gear (They will
change to read “Add to Leveled Lists’ when configured correctly.)
■ Do not click “No Leveled Lists” under Survival Gear. (We don’t want to add
these backpacks to leveled lists.)

IMPORTANT: At this point, you may want to save your game - creating what we refer to as a
“template save”. MCM settings do not carry between saves, and loading a “template save” for
new characters saves you the trouble of reconfiguring the MCM.

DO NOT CREATE YOUR TEMPLATE SAVE VIA THE CONSOLE. Pressing “Enter” will inadvertently
begin character creation.

Also consider that there is a drawback to “template saves”. Skyrim randomizes some elements
on new game start, such as radiant quest locations. If you utilize a “template save”, these elements
will remain static between characters. The choice is up to you.

Ultimate Skyrim
Note: This MCM is back at the top of the list. These settings determine your character’s start & other
important elements about your playthrough, so pay special attention!

● Main
○ Presets: Presets determine your character’s starting equipment & spells, and you
may choose whichever preset you like (or none).
○ Character
■ Customize these settings as you like.
○ Dragons and Shouts
■ Dragons: Leveled Delay
■ Dragon Souls: Dragonborn or Non-Dragonborn
● WARNING: This setting has a major impact on your playthrough.
Non-Dragonborn characters cannot play the main quest, or
absorb dragon souls.

If you start the game as Non-Dragonborn, you can become a

Dragonborn at any time by revisiting this MCM. However, you
cannot change back to a Non-Dragonborn once you’ve become
Dragonborn.

■ Non-Dragonborn Shouts: Enable or Disable

● Enabling this setting will automatically unlock dragon shouts from
word walls, without the need for dragon souls.
○ Delayed Dragons
 ■ Word Wall Level: 15
■ Random Spawn Level: 25
● It’s recommended to postpone Dragon spawns to Level 25,
especially if you’re new to Requiem. Dragons are some of the
toughest enemies in the game, so this option gives newcomers a
chance to acclimate to Requiem’s dangerous environment. More
experienced players should feel free to experiment with lower level
requirements.
● Equipment
○ Customize these settings as you like.
● Magic
○ Customize these settings as you like.
● Inventory
○ Customize these settings as you like.
● Starting Location
○ Customize these settings as you like.
● Special
○ Customize these settings as you like.

When you’ve finished configuring these settings, navigate to “Main” and click “Begin Your
Adventure - Let’s Go” to create your character & spawn into the world. Once you’ve spawned
& Requiem has successfully initialized, re-open the MCM to configure the mods we put off
earlier:
