SSE optimization tools

An automated tool for optimizing BSA, meshes, textures and animations. It also allows for quick porting of Oldrim mods.

SSE Asset Optimization Tool

SSE Assets Optimiser is a tool designed to automate asset optimization for Skyrim Special Edition. It is an open source project.

How does it help you?

Grid:

It uses Nifscan to detect hard collapsed meshes and only optimizes them.

This approach may have disadvantages. I will create a tweaked Nif Optimizer in a future update.

Texture:

It uses Texconv ​​to automatically convert uncompressed normal maps to BC7 and TGA to DDS.

It also uses Nifscan to convert incompatible DDS.

Animation:

It uses Bethesda's Havok tool to port Oldrim animations.

BSA：

It uses BSArch to extract the old BSA and create a new BSA.

Require

Zilav's Nifscan

BSArch by Zilav

Bethesda Creation Kit, found in the Bethesda Launcher.

Install

Unzip the archive into a new folder. Delete the requirements in the resources folder.
