hi guys - where's the best place to post a few end lines of this log for a 2nd pair of eyes in idnetifying potenital freezing issues after trying some non-step mods like custom charecter/follwer adds? I'm confused becuase the last script before the freeze has been those beloning to footsteps and another STEP safe mod, which cant be right since STEP is flawless. Thanks!

where they come from hasnt been important for me if STEP recommends them since I beileve them to be safe/stable. If another mod comes along that STEP recommends me to over install and it looks better I do manually backup the files it would overwrite by hand. Maybe I do need to consider where they come from though, but getting Skyrim stable is my forefront concern. With STEP I seemed to have that stability now so I thank you for all your help and recommedations.

I couldn't get EFF to work for me so I am trying Amazing Follower Tweaks. So far it seems to work fine, but havent really ran it through the gambit. Anyone have any bad exp with AFT? https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/15524

By hand is not as painless as Wrye but, I feel total control over mod installs as I can replace and update by hand and see exactly where everything goes.

This is a lame question but one that must be asked by me since I stopped knowing it all last year: what is a leveled list?

yes, all by hand in the order STEP advises. It actaully doesnt take that long once files are downloaded. Thanks again for the help!

I'm trying it now, but am not sure how to get it to work on NPCs. Not sure if you can recruit a standard NPC. I'm hoping someone can tell us that. :)

I am trying EFF but am not sure how to use the menu system. I cant get it to pop up when I talk to an NPC I'd like to recruit. Any tips?

Thank you WilliamImm

So are Lush Trees and the Bigger Trees mod found to be stable, even though they aren't the best looking? I will use them if STEP approved as far as they don not cause stability issues.

Any good videos for using Wrye to install mods, ENBs? I've done all STEPs (non-lighting) recommend mods by hand so far as I've trusted every one of them for good reason.

I am using an enb that does have this issue. Perhaps someone can recommend one that is sunny bright, clear, colorful I can use instead? I tried the first ENB on the STEP recommended list and didn't like it as it wasn't colorful or bright enough for my tastes.

I get what you're saying; test and see if it doesn't cause any grief. What's a solid testing path you guys use for introducing new/untested mods into your game for personal use and or future STEP use?

I'll grab the latest one then, thanks Neovalen.
