I've finished the FNIS installation... Now, I want to install "FNIS Sexy Move". I downloaded the file, installed and Activated... Now, obviously, I need to run FNIS to do the same process as I did for the "Fores New Idles Skyrim" (and selected the "X Skeleton" file). But when I'll finished (and the "Overwrite" will have files in it)... what am I doing? DRAGGING THEM to the existed "FNIS Output" mod I previously created... or I'll do the same process and CREATE A NEW mod called "FNIS Sexy moves 6.1"...????

I think I know (now) what it is... I installed the "Dual Sheath..." (as STEP suggested), but during the video (installation instructions), the lad had in his list that ALODSRP (and was saying to install after the "Dual Sheath"); that ALODSRP gives more options if you're using several 3rd party armor/weapons - which I DON'T (now), since I'm following STEP!... So, probably the ALODSRP didn't install anything, since I didn't CHECK anything in options setup! Now... I've downloaded, activated this "Better-Shaped Weapons"... but can't find it in LOOT or MO! I mean, many mods getting installed with different names (ELE, AOS, etc) so they are difficult to be identified. Where is this (mod)? I need to change it's loading order (and place it after "Dual Sheath...") and can't find the damn thing. I see it in my mods folder (its there alright), but I can't located in MO & LOOT... Any help, please?

Okay, after I installed Dual Sheath & then the ALODSRP... I have an error message on the left (next to ALODSRP) saying... "no valid game data"! Means... nothing there! So...???? What I suppose to do now???

In STEP guide-set up, in [2.N.Patches], I have this Dual Sheath patch... The instructions saying "go to Data and locate the SkyProc...", but there isn't such thing. I don't remember installing such patch - and obviously I can't find it.

I unchecked the "Climates" mod and the lighting is good again - obviously there is conflict with STEP other lighting mods. Also... I truly don't know what I did... but the Sneak mode crosshair appears!

I did some more extra testing (210 mods, some extra of my own): 1. Most of the exterior textures are fine, great. SOME of them, not so great (probably because I followed the instructions and used 1K to most of the textures). The shadows (ALL) are terribly blurry. 2. Interiors, walls and so, are very good; the rest is the same as Vanilla had (average quality to almost bad). 3. I installed Climates of Tamriel too, and the dark places are very bad (very dark), even if I chose "Vanilla". I'll probably remove this mod. 4. I started "Another life" in a sink ship; some passenger were on the ice (dead) but... flowing over the ice, "flying", not ON the ground (ice, snow). 5. Even if I installed the suggested "Dark Brotherhood" door extra (better) texture, I found the door (because the sink ship was there) and... the door still looks Vanilla. (Generally, I think there is something wrong with the graphics, even if they are installed properly and I don't have issues in MO & LOOT, they don't look SOO GREAT as they should.) 6. I've "lost" the Sneak mode crosshair; I "pressed" the iHUD in MCM and I changed the setting to have always the crosshair (even in Stealth) BUT NOT the horizontal line, the classic (stand-up) cross! 7. I'm trying to search boxes, barrels, and the text ("Search Barrel") is flicking. 8. There is quite much "tearing" with the 1st person camera, very annoying when I'm moving in forest, rich flora - I have always (locked) 60fps. 9. I want to tweak my character to JUMP HIGHER than Vanilla does.

(Obviously "Relighting Skyrim" & "Enhanced Lighting" are not working properly or at all, especially in interiors).

9) I haven't created yet the [2.N.Patches] yet - "Step Compilation", "Bashed Patch", etc... because first I found them quite difficult (I need time to read carefully the instructions), but mostly because I haven't yet finished the "set", I want to install MY PERSONAL flavor's mods (and STEP don't use)... And if I finished my favorite extra mods, create the "Step Compilation", "Bashed Patch", etc mods (which I think they are "finalizing" mods)... if I want to ADD A COUPLE MORE after... what's then? 10) Surely I want to make all characters of Skyrim (NPCs and no, male & female) to look more beautiful and sexy. Please, suggest me what to do.

Okay... I tested (the game). Seems fine, but I have some issues (don't know if some of the 200+ mods are running): 1) I installed the HUD and checked the settings in MCM (in the game), but when I'm going Stealth... the bow cross-mark is gone! I mean, I can't aim the damn thing, there isn't any target mark. 2) The First Person camera STEP settings are not so good. In the beginning (execution, Alduin), I step-up from the car and moved... and I could see... through my head and back neck! Obviously, the camera values for the First Person (STEP) make the camera to MOVE A BIT BACK (from the eyes position) and I can see... my head, through my head, etc. 3) Although I placed in the mods 1K-2K textures, especially the shadows are very blurry and "tearing". 4) Body textures (skin, faces) still are not well, looks like Vanilla's. 5) I installed these mods for "boosting" smoke, candles, etc., but I didn't see any smoke or so in so many "lighting sources" in the keep. 6) I hate how dark they do caves/dungeons/nights most of the "very advanced" mods set, but STEP still has the game with VERY bright dark areas. 7) I had 4-5 imperial boots and I tried to get rid a couple and when I pressed the drop button... all went to the ground, not one-by-one. And in some case (over 6), I didn't had the slider to pick the amount. 8) Generally, the environments (exterior) looking great, but the interiors in some cases are not similar great (they are BETTER than Vanilla, but not so great as the exterior scenes). Still, bodies, textures, skins, faces are terrible (even my character's). I thought they would (changed). ...These for now. Any help?

Okay... I'm now to [2.N. Patches] section... and now I'm totally lost! I'm watching videos, I'm reading guides... but these are all Greek to me! I "assume" I NEED these mods (in this section), to make the STEP run, right?!

Also... why in my MO right side, in Plugins tab, the "STEP Core Patch.esp" isn't selected/ticked?

Nah, Grand, I want to finish the installation, I'm finishing the Sound Section now (2.L)... Don't worry, Angel... Is been a while and I think I found it, I'm WAY FAR bellow now (into Sound section). Questions: 1) I'm installing STEP (and I want also to install the Extended Patch); I suppose I'll finish the "Regular" STEP installation and then I'll install the "Extended" mods, ok? 2) I made a pure fresh installation of Steam & Skyrim (both, Legendary & SE). I wanted to installed everything and start a new game (I haven't yet, I just entered to the main menu with the dragon shield). Should I start a game (to test the mods so far) or since I'm following the guide to finished them all? I'll place the "Another Life", so I'm thinking not start with the regular Vanilla start (car, execution, Alduin, etc). 3) I've seen that STEP suggesting mods without nudity (on models), which I don't like - I want to make Skyrim AS MUCH AS "real life" I can. Can you tell me what mods to install for: - Nice muscular & texture (nude) body for male (my character) - Nice (better) & texture (nude) bodies for all Skyrim females (NPC and not) - Female (sexy) motion (walking) animation for all females (to change in MCM) - Additional mods for nudity (not anything "erotic", I care not). I just want to make the males more handsome warriors and the ladies more beautiful - but also "real life" (not with... bikini!!!! In a "Medieval Fantasy" world, they didn't had... bikini) 4) I want to add that semi-cycle indicator (on the left top), that shows the sun & moon phases (and Skyrim time, of course). Also, I want to add bellow that THE REAL TIME (from my PC), to watching and understand that... is too late and I need to quite and sleep (lol) 5) Better merchants (not that STEP suggesting, too much complicated and "too much" in general). I simply want better prices & more gold to add (to them), that's all. 6) I know now that the best mod-Followers of Skyrim, are three: "Record", "Sofia"... and ONE MORE which I can't recall! I think is a lady too, but I can't recall! Do you know to tell me? 7) I want more than 1 followers. NOT TOO MANY, just 3 would be fine (with extra controls for them). Any mod suggestion? 8) Best non-official "DLCs"? Complete quests? (Obviously I don't need them NOW, just asking).

I'm very sorry for any "aggressive" tone I have when I'm typing... I'm just very stressed, to do all fine and make STEP run like charm.

Great, but I have OTHER TOO mods with Priority order (different, quite much more large number, more characters than three). So, if I place 127... to the other what to do? Thus, the guide NEEDS update. Also, for the Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM; the guide says "instructions for 2,03"... the mod is already 2,04! I'm using the STEP GUIDE 2.2.9.2. Everybody I've asked about the latest STEP guide (and after I search myself in Google), this 2.2.9.2 is the latest, I haven't found any newer...

So, you're saying, since STEP said to download that option file (and is old), now to download the new update and MERGE them together! Fine, got it. Okay... so I'll try NMM too, with Skyrim SE. I'm already did that (with SE, with NMM) and I was fine with the result.

Okay... so again... STEP guide is NOT up to date! Well... what am I suppose to enter here?? LOOT changed it to "-127 to +127"... and STEP guide is old and says "97000"... What now?

I'm getting this message, when I'm trying to add new priority to ELE Legendary Lite: Must be an integer between +/- 127 inclusive The STEP guide gives MUCH MORE value (970000)!!! What am I suppose to do?

Also... when (how many times) I'm pressing the LOOT to optimize the MO list? I'm doing it (now) after every mod I'm installing... Is this good (takes longer time, obviously)?

In STEP, for Skyrim Total Enhancement mod, they're saying to download one of the optional files; which I did. But, after I did, I discovered that is an old version (1.2) - and in mod's page there the new one (2.2.9.2). Fine... but since I CHOOSE one option file (the "Performance" one), how am I suppose to know which update to pick??? There isn't any choice in the new update, there isn't a "Performance" Option file update. And how am I upgrading? Simply pressing again (from Nexus) the "green button"? And if the mod has THE SAME name with the old version? What am I doing, then?

1) So, as other told me (more experience MO users), sometime (since I'm following correct the guide), is AUTHOR's fault that didn't changed his log, is not mine - and I can simply CHANGE myself in my MO list the current (wrong) version's number to the proper one. Got it, thxs! 2) Yes, I know... now! They told me so. That's wrong, from STEP guide. They ASSUME those they'll follow their guide they are EXPERIENCE users. Well, like me, I'm just start modding. So, wouldn't "hurt" nobody to simply add a text line and saying "DO NOT PRESS the first green button under mod's images, SCROLL DOWN and find the file we're telling about"! Is so simple; they're writing tones of (obviously) useful information but... why they missed this DETAIL? 3) Aye, they told me so too! They told me that ANY MOD SET can have many such "lighting bolts". (I thought, after I finished the guide, every data on MO list will be... clean-crystal, without anything but the mods' names. Also, I missed some things - for instance, I simply installed SKSE and DIDN'T follow EXACTLY the instruction to make the SKSE "as mod" in my MO list, as the video shows! Now I know... because as they told me to do so... I RE-STARTED the MO process from scratch (damn, I've installed quite many mods, I had to do it again)! So... you're telling me NOT TO INSTALL everything and THEN start (from the beginning) the game (with the car, the execution, Alduin appears, etc). You're telling me to START the game (and continue it from time to time) to CHECK that everything is proper?

I know this, I've tag this page... Look... I "discovered" Skyrim one month ago! Aye, I was... living in cave!!! Anyways, I knew about the game (since I'm fanatic Elder Scrolls gamer, I played all the previous ones) but I didn't give a try to this one. Now, before a month, I did... and lost my mind (and sleep)!!! The VANILLA game is FINE by me, I really enjoyed so much (over 380+ hrs now!); I just want to make it BETTER, that's all - not completely different (as many others trying to do; I've seen... Manga-style graphics, LoTR characters, etc. I don't want that. I want THE VANILLA experience... even better, since I own a good machine and I thought "what the hell, my machine can handle better textures, faces, more beautiful bodies, etc.) So, I'm fine with STEP, if I'll make it... running (hahaha). If I'll have the VANILLA original game MUCH improved, I'm very very happy man. Also, I don't need SOME of STEP mods. There are many mods of STEP that (for their flavor/desire, of STEP developers) doesn't make any (more) sense to me. Like I said, I want THAT game I've spend 380+... as it is...just quite better (because I can afford it).

Fellas, another question: Can I use MO with Skyrim AND NMM with Skyrim SE??? I mean, I'm following "STEP" guide to finish the mods installation via MO for Skyrim Legendary Edition... Can I use NMM this time, to install mods for Skyrim SE? I'm asking, because MO asked to link the mods with it... and obviously NMM will do the same for itself. Doesn't matter (since when I'll have NMM on, the MO will be closed)?

1) Great, thxs. 2) Great again. So, as a user "Ishara" told me, IN ANY mods list there are these "lighting bolts", right? (I do following STEP like a "Bible") 3) Okay, if there is wrong message, I can change the version to the one is suppose to be. But... lets say I'm not sure. So, I'm pressing the "Checking for updates" (for all), the MO finds 7-8 of them (in a new tab) and they are checked... and then, what? There isn't any button or something to press and begin the updating for these... ...Well, it's not like that. Most of the users are trying to put a mod and make Skyrim better, they are simple gamers, not mod-developers. I was one of the three co-founder of "Hegemonia: City-States" (Rome: Total War), one of the best (if not the best) mod of RTW. But I spend... 1 year (at least) to call myself "basic knowledge modder". All I want is to place 200+ mods in the right order and begin playing, I don't care to be "scientist" of mods... ...I was thinking the same, to start over again, you'll right. So, HOW am I testing these? Because they're not in data folder. Would I finish ALL of them and THEN run the game to check it?

So large community... still nobody to answer and give me help to solve my issues???

Also... when I'm choosing now the correct (suggested) only file that "STEP" says, in many cases I have older version (so, says "update"... which I don't know how to update). Why "STEP" guide isn't up to date? Why don't you updating/correcting the guide? Yes, the game (Skyrim) is old and probably most of people playing/modding Fallout. But what about us, the newbies?
