The skyrim based INI tweaks are at the top of the Guide. There shouldn't be any tweaks in the mod pages other than those that are specific to those mods, such as SKSE.ini changes. No Skyrim.ini nor SkyrimPrefs.ini tweaks are located in the mod pages. If there are, please notify us so we can change that.

I think parts of the outfit are suppose to be leather; however, I can't say that with 100% certainty because I've never played with this armor equipped. The vanilla is so bad it's hard to tell.

Sounds about right. Better males uses a fixed foot mesh. I'm a bit surprised this mod doesn't include a better foot mesh than vanilla. That's one of the first things that should be fixed when working with character models.

Doesn't bother me one bit either. Where do you normally see farmhouse windows next to a "fancy" window anyway? The mod author has plans to expand the mod, but he has to edit the building meshes and add cube maps for each and every one...there's a lot of builds in Skyrim! I certainly wouldn't want that task. That's why I stated, "Regardless if this hasn't expanded beyond farmhouses...". I wanted it to be judged by it's own merit, not on it's "completeness". Which the consensus seems to be that everyone likes it, but the only reason not to use it is because it's not expanded to all or the majority of Skyrim yet. This is odd to me because if you look at mods like Relighting Skyrim which have been around for a very long time but only recently have been "completed" you see the opposite. Thousands of people used it even though it wasn't completed yet. Granted those types of mods started out with more; however, I think covering the farmhouses is a great start.

That works. Move it if you wish. Interface was just what popped in my mind when making the mod page.

I say accept it.

I don't know. All the child mods will be put off until later but RS Children will be dropped entirely. No one thought that one was for STEP.

Then it looks like it's good to go.

Yeah, it still causes the issue.

Yep. I agree.

Will have to test that out.

I didn't, but another user here did and they couldn't get it to fix the issue.

I think the quivers come down to aesthetics and which one you like best. I still need to test the issue with the arrow length. I really think it's something you don't see until you pan the camera around while the bow is drawn and lets face it, that it's how you play the game. That's for screen archers and players just curious about how the PC looks when the arrow is drawn or this most likely would have been fixed by Bethesda in one of the patches. If this bothers anyone, we'll have to keep CQLA because the quivers were specifically redesigned for the longer arrows so they wouldn't poke out the bottom of the quiver. It seems silly to me to change the design of anything in-game just for an issue that would only affect screen archers and curious players. I say this because I did test all arrows and bows with females (smallest scale size) and never saw the issue in first person. I'll test again in third person, but it probably won't be for this release unless I simply get bored. I'll use BSW quivers in my personal profile.

It's a known issue with the mod and isn't an animation built into it. The degree of how much you're tossed back seems to vary from setup to setup. The mod author stated a while back that he'd look into it; however, there hasn't been a solution. I'm hoping one will come eventually. I think once this is installed we'll see more of how it affects the game and it could end up being dropped again. Time will tell. Right now, the only major bug is the one you mentioned. The other known bugs are minor and we have yet to experience them.

After re-evaluating these, I'm voting for Nightshade. EotW simply looks like vanilla that been put through a sharpening filter with a couple overlays here and there. That makes three votes for, now...Core or Extended? I'm leaning toward Extended since they're not really HD versions of vanilla like most of CaBaL's are. There is a noticeable color change; however, I also don't think it's too much of a change to exclude it from Core. Therefore, I'll leave that bit up to DY and SRB's votes.

Passing up on this one. Users still report issues with 101 Bugs not spawning, there is not Hearthfire compatibility, and the textures aren't that great. Dropped from Testing for Guide v2.2.9.1.

Make sure you run LOOT to sort the plugins correctly and also go back through the Guide to make sure you have all the CoT patches that some mods may require.

I can't say what would cause this but you really should update your STEP install. It's really simple to do with MO. Just click through the Guide and update the mods that need to be updated, install the new mods, and remove the old mods that have been dropped. The changelog has all the information on the mod additions and drops. I did it yesterday myself and it only took an hour to ensure all my mods were up-to-date...of course, I'm running the v2.2.9.1 Dev Guide.

For pure STEP users, it's going to be super simple. Simply install one mod and the already generated files and you'll be done. For users that will be using other mods on top of STEP or a partial STEP installation, those users will need to run the set of tools themselves.

In light of incompatibility issues and the unpopular candle smoke, this mod is being dropped from Testing for v2.2.9.1.

I agree with the two above. Dropped from testing for Guide v2.2.9.1.

Any other options on this one? If not, it'll have to be dropped form testing since it seems I'm the only one using it.

Too many votes against this one. Dropped from Testing for Guide v2.2.9.1.

Accepted for STEP Guide v2.2.9.1 as Extended. If anyone has a good argument for Core inclusion, please say so.

Yes, just install in the order the Guide has it listed. Patching doesn't matter here because it's just meshes and textures as you said. You will not need to disable it before remaking any patches. The only reason it is in the place it is in the Guide is because it has to be installed after DSR.
