Tutorial: Making screenshots

  • Software; you always need software in order to make screenshot. Recommended tools are:
  1. Steam Tool
  2. FRAPS (I use this one personally)
  • Resolution: Try to set your setting at the highest Resolution 1920x1080px on Ultra settings.
  • ENB: The most important thing in screenshots is the quality. Use ENB's to tune everything up and make it pritty. Also use mods that make the game look better like lightning and texture replacers. When you use an ENB be carefull with reading installing notes. Realvision ENB requires you to disable Antialiasing and Anisotrpic Filtering. Recommended ENB's:
  1. RealVision (I use this one personally)
  2. Sharpshooter
  • Pose: Use poses to make your screenshots look better. Recommended Pose mods are:
  1. Pinup Poser
  2. Fore New Idles in Skyrim (FNIS)
  • environment: Don't take screenshots at random places. Have a nice background with good lightning. Recommended mods:
  1. Skyrim Academy
  2. Underground Bathhouse and Paradise Valley 
  • Commands: There are a few usefull commands you can use while screenshotting:
  1. tm (Toggle Menu) will hide all the HUD components, including menus, compass, crosshair and even the console menu (but it is still here so you will have to use it blindly after entering this command). Use tm again to show the HUD again.
  2. tfc (Toggle Free Camera) will let you move the camera anywhere. Use your usual movement keys to move, and your left/right mouse buttons to move upward and downward. Your character will disappear if you are in first person view mode (hostiles will still attack at your initial position), but will stay if you are in third person view mode. Type tfc again to disable it.
  3. tfc 1 Adding a '1' will also pause the game, and thus let you frame your picture peacefully. Type tfc again to disable it.
  4. sucsm <value> (Set UFO Camera Speed Multiplier) will change the free camera speed. The value 50 will make it move 5 times faster than initially.
  5. fov <angle> (Field of View) will change the the Field of View angle value (in degrees). Increasing the value will zoom out, decreasing it will zoom in. The default angle is 65 (which can be tweaked permanently -a lot of people like it higher when playing).
  6. csb (Clear Screen Blood) will remove the blood on-screen effect. Useful for combat screenshots.
  7. set gamehour to <hour> changes the time, with <hour> between 0 and 23 (e.g. "set gamehour to 15" sets the time to 3:00 PM). A superior value than 24 will also advance the day, but negative values crash the game. Nice if you want to change the lighting of the scene.
  8. fw <formid> (Force Weather) temporarily changes the weather. Check here for the list of formid.
  9. tgm (Toggle God Mode)
    It's useful if you hided the interface and you can't see your life going low. Or if you're at a low framerate during a battle, dying is frustrating. This will make you infinite HP, infinite MP, infinite endurance.
  10. Animcam Toggles a 3rd person camera mode that lets you rotate and zoom the camera around the player without changing the direction the player model is facing.
    See this page for more details about the console or more commands.
