This is a common issue when editing your INI files doesn't work, you usually have a duplicated entry lower in the file (can happen if you manually make stupid copy-paste from other's people INI, or use some crappy 3rd party INI editor sofwares). Will result in iMinGrassSize being 40 for the game. Skyrim.ini can only be modified manually (or with a 3rd party tool).Īlso you should precisen that the custom INI file and mod-defined INIs can only override Skyrim.ini, not SkyrimPrefs.ini (this is already said implicitly, but for the sake of clarity ).Īlso, in case anyone is wondering, if two identical INI settings are located in the same file and under the right section, the latest one is the one used by the game: ini files allows you to alter settings that game already allows change to and some that they do not allow you to. It's also worth mentioning that the built-in editor from the launcher, and the in-game configuration menu, only edit values in SkyrimPrefs.ini. Open the following files on your computer in notepad or something similar: steamappscommonFallout New Vegasfalloutdefault.ini My DocumentsMy GamesFallout NVfalloutprefs.ini My DocumentsMy GamesFallout NVfallout.ini (fallout.ini may be read only, right click on the file and choose properties, uncheck read only and hit apply.

Adding to this, E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini is also used as template (with its data then overridden by the selected preset according to the right template) for SkyrimPrefs.ini, while Skyim_Default.ini, directly located in the installation folder, is the one used to generate Skyrim.ini
