In the LOOT meta rules for this Mod, I'm already seeing several .esps for Skymills. Should I edit the rule and remove these to match the list in the Mod page, or just add the relevant esps in the list? Thanks! GT

If this helps - here the guide order I think I followed: MO Guide - setup Loot, and SKSE Launcher Step core Main - redirect > Installation Guide > DDSopt Quick Start - stop after Van. Textures (copy, not archive) somwhere in here I installed Wryebash and TES5Edit INIguide GPU guide and Monitor calibration Enboost and stableUgrds That's pretty much where I am atm. GT

Well, now it looks pretty close to that. I was confused for a while afer following the DDSopt quick start guide. I had all the _opt textures at the end. I did finally find a post that mentioned unchecking the original .esps in the right pane. Now, after reading this post, I thin I'm pretty close to your list... with stableugrids added now. I did add SKSE to my data dir manually thinking I would not run Skyrim without it. It's a part of my base install in that regard. current load: STD Ugrids UnoffSPtch Dawnguard Dawnguard_opt Unoff. Dwn Patch HearthFires Hearthfires_opt UnOff. Hearth Patch DrgBorn Drgborn_opt UnOff. Drgbrn patch HRDLC1 HRDLC2 HRDLC3 (unchecked) Highrestexpack 01,02,03 - unchecked in right pane as well GT

ok, Hey so back to DblU's post on how this guide might possibly be better, I think one of the things I found frustrating so far is the jump to different guides at various points in the process. There doesn't seem to be one consistent message on how to achieve STEP:Core 2.2.9. After following the instalation guide, and the ddsopt guide (quick start), and the step guide, and the MO guide, (having not yet seen any DLC guide), I have a different load order than the one listed by DoubleYou after only the first few steps. I think "consolidate" is the order of the masses when it comes to clarifing the guide! GT
