Interesting to see a different way to allow 60fps via the in game mod system for Skyrim

Skyrim Mod Allows Xbox Series versions to run at 60fps
- Thread starter Gowans
- Start date
Every time I try to play Skyrim I spend ages looking up mods then never get round to playing it because I can't workout how to do a good setup.
There are guides with lots of mods in order but I can't find the correct mods when I use the ridiculous search. I really wish there was an easier way.

Bethesda's engine breaks at framerates above 60. It's pretty funny tho, someome should post Skyrim with the framerate uncapped.
Just as a note, be careful when using these mods. I did some local mod changes of my own to make the game run at 144 fps on PC, somehow managed to corrupt the physics stack long-term, and things really started breaking going into the 100+ hours of my save file.
People flying around, assets spawning at weird places, dragons going bonkers... the big city battles got really broken, haha.
Couldn't find a solution to debug and see what is wrong with my save files, so eventually abandoned the game after putting 150 hours into it, without finishing it. :(

It may well not have hit 60 reliably.
Doesn't Fallout 4 offer mods too? I know that's meant to get an update on the emulation side, but presumably something like this would be workable as well in the mean time.
Exceeding 60 FPS breaks the physics. It's not even an option on the PC version without mods.
Fallout 4 does have a mod for this. I don't think these mods are new, they just work better now that there's actually more powerful hardware.
Edit #2: Apparently there is a way to keep achievements with this mod! As provided by the lovely people in the comments of this post, please see instructions below on how to achieve this (haha get it? Achieve...)
- Start the game and go to mods
- Download and enable the mod
- Restart the game and open mod menu again
- Disable the 60 fps mod and restart the game
- Play the game with 60 fps!
I will wait until this hits gamepass, since I bought the enhanced edition on my PS4 Pro like a clown back in the day. ITs a game that I am determined to actually beat in my lifetime, and I think it will make things more enjoyable playing it at 60fps Just like I did with the Witcher 3 on xbox one x
How exactly does Skyrim VR work anyway since it has to run at greater than 60FPS? Do they just roll with it and the broken physics is just part of the package?
...I should probably get around to playing it, I bought it during a Steam Sale like a year ago.
EDIT: Apparently with a .INI tweak you can have the physics calculate properly at 90FPS, but then you start to get the reverse issue of physics problems at low framerates instead of high.

This is something I don't understand. How easily can this be done? Can a developer just flip a switch and uncap their games? Because I'm severely disappointed by how many bc games I've tested myself and the frame rate is still shite (locked 30fps 🙄)
well Skyrim (and also the older games using a version of this engine) seem to be kind of broken over 60FPS, at 60FPS is should be safe?
the description class this mod as a "ini tweak", I think this should be OK, the game should behave like on PC at 60FPS?
The caveat is mods disable achievements so this is a no-go if you care about that.
But it also means Bethesda could probably do it themselves if they bothered.

Yeah, even at 75fps I couldn't get through the intro because the horses, wagon, or both would get stuck on the way. By the time it arrived, the doors would already be closed and the horse would just be stuck smashing it's head against them.
That's rad. But I hope MS will try to achieve that themselves. I'm already looking foreward to play Skyrim yet again
Swear on me mum, if the new games coming have this issue....
I'll cry about it one the internet.
60 FPS mods are fine anything above 60 will break physics in Skyrim.
Ok, clearly I'm an idiot as I can't get this working. Should I restart the game right after enabling / disabling the mod? I get 60fps if I enable but obviously not when I disable.
edit - I got it working by not restarting the game after step 4.

This is cool but official support that doesn't break achievements would be lovely.
One thing that's disappointing on both next-gen consoles is that the vast majority of BC titles are locked to 30 fps so they often end up performing exactly like you remember them from PS4/X1. Since we know most pubs are not going to make new patches to unlock these caps it would be nice if there was some way for the platform holders to force/hack around that.

Literally one of the easiest things they could do.
I don't think the reason many games aren't uncapped is because of the difficulty of removing said cap.
I have no idea I saw that comment and figured I'd post it because they made it seem like it worked.
I would really love if Bethesda patched both Skyrim and Fallout 4/76. This sounds great and I tried the Fallout 4 Series X 60fps mod, but I'd like the achievements still activated.
Afaik you don't need to mod Fallout 4 on Series X to get 60fps. It does it automagically
All versions including PlayStation allow mods. The amount available for consoles is drastically less than pc. Also the special edition version has less than the og version on pc. Something with modders having to do updates for it to work on the SE version.
That hasn't been my experience. I know Xbox showed that video with the Series S running it at 60fps, but they haven't made that available for consumers yet.
Frame rate doubling has not been released yet. It's still under development.
