Thanks Darth. I remember reading about this trick, but had never needed to use it. Worked like a charm!

Thanks for this. I have a question, though. I'm using the replacement esm by Astakos preventing wild animal spawns in cities instead of the SkyTest esp. When I try to install your patch, I get a "missing master" warning, as the original esp is no longer being used. Will I have to choose between one patch and the other?

I can only speak for myself, but I find them very helpful. I don't post much here, but I've been enjoying a slightly modified version of this set up, and I like to keep the mods updated. Your efforts are appreciated, Thanks.

Will the esm replacement made by Astakos to prevent wild animal spawning work with the new SkyTEST - Realistic Animals? It looks like it may have been made specifically for v.1.48.

Thanks. Oops, guess I should thank you rather than myself :)

FYI, the Ruffled Feather mod collection has been hidden on the Nexus by its author.

I'm an idiot! I was looking at the unofficial patches for Dawnguard, Hearthfire and Dragonborn, thinking they were the DLCs themselves. Thanks for straightening me out.

Thanks. I was just a little nervous about deviating from the order of the STEP guide.

I'm a longtime Skyrim console player, but am just learning the ins and outs of playing on a PC. While waiting for my PC to arrive, I purchased the Legendary Edition of Skyrim on a disk, and installed it through Steam once my computer arrived. I want to install the STEP:Core mods, but I've run into a problem... It looks like the vanilla Skyrim game and the DLCs need to be installed at specific places in the installation order, but with the version of Skyrim I downloaded they were all just put into their respective folders automatically. I tried deleting my game through Steam and buying the vanilla game separately, but was prevented from doing so because "your account already owns some of the above items". So I've got two questions, 1) Can I use the downloaded Legendary Edition (Skyrim + the 3 DLCs) as part of the STEP guide process?, and 2) Is there another way to download the vanilla game separately? Thanks in advance for the help with such basic questions.
