If you don't want to update, then just finish your playthrough with 2.2.9.2. The 2.10.0 guide will still be here when you are done and ready to try something new. 
 
When you are ready, make a new profile with MO by copying your current profile and naming STEP 2.10 or w/e you like. Then, as Tech said, use the changelog to remove old mods, and install new mods. It shouldn't take you to long to do so. You don't have to unistall old mods though, you can just untick them in the left pane of MO. Then if you want to go back to 2.2.9.2 they will still be there. That's the great thing about profiles.

Try this thread and see if it would help your issue.

I have been away from STEP for a while and haven't had the time to update it with all the latest stuff from every app yet.

Your game won't explode if you skip it. I didn't even have that section in the guide until after it was a year old and it was fine before then. I do recommend Yuki's mods though. They are quire awesome.

Millenia makes his weapons to use the WAR mod, but if you don't use it then you'll just get a bunch of clipping. I put the requirement there because it's technically required, but for the purposes of the guide it's better to do animations and gameplay mods last.

The guy that does ENB is Russian, so stuff isn't always what it means in the INIs. Anyways, the white outfit in Spice of Life will be invisible if it's clicked.

It is not optional. SMIM plugins were merged into the STEP Patches. The mod is needed or you'll have missing textures in game.

If you have the newest version then clean it. The older versions weren't able to clean the mod properly. FNV does something weird with trees/shrubs that the others didn't so it wouldn't work with earlier versions. I actually think it version 3.1.0 that they fixed it, but I couldn't remember, so I just put 3.1.2.

That plugin prevents the ESM from being overwritten by other mods. You won't have that problem because the Bashed Patch will forward all the lighting changes that ILO's ESM makes. It's a redundant plugin that takes up a slot. Only users that don't use a bashed patch need it.

Ignore it. You won't have any issues.

I walked away from the guide before that mod really came out. I'm back now and testing new stuff. You can add the mod if you want and it won't hurt anything. It'll probably help.

Seems like there was one record that didn't show correctly. Delete 0200a30c and clean/sort masters, then you should be good to go.

I think it's a jewelry mod. Gemling Queen Jewelry is all I can think of. 

Merge them first. You'll be disabling the all the plugins from before the merge so it won't matter if they are tagged.

In the dropdown that is under the left panel switch to 'No Groups'.

LOOT tells you what to clean. Also, only mods that have plugins are cleanable. Everything else can't be cleaned.

You delete everything in your MO folder except profiles, downloads, and mods folders. Then install the MO version. You'll have to redo your MO settings and nexus login stuff, but that's it. 

Do you have the internal installer turned off? I don't think external one is necessary for this mod.

Only if the category has plugins in the right size otherwise it's pointless to do so since there are no plugins to merge that category. Everything on the right should be ticked because it is what tells the patcher to merge those records together into one so that everything from each mod is combined. Also, if Wrye bash asked to deactivate plugins, let it. Those plugins get completely merged into the Bashed Patch so you can reduce the size of the load order. Leave those plugins in the load order though, that way they are there if you regen the bashed patch again.
 
As for you not wanting the names tag, I believe that is fine. That sub record type doesn't cause crashes AFAIK.

Change the ini from within mod organizer.

It may be a missing bash tag. Maybe look at the tags listed on the LOOT list for those mods then compare it to the tags listed for them in Wrye Flash. Click the plugin in Wrye Flash and if there are some missing then right click the bottom right box and add them.

You probably didn't hide or unselect some of the mods that were merged. Just go back and look at those sections and you'll probably find the plugins that you should have removed.

I updated the name on your account. We only change names once, so don't change your mind. 

You need to download it.

Try going into your settings in the main menu and see if the controller is enabled. I play with a controller, so I'm not sure how that could even happen.
