Complexity? Install, run patch, activate new esp, play. It really is that simple. Unless you mean needing a skeleton? Not any harder than AV, SkyRe, or the like. I don't use any of those or the like either. Don't get me wrong. The mod is great and I WANT to use it and will install it, but requiring so much just to run the mod properly and then having to fix the conflicts is more complex than anything STEP has done thus far. Perhaps a "STEP version" can be created and uploaded so the users don't have to create a patch or fix the load order. STEP really should be user friendly to all levels of experience and that means eliminating as many detailed steps from the STEP install as possible. That goes for all the mods that have "detailed" instructions in the STEP installation. STEP is such a huge project, it would be nice if the mod authors got on board and created versions of the mods just for STEP; eliminating conflicts, cleaning, picking specific textures, etc.

I don't know. I haven't installed this one yet. I don't care for the complexity involved.

Weird. I use WB and have installed and uninstalled is many many times without issues.

We should provide details on how to create a patch if we're going to be including mods like this.

Are you using WB or MO?

You load it before as the text you posted states. This allows the cell edits to remain in place and not be overwritten.

This sounds better. I was weary about having the notes unlocked for all.

Okay, tested and confirmed the z-fighting. I'm using the latest drivers too so they didn't help.

You only use the ESP if you experience issues with the ESM. So far, no one have reported any issues with the ESM here.

STEP isn't using the vanilla for wolves so a change (which looks grey to me) of the armor to make the armor match the wolves in-game is a no-brainer if you ask me.

I'll try it when I can. At work right now. :)

My tweaked settings now has it on ultra but that also includes the STEP tweak. Any confirmation on the driver update fixing the issue?

Bc bellyaches changes the wolfs from brown to grey?

Not untweaked, no. When I played through Skyrim before I discovered STEP, I played on high settings and never noticed any z-fighting.

Too big in size is not that relative, 90% of the community use Baseline (plus some non-STEP mods) and it's set at 1 VRAM, so that is you're starting point when considering such resource uses. With that said, compares are always worth it. Though I'd personally wait until the mod is added to the "Testing" group in this before doing so.

Have you maxed your distant detail? If you didn't then that's the reason. I don't have any z-fighting unless I have Distant Detail set at Ultra. Yep. It's set to Ultra; however, my view distances aren't. From left to right: 12, 25, 12, 12, 7, 10.

I figured those restrictions were put there for a reason (similar reason for the STEP namespace being locked down) so I had never really thought about not being able to use that tab.

I've never experienced the z-fighting myself. I mostly contribute that to not increasing my FOV, but then again, I mainly play in 3rd person so FOV isn't as important for me.

Yes, but you've been here long enough to know that isn't how we proceed with testing and getting mods into STEP. Neo has he own thing right now of which, none of the core STEP team uses. So we don't know what the textures look like compared to the current STEP.

BCF is really jumping the gun on this one. We need screens and compares of all the conflicts. However, I agree with Kelmych here and completely trust Cestral's judgement as he's proven himself in this community. Since Neo has been using it, maybe he can provide a list of conflicting files?

Anyone can update the notes ... I'd like the general community to get the hang of the interface. Just go to the mod page, click "Edit With Form" and update the notes on the 4th tab ;) I'd like to put it out there that I can't. The checkbox is not check-able for me and I can not type in the textboxes.

Reason I ask is because Natural Eyes, which is STEP's currently included mod, is 128x resolution and tiny but still looks good. Making huge textures for such a tiny detail in-game is absurd to me and a waste of precious VRAM. Such textures are best used for those "pretty screenshots" of your character.

What's the size of the files?

Haha! Ask and you shall receive! ...though it might take me a while and in separate videos. YouTube has a 2GB size limit on videos I believe. Oh and just for the info, the resolution these video are captured on is 1600x900 because that is as high as my laptop will go. Without the ENB, it still runs pretty smooth at that resolution though. :D
