I'm trying to figure out how to make fov changes permanent. I've tried:

1.In the SkyrimPrefs.ini file, add the following line to the [General] section at the bottom:
fDefaultFOV=XX

2.Then, open the skyrim.ini file, and add the following 2 lines to the [Display] section:
fDefaultWorldFOV=XX
fDefault1stPersonFOV=XX

Then I set FOV in the console in-game.

where XX is the FOV (I prefer 90).

But it still resets sometimes when I exit/restart the game. Does anyone know the correct ini changes to make FOV changes permanent? Thanks.

Make files Read only so that the game does not rollback them to defaults.

I don't know myself to be honest.. I am sure there is something on nexus

Generally, I use the console command

Setcamerafov XX

I do this when I start a new game. The game generally saves this setting for me through the normal save game process. I do occasionally find it reverted for some unknown reason, but 90% of the time I can just load up my game and go.

I used the method in this article. Never had a problem with it, as long as you don't adjust it in the console afterwards.

My FOV never changes, but I never set it in the console after setting it in the Skyrim.ini.

Thanks for the responses, I will give this a try.
