It's no problem at all! I didn't really detect any hostility - I know all the STEP guys are good people. 🙏 The old version is going to be left up for this reason, so please recommend what version best for your guide. I just can't promise any of the lighting patches are good. The latest version has an installer, the USSEP overwrites have been moved to their own plugin (though I need to reupload it because I forgot the BASH Tag), and I will be improving the wording in the sticky post and description to help people decide what's best for them. Thanks for all you guys do as well. Sorry again for the confusion...!

Sorry for the double post. 🙏 I DO remember the No Water LOD flag. This update has been in the making for a minute, so I had to remind myself and I feel so bad for not documenting it. The No Water LOD flag was supposed to signal that it was an intentional ITM with USSEP. I actually found a post on Discord from 4/19/2024 where I spoke about this. I'm really, really sorry for not documenting that. It's such a dumb mistake. But as I said, I want this mod to revert those changes by USSEP. It's outlined in the methodology and consistent with the mod. I will throw these changes in a separate patch, probably in an installer. I will be more clear about this in the mod description, and also just remove the No Water Flag LOD.

Hey! I swear I used to have an account for STEP but it's been a long time. I still check the site regularly. 🤍 RE: The SkyPatcher Version. I changed the description around when you screenshotted, but Nexus has been pretty slow to update those fields lately. I changed it to "Recommended Version", and I am probably just going to fall back to an installer anyway. It's too confusing for some people, which I kind of already expected. It is a way for me to obviate patch maintenance, but only because the lighting mods update so frequently. However, that does not necessarily mean I am done posting patches. I even updated the wording and made comments about how I don't necessarily recommend the SkyPatcher version for aesthetic reasons. Give me more than a few hours to work out the wording. 😅 RE: Undoing of USSEP changes, you'll notice that following the mod and both in the descriptions, I want the farmhouse to have this acoustic template. I have a really dumb, jargon-filled "method" section in the description for why I've chosen this. It's not an "oops". It's one of those things that makes more sense when you're not just reading records in xEdit. RE: Forwarding USSEP records, I just decided to just forward them from USSEP. It's nothing deep – a lot of people are abstaining from recommending USSEP for a lot of legitimate reasons. I would rather make this, and anything I publish, work independently from USSEP. And as for the No Water LOD message...literally no clue how those got there, to be honest. I'm going to remove them tonight, but they aren't really harming anything. Like I said, give me more than a couple hours to feel out any of the UX changes I need to. 😅 I always forget how when I update a mod, you get swarmed with a bunch of comments from people casually browsing Nexus or updating their mod manager. Love all you guys do, and thanks for all the kind words and being extremely helpful. 🤍 PS I'm a super easy guy to get ahold of. Feel free to message me on Nexus or Discord.
