So I have completed the Step 2.2.1 using Mod Organizer and everything appears to be working smoothly... only played up to level 9 so far without any CTD or issues... love the way the game looks and feels so a big thanks to the whole crew that built the STEP manual. The only reason I went with MO was that I used Wrye Bash through the entire STEP 2.2.0 manual and when I finished the game wouldn't even launch so back to square one with MO. On to the issue at hand... once I setup ENBSeries v0.139 and Skyrealism ENB in Cinematic Mode the game forces itself into Windowed Mode... I have Googled the issue and checked the ini files for fullscreen options but nothing seems to fix the issue. When I run TESV it always comes up with Windowed Mode option checked so I uncheck it and attempt to run SKSE via MO but again once the game starts it goes right into a smaller screen with 2 black bars, one at the top and one at the bottom. If I uninstall ENBSeries and Skyrealism I can continue my saved game and it reverts right back to fullscreen so I have isolated the ENB as the source of the issue. Any suggestions? My setup: Vanilla Skyrim EVGA 670 FTW 2GB w/ latest driver 8GB 1666 Memory MSI MPower Z77 (OC Genie)/ 3570K at about 4GHz Windows 7 64bit ENB 139 / Skyrealism (this breaks the fullscreen mode) Ultra settings Mod Organizer Step 2.2.1 manual completed with default graphics settings (no high performance options)

Sorry for the wrong forum choice... thank you for moving. I did use WS for my install and have literally followed every step in the STEP, SIG and DDSopt guides. Going to start downloading and installing the mods in section 2 tonight. Thank you for the reassurance that I did not need the bsa files and about the conflicts.

So this is my first attempt to mod and have followed STEP v2.2.0a guide to the letter... branching off at each topic and reading up. I have run TES5Edit successfully on my vanilla install and have just finished optimizing the textures in DDSopt... now my issue. After optimizing and archiving the HRDLC1.7z HRDLC2.7z HRDLC3.7z STD.7z according to the DDSOpt instructions I have copied them to SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers and told Wrye Smash to install the 4 files except after it was done I have zero bsa files for the High Res Texture Packs or Skyrim Textures in the Data folder... all it appears to have installed is a Texture folder. When looking through Wrye Smash console I have 100's of conflicts. Anyone know where I screwed up? If I launch Skyrim through Wrye Smash it appears to work but for some reason my mind is telling me those bsa files should be there and I shouldn't have all of these conflicts. Thanks for any help for a mod noob.
