My point is that I CANNOT use the CR patch, it crashes on startup presumably due to missing masters which I am well aware are missing, but I am using SOME of the mods in the guide it requires. I am asking if its "safe" (obviously to certain leeway) to not use the CR patch even with most of the mods that "need" it in the STEP Guide configuration. I can see though that, somehow, if I can remove the masters for Cathedral Landscapes, TCIY, Amidian Reborn and Armor & Clothing Expansion - I could use the patch? Those are the ONLY mods I am not using from the guide. Need to learn how to do that. Never done that before. Read the link you sent, appreciate that. Still a bit confused but thats just from inexperience in trying.

Hello, wondering if it's fine to use some of the Conflict Resolution patch required mods in the guide, leave some off my mod list, and be fine playing the game with 95% of the STEP guide without the Conflict Resolution patch. For example, I do not want to use Cathedral Landscape, AMidian Reborn Content Addon, Armor and Clothing Extension, or The Choice is Yours - I am also not using any of the CACO, CCCR, WAACF mods. Would the guide be okay to use if every other conflict resolution "required" mod is used in my mod list? I have used the STEP guide multiple times and did everything including LOD, ENB, all that. Works great. I know how to finetune my mod list and have it been fine outside of the guide. This time however, I simply don't want to use those mods and wondered if excluding them but also not using the conflict resolution patch (it requires them, game crashes with patch obviously) would still lead to a safe, crash-free (to the degree Skyrim allows ofc lol) playthrough. Thanks in advance! If there is anything I can do in xEdit or something would be appreciated as well. Not too experienced in it besides quick cleaning plugins.

I have actually followed this guide previously with zero errors. I am not sure what occurred differently this time. I did the cleaning procedure for the ESM/L’s noted by LOOT as the STEP Guide recommends, and after moving them into the Cleaned Vanilla Masters mod, they no longer appear in the mod list themselves in MO, which didn’t happen last time. Right after this step, it says the mod list should include all of those as well. Someone please help me with this issue. Thanks.
