Basically; however, a few hairs are better than none. Hopefully someone with some mesh experience will pick it up. I tried to contact the author a long time ago, but never got a response.

Of the compares, the last one (DTTL+EDT2) is the best. I vote we add both these mods? What about everyone else?

I use the 181 Basic version. lol

You either get an undesirable color change with AOF or undesirable "brush-like ends" with Superior... pick the lesser of the to evils. I personally prefer Superior because it couples far better with Beards and Brows, giving a more uniformed look, than AOF does. We shouldn't focus completely on just the hair but what is also around the hair. How well do all the mods work and fit together artistically that affect the PC and NPCs? IMO, that combination is Superior, Beards and Brows. As for the meshes, that is being tested with Better Vanilla Hairs, but it's kind of waiting on this debate to be settled so unnecessary testing isn't done.

My guess is that your issues are script related. Have you made sure that no patches are needed for the mods to work nicely together? TES5Edit is used for this but it's a more advanced skilled.

They look as tho they have some color on them. This is added by SFO (179 i think; basic doesn't have the additional plants). WATER also has some but you haven't installed that yet. Looks like a lighting issue so it's probably your ENB.

I've played around with several of the textures in-game today and to be honest, the best textures that "fit" into the game are Rocking Stones and Alternative Mountains. I was using the 1K of all textures when testing. I also tested with Moss Rocks since that mod affect rocks and, imo, the only textures that look good with that mod are the two I just mentioned. The other textures are too dark and/or look bad with Moss Rocks.

OP updated with compares. Go look and review!

New version (1.0.1) seemed to have fixed the BOSS issue for me.

I was only curious about the BAIN plugin as I know a lot of STEP mods are BAIN compatible. I recently installed Even Better Quest Objectives which is in BAIN format but it used the fomod rather than what you described above. I have since reinstalled the darn thing manually without the installer and still no go. I'll look into the post by Vuud. (anyone kind enough to point me to it?)

Carbon fiber...bad! Dark leather...good! Hopefully it's CaBal-ed HD goodness dark leather! Then we can say "bye bye" to Nightingale Prime.

Has anyone ran BOSS on the new v1.0rc? I installed SkyBirds, ran BOSS to allow it to sort and received a crash. Thinking I might move back to v0.12.9

As for the SMIM-ed trees, I've been flying around in the trees in true Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon fashion for a good while and have yet to find any issues with SFO. Looks good.

Anyone know how the BAIN plugin works? Does WB have to be installed? I just noticed it in the plugins list but it doesn't appear to be active.

Gotcha! I will test that and get it properly installed because I was using a manually stripped down version instead of using the external installer. I also edited my post above. Wasn't talking about the BAIN for your mod, but the plugin for MO in general.

The FOMOD is fixed? Because that is what it automatically starts. Is that the "internal installer" you spoke of? Anyone know if the BAIN plugin is working in MO or active or in-the-works or what is up with that? (i don't think i have WB installed anymore but interested if the BAIN plugin works for mods)

So it's fixed in v1.0rc? Will test now!

Hey WilliamImm, Any plans for a fix so that MO installs this correctly using the installer?

Thanks for the note. STEP doesn't cover ENBs so ENB users may have to do some tweaking.

Found it and copied duplicates above. Any else agree with this? I've never used them so I can't really say.

Wasn't this being discussed somewhere to be dropped? Another thread somewhere perhaps? I don't find it tho so perhaps not...

I only update this mod every two to three releases. lol

That would be good too. My thoughts were that if he'd do the Nightingale armors then we could eliminate the Nightingale Prime mod.

I sent him a message here on the forums that as soon as he adds those to the Book they will be incorporated into STEP. I also requested a retex of the Nightingale armors.
