Skyrim is an old game, but still fun to play. I occasionally use it to blow off steam, and have had plenty of experience modding it. The following is an update to an earlier post that was written for DynDOLOD 1.49, which, as someone has pointed out, is ancient and the instructions no longer apply.

This is a cross-post from 4chan for posterity. I regularly get 55FPS (capped) using the following procedure, which is a mash of STEP instructions, DynDOLOD install procedures, and personal experience.

I recently made a Skyrim mod to fix an annoying bug with Serana, one of the Dawnguard DLC’s characters. She’s a rather complex entity, using her own AI to help quests in Dawnguard manipulate her follower status and “lock” her to the player when needed. Unfortunately, this AI also clashes with mods like Extensible Follower Framework, which enable you to have more than one follower at a time. – MORE
