Ah, thanks Aiyen. I'll put it down, doesn't change much really.

I just copied the text from modlist.txt in the BOSS/Skyrim folder, I can't figure out any other way to give the load order with Mod Organizer. The magnus and the archmagering only have one of choices selected for them, I don't have them all on. ADS is Smooth blade draw and Sheathe.

I tried Google first, but I didn't get the answers I was looking for. Rayya (The housecarl from Falkreath.) has the option to become a steward even though she didn't come up to ask me if she could. Erik doesn't walk up to me at Lakeview Manor and ask nor does he get the option where I ask. I'm looking to make him ask me/start the steward choice, which I couldn't find. The closest one to it was from the wiki which said that sometimes the option to make Erik a steward never comes up, which isn't encouraging. But I know he can, because in other character saves he does ask to be steward. I'm just trying to remember if there was something I did to start that or not.

Mod Organizer for manager, and mostly followed STEP to the letter.

More specifically, Erik the Slayer. I go to Lakeview Manor and Erik doesn't approach me to ask about being the steward for the house. I know he can be steward, in different savegames he's given the option (Although for some reason I had to pay him each time I wanted him to follower me after he became steward...) but not this one. Does anyone know how to induce the dialog in him?

Ah, thank you, reinstalling ICH solved that.

I'm curious if the Ebony variant causes issues with Improved Closedfaced Helmets. I first noticed the problem with the ebony helmet when the Ebony Warrior came up to me with no head. Just to make sure I tried the other ebony helmets on my character and, yep, missing head. Anyone know of a fix for this? I will admit though, I was slightly intimidated when the Ebony Warrior came up to me with no head and said "The time has come.". Props for drama.

I feel like an idiot, I didn't realize that you could drag them to change the priority. I got it to work now, thanks guys.

So what basically happened is that I did STEP and later on found out that I forgot to check the optimized DLC's. So I turned them on and now they're overwriting everything they can get their hands on. And I can't seem stop it, for example Virtus Imperii is basically rendered moot because the HRDLC1 overwrites it. The optimized Dawnguard for another example is overwriting SIMM's Soul Cairn bones piles. I tried reinstalling Virtus Imperii with the hope that it would work but the HRDLC1 would not let it period. The only way I could stop it was if I unchecked the HRDLC's that caused the problems, then Virtus Imperii and others worked. Unchecking the others also has the same thing. So I guess what I want to ask is if there's a way that I can make the OptDLC's work or barring that if Skyrim would be fine without the them. I still have the other textures from STEP, I just don't want there to be an issue if the OptDLC's aren't there.

I wasn't aware that any magic overhauls did this, I never used Empowered Magic or SkyRe. I think I checked out SPERG once, but it's been a long time. Yeah, I acknowledge that by itself with the vanilla magic it's not much; vanilla magic always felt like it got the short end of the stick. It's why I used Better Magic, Magic Scaling, and (Currently) Mighty Magic's Scaling .esp. If you don't use any magic overhauls that include this then this is an option.

https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/users/451389/? One thing that I was slightly disappointed with is that you couldn't be a sneaky spell caster. Sure, you could hit someone with a fireball and then go invisible. But you never got a sneak attack multiplier from it, unlike everything else from sneak attacks. Now if you're sneaking and you get someone with a spell you get a 1.5x multiplier from it. You can get it up to 3x from the Dark Brotherhood Shrouded Gloves enchantment, the author modified them so they add spells. You can also buy some from Babette.

No, I've been using it for about a day so far and I still get the menu crashes. Everything else is fine though, the only problems I've had so far are the crashes when I'm using the menu for what-have-you. Hmm, no scratch that. No more infinite loading screens but I've crashed twice after playing when I got back from work. The first one was pretty much right at the start of the game, I exited out of Wolfskull Cave and literally took a single step and crashed. The 2nd one was just now, I was checking the map and I pressed E and I crashed. Odd. Crashed again, this time by opening the map and selecting Embershard Mine. And my first infinite load screen even after having Safety Load. Entered Embershard Mine, killed bandits, exited out, and infinite load screen. Waited about 5 minutes just to make sure, then ctrl+alt+del, and did End Process via Task Manager.

Off the top of your head, what do you think conflicts? I admit that I deviated from STEP, but not far so I'm not entirely sure what might've hit it. Anything to save me some time doing the 'New, slowly add mods' troubleshooting. Actually, I've tried out the Safety Load. It's working great so far, no more infinite loading screens.

Right, sorry. Still getting a bit used to Mod Organizer, can't find anything that lets me export my modlist, unlike NMM. As for texture overhauls I followed the STEP guide. And my driver version is 331.65.

Not the start menu, but the menu you bring up in Skyrim. Opening it isn't the issue, going through it is and I have no idea when it'll happen. It's basically a problem that came up in my old topic here starting at post 18, except not so much freezing anymore just crashing: https://forum.step-project.com/showthread.php?tid=3803&page=2 This time though I don't nearly have so much added, mostly on the account that I've basically started a new game and following the STEP guide...with a few add-ons and a few things that I didn't like. But mostly true to the guide, honestly. CPU: Intel i5 3570k 3.4 Ghz RAM: 8 GB Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 660 Ti OS: Win7 Pro 64bit BOSSlog.html

I'm pretty damn certain that it was Helgen Reborn. I forgot that I had it active right at the start of the game, that causes problems apparently. Unchecked it, Ralof worked fine, waited until I was out of the cave, rechecked it, and it's good to go.

Alright, I'll try that out first. Thanks guys.

Right after Alduin sends down his fireballs Ralof tell you to come over to the tower. For me, that's all he does and he never shuts up. I get right in front of him when he's shouting to here to "Over here!" and he doesn't move. Or he does move so I can go in, closes the door when I come in, then goes back and opens it and stands in the door frame, shouting the entire time for me to follow him. I've tried disabling and enabling him, killing him via console, and clicking on him and using moveto player, but he never stops shouting and moving to the door frame. Does anyone have an idea on what the Hell is wrong with him?

How long does it take for the patch to do it's thing? Because I've tried installing it 3 times and each time I play Skyrim a menu comes up and tells me somethings wrong. I click on the .jar file, hit the patch button, and the big menu closes and a smaller one comes up saying "Please wait..." and it's at 100% and says "Done Importing." at the bottom. And it stays like that. I've waited up to half an hour and nothing. Am I doing something wrong or ?

In the opinion of the STEP community, what would you guys recommend for a magic overhaul? Balanced Magic look good, and Better Magic is apparently compatible with others. Don't like the Necromage/Vampire PC "fix" that Better magic does though... Any others any of you'd put on the table?

Alright, so I've done a clean install of Skyrim and followed the mod list here: https://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:Guide#2.A._Configuration by downloading them through Mod Organizer. How can I use Wrye Bash to make a Bashed patch out of them if nothing besides the Official DLC and Bashed patch show up? Can I somehow connect Wrye Bash to Mod Organizer or ? Using BOSS only shows them up as well, not the mods that I've installed through Mod Manager.

Alright, that makes sense. I did have a bunch of craftable armors, so I can see why it would in the very least slow it down. Don't know why it would freeze up the regular shopping/character menu's though. I wouldn't have so many in the first place if they weren't so damn good though. People gotta stop making them so well. Alright, so Skyrim is all clean now. Going to do STEP 2.2.7, anything else you guys recommend? Does anyone know if the Skyrim Nexus is going through a upgrade or is just under heavy traffic again? Because holy Hell is it being slow.

Hrmm, that makes sense. Tried Immersive Armors and Weapons though once, uninstalled it soon after, always felt...gaudy(?) to me. But things like that and mods that add options in the smelting and tanning menu cause hiccups correct?

I did have a crap-ton of mods, 191 of them. But for the menu freezing, the only thing I can think of that involved the menu was SkyUI. Anyway, I uninstalled about half of my mods before going to bed so I might as well go all the way and do a clean Skyrim and new game. Any recommendations besides the 2.2.7 STEP guide?

Yeah, I'm going to agree with you on that phazer11. I have a day off tomor...today so I have a whole day to clean Skyrim up and do the STEP process. For STEP, should I just follow the guide from here: https://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:Guide#2.A._Configuration or does anyone else have recommendations?
