BethINI Mod for Windows

A utility tool to optimize configuration files for Bethesda games

BethINI is a free utility tool that aims to optimize the configuration files for a range of Bethesda games, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 4, and other games from both of these series. The mod works automatically, and its goal is to improve performance and quality.

BethINI is available as a standalone program and as an independent AHK script. It works by reordering the game's configuration files to optimize performance. It also allows users to tweak files themselves, giving access to more configuration controls and file settings than the vanilla game.

Improved performance and quality

BethINI makes several changes to the game’s INI files, including reordering the configuration files to make them easier to navigate and fixes common errors, including some that cause the game to crash on desktop PCs. In addition, BethINI automatically detects mods installed on devices and makes any changes recommended by the mod's author.

Additional settings

The utility grants players access to a wider range of settings than what the standard launcher offers. It also provides users with explanations for all the settings. In addition, preset configurations are available that often deliver better performance and quality than the game's default settings.

A portable backup utility tool

BethINI can be run from anywhere and doesn't require an install. The utility also backs up all INI files, so you can always revert to original configurations as needed.

Antivirus and Mod Organizer Conflicts

The standalone version of this utility tool is sometimes falsely flagged as a malicious program by third-party antivirus software. If this happens, users can safelist BethINI through their antivirus app or run the script version instead. Unfortunately, this utility is not compatible with Mod Organizer.
