My understanding is that you should ignore the MO fix message. Just be sure to run loot and add in all the loot meta rules. Left panel priority order should match the install order in step.

Already have a working step extended install with some lighting (relighting skyrim) and weather mods and an enb (phinix natural). I'd like to add regs and some of the immersive survival pack mods (frostfall, hunterborn, ineed - since rnd doesn't seem to be supported anymore). I noticed the immersive pack and regs are not listed as compatible. Am I asking for a bad time with this mix? Don't really feel like installing srle (includes some survival mods) as I'm pretty happy with the combo I'm currently running. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Any issues with removing the swamp options after I've been playing for a few hours? I removed it because of some frame drops I was getting, but I'm getting that "save relies on information that is no longer there" message. Maybe I'm just too paranoid about my saves. Worst case I guess I could just reinstall the mod and add back the swamp option. Better than risking my save.

Wow, you guys are quick. I'll rebuild the patch tonight. Appreciate the help.

A little confused about the bash tags for the extended patch. It looks like I forgot to add them. Any problems with adding them now? Do have to rebuild the bash patch afterwards?

Think it needs the master files from those other two mods. Confusing thing is the guide asks you to benchmark before you get to the sections with those mods. I just kept the old people mod unchecked until I got to Boyd.

I installed in the wrong order for my Extended install. Have a few hours into a new game. Any issues with moving it now? I'm always paranoid about messing up saves. I assuming after moving it I should rebuild all my patches? Thanks!

I guess three is my lucky number. Third time downloading and installing worked.

I'm getting a failure to launch when I enable the STEP Extended Patch most likely due to the following missing master file: TheChoiceIsYours.esp. I've downloaded the mod according to step instructions several times, but the esp is still missing. Any thoughts? Can't seem to launch the game without it.

Sorry really new at this. Folder has meshes scripts and textures, and also the closedfaced folder. I'm guessing top level just means drop in the main Content Add on folder, or should I put it into one of the other folders? Edit: figured it, just dropped it into the main folder. Thanks for your help!

STEP instructions in 2.2.9 state: "Now install the Content Addon using the Improved Closefaced Helmets ESP." I installed the Content Addon but have no idea whether the install used the Closedfaced Helmets ESP. Any help? A bit confused by the wording on this one.

Figure it out. Silly oversight on my part. Didn't put the Cleaned Update.esm at the top of the priority order. All seems to be working fine (so far). Started to install more mods and same problem even with update.esm at the top. Any thoughts? How do I double check if my security software (I'm just using windows defender) is blocking the launch? Edit: Looks like this has to do with Consistent Old people. And I'm guessing its because I'm doing the extended step and haven't installed BOYD yet.

I'm checking that. But same problem. Maybe something wrong with my priority order on the left pane of MO?

I'm no longer able to launch skyrim from MO for some reason. It just immediately crashes and the message "request failed: connection refused" shows up in the bottom of MO. Not sure what this means. I started systematically checking if it was some of the more recent mods I installed, but it doesn't seem to be. Could this have anything to do with Nexus being down for maintenance?

Am at the part in the Step 2.2.9 guide where it's asking you to create this meta rule: Weapons & Armor_TrueOrcish&DaedricWeapons.esp Load After: Weapons & Armor Fixes_Remade.esp Only problem is that I'm not able to drag the ESPS over to the "Load After" window. It looks like only the blue plugins can be moved and the two above are not blue. Am I missing something? I've looked over the LOOT readme, but can't figure this out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So should we install the extended core and core mods all at once or just install core first? I'm about halfway through core. And for the extended patch you download but don't enable until the end?
