I make sure Automatic is turned off and once all Bash tags are added for teach mod, I go to each one and click Copy to Description. That saves the tags into the description field of the esps and makes sure that Bash loads those on startup. It also ensures if you have to rebuild the bashed patch later (eg adding new mods) the correct tags are already saved for the specific mods. I haven't had any issues, though I rarely get much loot (thanks to scarcity mod).

I'd suggest leaving MO's BSA Extractor on for every mod except the ones that have specific instructions to turn it off, like Arthmoor's mods.

I've gone ahead and skipped that mod in my list. Also, I did not clean Undeath.esp since the cleaning guide seems to be based on the assumption you have Classical Lichdom and it may even be required for cleaning. I can confirm so far, everything seems to be working. Had a little trouble with DYNDOLOD at first, but got it fixed. Also, if anyone seems to have missing textures for clothing, I reinstalled Clothing & Clutter Fixes and selected ONLY the textures/clothes folder, then merged it into CCF. For some reason, despite the guide instructions, Rustic Clothing did not have the clothing textures for several robes and bits of armor with fur. Perhaps I DL the wrong version of Rustic Clothing, but afterwards everything seemed fixed. Added some other mods on top of the guide, merged some extra UI mods into the HUD merged plug in, and it cooks along just fine!

I've followed the main STEP guide a few times but just got a slightly beefier graphics card so I'd figure I'd followed the SR:LE LotD guide. I made it to the world expansion section, and noticed that Undeath Classical Lichdom v6.80 is not available. Out of curiosity, is it okay to skip that step in the guide? Not sure if there is a patch later on that depends on that mod as a master. Or, alternatively, would someone be able to PM me with a link to a copy? Not sure if that's allowed or not, so if not, no worries. I'm just really excited for being able to play again!
