So let me predicate this with the fact that I know i probably did something wrong with this. I just am not exactly sure what I did. I've ran SSEDIT and it came up completely clean, so as far as i can tell, it was something involving setting up SKSE, though i am not entirely sure. This is my first time installing STEP, and the only other mods i have installed were specifically ones that were required by the mods themselves. For a moment, I had thought the issue might be Audio overhaul, but i attempted to turn that off and the mods requiring it, but that did not really solve anything. I would love some insight onto what i possibly could have done and am more than happy to talk over discord or in the forum to try and narrow this down. I've been wanting to play skyrim again and have a -bad- habit of overmodding, so using STEP was going to be my way to control myself. Thanks and I look forward to the help, if anything is possible. Complete reinstall is an option, but i would like to pinpoint what i did wrong so i can avoid it in the future if possible.
