Just an update: - I tried to uninstall 101Bugs, but it led to crashing, even using the clean save procedure. So I'm just going to go with it and ignore those crafting components. I've had absolutely no crashes otherwise, which is pretty awesome (given my previous playthroughs without STEP, which were very crashy). - One minor issue I found is that I am missing breakdown recipes for a lot of things. If I re-enable the Complete Crafting Overhaul breakdown recipes, I get some of the missing ones back, but not all, plus I have duplicates. It's not a big deal, I just figured that I would note it. - I bought a horse in Dawnstar from the ETaC-added vendor there, and the saddlebags function of Requiem wouldn't work on it. I swapped it for a standard horse from Whiterun and it seems to work fine on that one. - I've had a weird bug where my character occasionally gets a random fire trail. It goes away after a while. I'm not sure what is causing that one. - I'm really missing the Convenient Horses functionality (quick dismount, mounted looting) but I've been avoiding it because of possible conflicts with Requiem. I have to say, though, all-in-all, Requiem is a pretty amazing mod.

I added ETaC, Inns and Taverns, and Better Fast Travel to my list after installing SSME, and I've been playing through without any major crashes or difficulties so far. Here is a list of issues that I found: - I realized that Frostfall, Winter is Coming, and Cloaks of Skyrim were not Complete Crafting Overhaul-compatible. I downloaded the patches for each of the three. Frostfall and Cloaks of Skyrim worked fine, but for some reason the Winter is Coming patch screwed up the hair on most of the NPCs (I have no idea why). So I just left that one off for now. - Sometimes, some of the NPCs are naked (well, in their undergarments only). This includes, for example, the carriage drivers. It's pretty rare, so I'm just going to ignore it. - Realistic Needs and Diseases has had a couple of minor issues. I had to install the Real Water Two patch to make it work, and the "Drink from Stream" hotkey still isn't behaving as it should all of the time. Plus, RND doesn't recognize seawater in certain types of bottles. - The crafting components added by 101Bugs don't work correctly with Requiem. I've decided to just ignore this for now, but I wish I had known prior to starting, and I would have uninstalled 101Bugs then. I don't want to uninstall it now due to possible savegame issues, and I would rather not start over yet. As far as I can tell, there is no patch for 101Bugs + Requiem, unfortunately.

This works perfectly. Thank you!! Edit: Here is a link to the place that I downloaded the patch, in case anyone else needs it: https://github.com/EssArrBee/STEP-Patches For the future reference of anyone else who may be trying to combine these, I was able to get STEP Extended + Survival Pack + Weathers & Lighting Pack + Requiem Pack + Interesting/Inconsequential NPCs + Alternate Start working, but I had occasional freezes even using Memory Patch 3.0. I switched from Memory Patch 3.0 to SSME, https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50305/?, and it seemed to resolve all of the freezing (at least so far -- I was getting freezes every 2 hours or so, now I've probably played for 8 hours without a freeze or crash). I tried doing the full STEP Extended + Survival Pack + Weathers & Lighting Pack + REGS Pack + Requiem Pack + Alternate Start, but it was way too crashy (at least with Memory Patch 3.0 - haven't tried with SSME yet).

Is there a fixed STEP:Extended patch out there, that removes Ars Metallica / Diverse Priests? That is the part that I am getting stuck on. Thanks in advance!

For the ETAC install, the instructions are confusing. It says to install these patches: Installer Options: (Patches) 3DNPCsBetter Fast TravelDrinking Fountains of SkyrimExpanded Winterhold RuinsInns & TavernsInteresting NPCsLanterns of SkyrimNo Snow under the RoofOblivion Realms Serie As far as I can tell, 3DNPCs is "Interesting NPCs," and there is no other option in the installer for "Interesting NPCs." Otherwise, awesome collection, thank you so much!

Ok, so, I was wrong. I started a new game with no mods whatsoever, not even ENB, and the dust still looked like that. So, nevermind!

Hello, I just installed STEP Core for the first time, using Mod Organizer (I've used NMM for a long time, so I'm not a total newbie). Everything is great, and it seems rock solid, except for ONE really annoying problem. The dust in caves (i.e., the initial cave as you escape Helgen) falls super fast. It looks like rain or a water fall. This happens with a totally clean install, and the only thing that I did was follow the instructions carefully for STEP Core (and, after that, STEP Extended, using a different profile in Mod Organizer). Whether I'm using STEP Core or STEP Extended, I have the same, annoying dust waterfall problem. Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!
