Thanks for the response. As unfortunate as it is, I guess there's no other choice. I took a look at Realistic Paper and either HQ Skyrim map V2 or MAPS, and neither have ESPs, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to use those instead. Better than vanilla in any case.
Old thread, I know. But I've spent the last several hours going through the STEP 2.10.0 guide (STEP:Extended for me) only to notice that HQ Paper has been removed from Nexus Mods. I'm not entirely sure how to proceed from here. Do I just skip this? Is there a download mirror? Do I use an alternative (Realistic Paper)? Any other ideas? Will this affect the STEP Patches later on? It would be a shame for me to have spent all this time trying to get STEP working only for one mod to kill the whole thing...
