I personally don't hang onto the mod anymore. I used to be like that and kept every mod I downloaded, but once I got a stable and good internet connection I no longer seen any point in doing so.

I typically stay away from politics, but am manly liberal.

you're welcome. MO is standalone program and should move over without much issues.

Forum members are to please disregard Razors post above. He has received a warning due to impolite and rude behavior. This is the Banter Inn forum. Users are free to discuss whatever is on their minds within the limits of the forum rules.

I've done this for the dev Guide where we are replacing XPMS with the Extended version. If you're still installing the Guide, you could do this now if you wanted. Several of the staff have been using it for some time without issue.

I'm not that great with the scripts, but adding both functions to into a single script should work. The game should only use the function that is being called by the respective mod. Ideally, this should be provided by one of the authors as a "patch".

Just run it once at the end of the Guide.

Google, how to move Steam installation. There are special steps to follow.

No, you may now keep the SMIM-Merged plugin in your load orders. The forwards from SMIM will be removed from the STEP Patches in the next release of those files (this will be soon). We'll be instructing users to keep the SMIM plugin active. Now that Brumbek has finally updated his FOMOD, STEP users will receive the merged plugin. Because of this, it no longer makes sense for us to keep forwarding those edits into the Patches. This also means less maintenance for the Patches, which is always a good thing. ::

Confirmed the issue. The exact issue is that the chicken.dds file is a normal and not diffuse texture as it should be. I've looked into Bellyaches and the files are correct so something must of gotten mixed up along the lines when putting the Compilation together. It will be fixed in the next release of those files (which will be soon).

That means it never got fixed. I'm using the High Res version and I'm not sure it has this issue. I'll have to test.

You're going to have to reduce your vram load. This can be done, but it's not easy and as Kelmych said, well take customization throughout the Guide. You can skip the HRDLC and the STEP Optimized Vanilla Textures. Instead, replace them with Vanilla Reduced Textures by alt3rn1ty. Use the 512 version. The game will not be quite as pretty in some things, but we're only working with 1GB here. Next, in SMIM install the Half-Sized texture option when you're following the instructions. Now limit all exterior and interior mods to 1K. The clutter items and smaller objects should use the 512K textures when available. At the end, be sure to use the "STEP Compilation Installer - Normal Res - 2292l" and not the High Res version. That should get you close.

This would be something that we would simple fix with the STEP Patches.

That's because Rustic Clothing is not a part of the live Guide (v2.2.9.2). It is accepted for v2.10.0 of the Guide which is still in development.

Yes, place this after Rustic Clothing.

Run your Bashed Patch and the crime distance will be in the Tweaks section. Make sure you have "Crime Distance" checked. STEP recommendations are here: https://wiki.step-project.com/Bashed_Patch#Recommendations

What does your Crash Fix log say?

What enblocal.ini settings were you using? Also, you may have to add "enbhost.exe" and "d3d9.dll" to your antivirus exception list.

You'll be fine just installing it and playing.

Yes.

Just a "well done".

This mod is outdated as of version 2.3 and I am officially closing the doors on it since maintaining it makes little sense anymore. Since in version 2.3 of Jaggarsfeld I overhauled the lighting, the only thing the original is not providing that JE is, is follower support. I'll be making an add-on for this that completely redesigns the cabin into something more efficient in the design and layout. This will be the basis for the Extended Edition of the mod which will be hosted on the original mod's homepage. Users needing or wanting follower support will have to wait for this add-on. No ETA.

No, we don't need to know those things. Manually installing all the mods is not how STEP is set up so you're likely to run into several things not listed in the guide.

I'll get to these things tomorrow sometime. I've updated your username for you.
