Changes and updates in this version: Windows 10 1809+ or Windows 11 are now required due to the upgrade to Qt 6 and Python 3.11. For version 2.5.0, the installer will wipe any third party plugins as very few from 2.4.4 will be compatible with 2.5.0. If you've already installed a 2.5.0 beta build, I'd recommend simply overwriting the files using the archive download. For older MO2 versions, a clean install is highly recommended if you do not use the installer as leftover files from 2.4.4 can and will break parts of 2.5.0 in addition to leaving old, extraneous files in the MO2 directory. You can migrate old portable instances by copying the mods, downloads, profiles, overwrite directories and modorganizer.ini file to the new install. If you use any third party game plugins, it is highly recommended to wait for an update before loading those instances. Category Revamp The default categories and Nexus category mappings are no longer hard-coded. When you create a new instance or load an older instance, you will be prompted to import and map the Nexus categories. You should be able to preserve your old categories if you had custom categories configured or use the old default mappings. The updated category editor has a new interface to import the Nexus categories. These categories can be mapped to your custom Mod Organizer categories or imported. Importing the categories can replace or merge with your existing category setup. In addition, you can automatically reassign categories based on your Nexus mappings using the right-click context menu or through the modlist dropdown action menu. For users updating from older versions, we can only map the category if you still have downloads with Nexus metadata available. As you install or update new mods, the Nexus category ID will be saved to the mod info as well. Mods without a valid mapping should be left untouched. Finally, when you install a download from the download pane, missing mappings will trigger a prompt to update your Nexus mappings. You can also disable this feature entirely. This can be changed at any time from the Settings pane. Python Plugin Updates Python and Qt have both been updated to newer versions and Boost Python has been replaced with pybind11. These changes necessitate that most Python plugins be updated to be compatible with 2.5.0. On the other hand, you can now use Python 3.11.x features. Basic Games The basic games game support plugin system has had multiple updates to add and improve support for various game platforms, including EA Games, EPIC Games, and more. There are new utilities you can use to build more robust game plugin support with Python. Game Support Starfield Starfield has full support with some general caveats. This includes save parsing, archive extraction and packing, plugin management, automatic archive invalidation, INI-enabled plugin and archive detection. This support virtualizes both the My Games Data directory and the game Data directory. This provides maximum mod support with minimal work needed by the end user. MO2 will create the Data directory in My Games, but due to the nature of the virtual filesystem, no files will actually we written to or read from this directory. This also allows SFSE plugins to be correctly loaded from the game Data directory. Caveats Plugin management is only possible by using the Plugins.txt Enabler mod. This can be loaded either with SFSE or an ASI loader. If you use the ASI loader you may want to disable this check. You must also remove any sTestFile entries from your game INI files. BSA Packer currently does not support the newer Starfield archive formats and will pack files in the Fallout 4 BA2 format. This appears to work just fine and we will update to use the Starfield archive formats as soon as we can. The BSA extractor has some trouble with archives containing numerous directories. Most archives are fine but you may experience extreme load times with the meshes / geometries base game archives due to them containing hundreds of thousands of individual directories. Due to the nature of the game engine, only ESM files have relatively decent support and using another plugin type will generate warnings to describe the issues with using those plugins. All Starfield diagnostic warnings can be disabled. LOOT sorting is currently disabled by default as the LOOT team has decided that the issues with the engine make sorting too problematic. You can enable sorting in the Starfield settings. This could be useful if a future libloot / LOOT update allows sorting and can be hotfixed in MO2. Bethesda Skyrim SE GOG / EPIC Games support 'Platform' and 'grass' added to valid mod directories Update Creation Kit Steam ID Skyrim LE Fix for save location parsing using local Windows codepage settings Do not create loadorder.txt in profile Skyrim VR Remove light plugin support flag Do not create loadorder.txt in profile Fallout 4 Update Creation Kit Steam ID Do not create loadorder.txt in profile 'NetScriptFramework' added to valid mod directories, 'cdx' and 'csg' to valid file extensions Fallout 4 VR Remove light plugin support flag Fallout NV / TTW EPIC Games / GOG Support Updated mod directories Extended INI parsing Oblivion / Morrowind Do not create loadorder.txt in profile Enderal / SE GOG support LOOT sorting support Nehrim LOOT sorting support Cyberpunk 2077 Fairly robust Cyperpunk support has been added by ZashIn. This can be somewhat complex to set up and it is highly recommended to read the wiki. Other Games Thanks to all contributors! New Control Yu-Gi-Oh!

MO2 updated to 2.5.0 Changelog: https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer/releases

As z929669 say above. I have tried so many ENB presets over the years, especially during the time before STEP added the one there is for the guide today. I always find that i have to tweak them a bit. And still, i always find some conditions where i am not happy with the result. The one included in STEP is a very good neutral start and the perfect preset to work from with the guides weather and lighting. Making the game look perfect for your personal taste can be a bit tricky. A preset might not even look the same on different screens, so when you look at pictures or videos on Nexus for differnt presets they are probably not what you will get on your screen.

Mod updateed on nexus. Version 2.9.1 Fixed floating campfire outside Whiter River Watch. Campfire brightness is now consistent when using Inferno with SMB92 tweaks.

Small update for mod on Nexus, ver 1.5. Better Dead Animals ring Minor fixes

Mod updated on Nexus. Version 3.9.0.7 /Release: 19/11/2023 Added a configurable MCM counter for the blades radiant quests. Added error handling and checks for 'Yes I'm Sure' - that mods feature for disabling the disenchanting confirmation message is completely incompatible with Completionist and will result in a CTD when attempting to disenchant items. To combat this, Completionist will automatically disable real time tracking for enchantments while that particular 'Yes I'm Sure' setting is enabled, The setting can be easily disabled by turning it off in the 'Yes I'm Sure' .toml file. Fixed completion log duplicating book read events. Tracked locations now have their cleared status displayed in the MCM. Removed tracking for the 'Fortify Lockpicking' enchantment when Thaumaturgy is installed Quest completion is now monitored in real-time (event based so no overhead) and quests will now also appear in the completion log. Quest pages now load and refresh considerably quicker due to an overhaul of the MCM API. Completion Log Dates will now be retrieved in order. (This was an oversight when choosing std::unordered_map as the serialized container) Created a new INI wrapper and patched quest framework which adds support for custom quest tracking through ini files. Documentation can be found within the dev kit in the FOMOD. Created a new polymorphed data structure designed to log and serialize how many times quests have been completed, this will replace the existing method of using Global Variables created in the CK Fixed notification spam from discovered patch locations when opening the map menu Civil War quest tracking is now performed solely in the DLL. The old system used 50 - 50 DLL and Papyrus due to a non reverse engineered member function in <BGS::LocAlias> I now have a workaround for this and as such the quest tracking for the Civil War performs as reliably as the rest of the mod. Fixed a localisation error when fetching the weapon enchantments page name in search results.

Installed ENB Dynamic Cubemaps. Made eyes look to shiny. So i installed also Subtle eye cubemap and it fixed it. So i am now testing with these three mods. Installed in STEP 21 - Post Processing section.

Discussion topic: Capture Warmer (Dynamic Cubemaps) by doodlum Wiki Link SKSE plugin which upon entering cells, captures reflection data used for ENB Dynamic Cubemaps and future projects, to significantly improve reflection quality. This mod seem to make reflecting stuff actually reflect stuff. Best pictures is the ones with bread on the mod web page. (It needs ENB (or Community Shader) so only interesting for those using that part of STEP Guide)

My toughts to. I belive the resent move of both Skyrim and all mods/tools over to a brand new fast SSD is what had stuttering go away for me.

Have this mod installed since a few days after it was released. I am not sure it does anything for me since i have 32GB RRAM and a new large SSD. But the game runs smooth like butter with almost 500 active mods.

If i am correct the incompability is that we dont get CoMAPs icons in Compas Navigation Overhaul (we get vanilla icons in the compass)?

Installed it (forgot to extract the BSA for UIExtensions first so i had a CTD). Looks very nice. Will take some time to get used to QuickLoot and the Compass.

Not compatible with CoMAP 4.0 as i understand?

SSEEdit 4.1.5 released on Nexus today. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/164?tab=files Changelog: https://github.com/TES5Edit/TES5Edit/releases

Had not seen this. On the mods forum i found the "vanilla" patch is rather a fix. Also i think they have to do with vampire and wherewolf-form. "the vanilla patch fixes the animations so your hands are bound in front of you when you look down rather then at your sides"

Discussion topic: Improved Camera SE by TwistedModding Wiki Link Improved Camera is an SKSE plugin that enables the 1st person body and allows for typically forced 3rd person animations also to be played in 1st person. Playing mostly in 1st person i love to be able to see my feet. This mod together with CFPAO makes playing 1st person so much better. Only played for a few hours with them so far,so there might be bugs i have not yet discovered.

You have the wrong DynDOLOD.dll installed for your game version. (And you are posting in the wrong section of this forum)

Works just fine so far for me.

Did a fresh install of the guide just a few days ago. It is up to date.
