To answer your question, for as long as you moderate an internet forum... Provide your system spec (including CPU model and speed, amount of system RAM, graphic card model and the amount of VRAM on the card) i7 1st gen 3.4ghz 8gb RAM Radeon 7850 2gb vRAM Game is installed on a 256gb SSD in Steam dir on C: and yes UAC is off. Tell us what mod manager do you use (Mod Organizer, Wrye Bash, Nexus Mod Manager, Billy's magic mod manager?) NMM & Wrye Provide you load order from BOSS, including Active and Inactive plugins Which STEP build do you use (Performance, Baseline, Extreme) Mostly baseline with some elements extreme. Did you follow STEP instructions to the letter? I installed pretty much every 'Core mod' in the order on the web site up until about one third of the way through 2G here: https://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.7. I then stopped installing everything and spot picked a few more mods from the STEP list. Tell us if you use any mods that are not part of STEP Yes, many, as listed in my LO above. I appreciate this doesn't help you guys much. Tell us if you applied any INI tweaks that are not part of STEP process Not that I recall Give us as much details about the issue as possible The Alik'r Warriors (including Kematu) in the mission "In My Time Of Need" are all missing weapons. They're only armed with their fists. If memory serves they normally have Scimitars? Obviously I appreciate that with a mod set up as varied as, well, any mod set up ever put together you're going to have a tough time figuring out the issue. As with any mod related query I was hoping that someone may have experienced the same issue. I'd be grateful for anyone's thoughts though. Thanks
