Thanks for the quick replay. I did some more research on the Nemesis thing and found a suggestion to set the executable to Win7 Compatibility. (Right click on "Nemesis Unlimited Behavior Engine.exe", select Properties, go-to Compatibility tab, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for:", select Windows 7, click OK.) It worked for me without needing virus exceptions. Now, how brave do I feel to start deleting things from STEP patches in xEdit... May want to enjoy my nice shiny modern tested Skyrim a bit first.

Thank you so much for this guide! It was very clear and the attention to detail really shows. My main issue was NEMESIS refused to run unless I disabled Windows Defender completely. (Rather concerning...) The github site for Nemesis is now readonly which is even more concerning so I couldn't tell if the developer is aware or fixing this as a tool that requires disabling anti-virus software is NOT a good long term solution. Also, "Fixed Mesh Lighting" now has two new options as mentioned previously in this topic. Now I would like to add Legacy of the Dragonborn, but Book Covers Skyrim is included in that mod. If I disable the two Book Cover mods it breaks the STEP patches. Is there any way to get LotD to work?
