Snapback · July 24, 2015

Hello LL

This is a easy guide for customizing your main menu background

Before we start, i did not the script for customizing your menu.All rights goes to hellstorm102 from nexus.

Step 1 : Download an editing program , you can choose which you want. I went for Paint.net cuz is easy http://www.getpaint.net/index.html

Hellstorm's one

Step 3 : Install all of folders ( meshes+textures+skse+mainmenuwallpapers) into data folder

Step 4 : go to ../common/skyrim/data/mainmenuwallapapers/a/data/textures/interface/objects and open the Mainmenuwallpaper.dds with Paint.net (If you can't open with paint.net then open paint.net and click layes->import from file and choose the mainmenuwallpeper pic in folder A

Step 5 : If you have downloaded my pack you will see a white box, there is where you should put your background for main menu
Pics must be 1920x1080 most likely.

Step 6 : Now do as done before , layers -> import from file and choose the one you want to set as background of mainmenu

Step 7 : You will need to cover all white of first pic with your second pic, you can simply stretch it by clicking the dots at the edge of the images

Step 8: Once done , click save as > make sure you are saving the new pic in the right directory (..data/mainmenuwallpapers/A/data/interfaces/objects) and make sure you overwrite the old one

Make sure you save the new pic as a .dds !

Step 9 : you are pretty done make sure you start your game with skse , if all went fine you should have your menu with your pic

like this

Extra Step : If you want to get rid of the background fog just download the mod of Cyndi

Troubleshooting:

I did all fine but it just shows me a purple screen , what i did wrong?

-Thanks to Buizerd : Open Skyrim.ini and change bInvalidateOlderFiles to 1
