Where Does BethINI Store Presets and Backups?
BethINI keeps presets and game INI backups in its own folder plus the game's Documents directory.
Last updated
BethINI manages Bethesda game INI files from its own folder while the live INIs stay in each game's Documents directory. Applying a preset backs up the originals first.
That backup habit is the whole safety story. Tweak freely, since the pre-tweak files wait in the same folder with backup names. Keep BethINI itself with your modding tools so presets and backups travel together to the next install.
Where BethINI stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\[Game] (INI backups)
Preset backups beside the live game INIs in Documents. Restore these to undo any preset; BethINI backs up before every application.
Frequently asked questions
A BethINI preset broke my graphics. How do I undo it?
Restore the INI backup BethINI made in the game Documents folder. Every preset application backs up first, so the pre-tweak files sit beside the live ones.
