Speaking as someone who'd not done a lot of modding before surfing on into STEP I would say this: What STEP has done is given me a solid, stable base on which to spring from with my own ideas. Luckily, most of what STEP suggests gelled OK with my own ideas anyway, but without STEP, there's no way in hell I'd have started using things like ENB's, no way in hell I'd have known the various Edit programs did anything but let you clean mods, what a compatibility patch is, etc. It's expanded my knowledge base on how games like Skyrim work about a 100 fold. And even if I don't 100% follow the STEP line on what options to use for mods, it's certainly given me the confidence to know that if I do try something and it goes FUBAR, I can have a fair shot at fixing it and getting a solid setup again.

Have you tried doing the old frame rate limit to 60 fps? That often helps with the carts jumping etc stuff in the start sequence.

Doubt it would have been MO. I had that same issue of not leaving sleep mode and it turned out to be a combination of power settings and a bad memory stick. MO not seeing the mod directory when you rebooted could have just been a function of that.

Would probably be just as easy to move any ini tweaks that are required for certain mods to that specific mod's instructions. Have a general "Do these ini tweaks now" section at the start for the general performance tweaks and then as you go through the guide, do mod specific ones like the Darn UI fonts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the Darn UI tweak at one stage done when you installed the mod? Thought it was in one of the early guide versions.

Try hiding or deleting the file that is showing in game and see if that forces the one you want to show?

Of course, the issue of getting permission from all the mod authors might be a limiter on your idea...

True. But having the font tweaks in will crash you id Darn UI's not correctly installed.

Have you put the font tweaks in the ini file?

Yes in that case you do, when presented with the choice, select merge.

Sweet. Done.

So just merging that into your data/meshes directory should be OK?

Ah well, like I said, not a real biggie for me. I'll work with what I have.

Done both of them to date, up to the "Do You feel Lucky' section.

If DY cant help, I'll let Tannin know. First time I've ever had it happen to me as well.

1.2.11 MO and 3.0.32 FNVEdit

Yeah it's doing it for me, too. No biggie I just C and P it to the appropriate place.

Say EssArrBee. That Vault Boys splash on the guide could probably be updated, seeing as with the new order of mods, you actually don't have to untick Afterschool Special to check that section worked OK.

I always do them straight via the editor in MO.

Have you made the ini tweak regards bLoadfaceGenEGTFiles?

No worries EssArrBee. :) And glad that fixed it for you coldbyte. :)

I am fairly sure it says when installing NVR III that you need to reinstall the Robert's textures after it again. The way I did it before SRB added it to the guide and I was testing was to originally install Roberts without the textures, do everything else and then install NVR III, and then install Roberts textures as a separate mod. That worked for me, anyway. Edit, yep looking at the NVR III page it mentions that you'll need to reload your male body replacer textures (The body and hand ones anyway, Dracomies expressly mentions not to let it overwrite his face textures) after intsalling NVRIII. You may want to look at that, EssArrBee. You don't mention it in the guide.

I always do them manually as I go.

I ALWAYS run Book Covers Skyrim. Just adds so much it's not funny.

Seeing how I'm running Legendary, REGS and Requiem, the answer is likely yes. Mind you I am at about 230 plug ins, and might need to merge a few, but that'll happen when it needs to.
