Yes, the physics goes nuts when vsync is off. Go to some caves with it off and want FPS skyrocket to about 300 FPS. It is so smooth, but lets your GPU just melt itself.

Yes, actually I've begun testing Optimized textures today. I propose that if you want to get a better framerate outdoors then use 1k exteriors. You can keep 2k interiors unless your system is really weak. I haven't had a dedicated desktop computer for gaming in about a year now, so I just use my laptop and try to get performance over 30FPS. I've been getting about 10 extra FPS in Freeside with 1k exteriors, so I will be recommending that for mid to low range systems. Someone with a high end system will have to attest to the viability of using 2k exteriors because I won't be able to test that any time soon. There seems to something up with Poco Bueno exteriors being reduced though. They look at little blurry and washed out, but I don't know why. Maybe because they have been reduced from their Ojo Bueno origins. One option for right now might be to use the bat files Kelmych made to divide up the NMC medium files, then delete the exteriors from it. Install the Small pack normally then install the a repacked Medium pack without the exteriors so the Small pack's exteriors are used. That will give you 2k interiors and 1k exteriors. Optimization for NMC's doesn't really do very much since he seems to do it anyways.

I removed the note since there is only one main file and no optional files.

Must have been recent I just checked the mod page a day or two ago.

I think best we could is make a list of the version of every mod that is current when the guide updates. That would be something to compare mods against from STEP to STEP (pun intended ).

We don't have enough people to maintain something like that. It is very tedious and unless we could automate it, there would be no way for use to keep up with all the updates. We have enough trouble with that as it is. Right now we have 1 site dev/admin, three guide devs, three or four moderators, and two testers. We would need to double all those just to be able to implement nice stuff like that into the guide.

You have vsync off. You need it on or the engine can get all screwed up with anything over 60fps.

I believe if you add in CCOR and the CCOR - Requiem patch then you get most of the WAF/GDO keywords that CCOr includes.

It still looks like it wants to find the game in C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonSkyrim (Steam).

You know I'm starting to think the lag might be from wild edits of that insert things into the Tamriel Worldspace. That has been a known side effect of inserting things from their proper cell to Tamriel.

No, if you have both, you have OPtimus, since it can switch between the GPUs. If you only have one then it means that the Intel graphics will not take over for applications that don't need a discrete GPU. Something like hardware acceleration on a browser.

Go to Device Manager and see if you have 2 Display Adapters, if you only see one(your geforce) that mean you don't have an integrated card. That will help you know if you have Optimus.

Okay, well remove the ENB files and see if Skyrim runs then you can move onto trying to get ENB/ENBoost running. You have a Nvidia card, so I assume you have Optimus for better battery life.

STEP Core just needs Stats, Names. STEP Extended needs Statns, Names, Relev, Delev. Combined Plugin needs nothing I believe. The Combined Plugin is designed for users that don't want to use the STEP Patches. It only requires DB and SMIM or HF, DB, and SMIM. All it does is combine the SMIM plugins, No NPC Greeting, add the leveled list more salt please, and No Spinning Death Animations. The last three had no assets like textures, meshes, scripts.... so they can just be merged into a plugin. The HF version forwards some records that HF needs which often get overwritten by other mods, like weather or housing. Install SMIM, remove the plugins and choose the regular version or the HF version, boom, done. The five questions on the STEP Patches is so simple you can't get it wrong.

I'm guessing you have optimus and are trying to run STEP with the latest ENBoost? Injector version or Wrapper version? If Injector version is what you are using, did you try the Optimus Fix from the nexus?

I think they are okay except the Water Effects esp, which goes after RWT. Probably, not. We don't really have the staff to do the whole STEP Extreme stuff, so this is just Extended because of performance issues.

Once you move it, it should just overwrite the current log over and over, so it doesn't clutter up stuff with a bunch of redundant logs.

Double clidk the overwrite folder. Then you can drag and drop the log into the Altf4 folder. The left pane can still be scrolled while the Overwrite pop up is open.

It's one of the last BSAs that loads with the guide's install order. It could just be to many plugin loaded BSAs. If you install another mod with a BSA after Spice of Life, then the game might not load. It's a really tricky limitation to nail down and has caused me to pull out more hair than I'd like to admit.

I try pretty hard to bumb stuff down, but it takes lots of time to write that stuff over and over, so I try to do it a bit at a time. It is hard to know how much to dumb things down because I know to much about modding to myself in that mindset. If there was a better third person mechanic I'd put more cosmetics in, but Skyrim was the first game where Beth really got the engine to be smooth enough for third person. Hopefully, Fallout 4 continues that. I want Mass Effect 3 type of over the shoulder smoothness, but I'm afraid that Bioware might have better coders than Bethesda. You could start with something Mikoto's or Ling's Pretty Things, but I can't give support since I just don't if they work with FCO, Dumber would be the guy to ask. I'll consider just about anything, but I'm not doing any testing for another day probably. I'm taking a couple days now that I've done a bunch of updates to F&L and pushed out STEP 2.2.9. First is going to be the DDSopt instructions for FNV, that is probably something I'll have out by the end of week. Just making myself actually write is up is hard though, after writing so much for the STEP update. I need to probably take a real break from modding for a bit so I'm not feeling so burnt out on it. I have looked at this. Guess I just never considered adding it because auto reloading just didn't seem to matter to me when the game has VATS, or bullet time with PN. Woohoo, everybody!!! The same day STEP 2.2.9 launches I hit 20K in page views for F&L. I don't have any real type of way to know how many people are enjoying the guide, so I just go off page views. Never thought it would have that many that fast.

If there are only two options, the armor and none, hen choose the armor. Otherwise, choose the option we list.

Yes you ONLY need to do it if using that plugin, but adding more rules will have no effect.

Best place to take your report is here: https://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1503686-rel-loot-thread-10/ The devs know more about it than we do. They love looking through logs and reports for stuff to make their app better.

Okay, sometimes we forget to hit refresh on the guide to repopulate the instructions, so it should be good now.

Logic Dragon did the same mod for Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Oblivion, so I'm pretty sure he has the whole first person camera thing down.
