I finished the STEP core install steps up to building my bashed patch, and am getting tghe Master Errors message, which lists Unofficial High Resolution Texture Patch.esp, and below it, the HighResTexturePack01.esp, ...02.esp, and ...03.esp. Could someone please help me figure out how to fix this issue? I read the pop-up embedded text, but it doesn't instruct me HOW I might fix them. Also, why are screenshot uploads no longer allowed on these forums? I see an Uploading is not allowed. The file is a jpg that is well below 10MB. PS it's not a deliquent master error. Finally, I am prompted to make the moveitLWT.esp mergeable but am hesitant to do so, since if that was optimal then I assume STEP would have chronicled it. Am I find skipping this? Thanks a lot.

1.2.8 is now out, in case that fixes things

OK I won't. So, as for moving forward with the STEP process, can I follow the instructions or do I need to modify them to account for MO 1.2.6?

Hey folks, I have finished installing the necessary mods for core STEP and am now at this stage: 3.A. Post-Installation Housekeeping 3.A.1. Sort Plugins Using BOSS Am I good to follow the instructions down to the letter on the STEP page, or do I need to make any tweaks to anything, either due to MO or any other changes? (I just read that 1.2.7 is out, so I am going to install it now)

What with the weirdness in 1.2.6 of MO, do I want to install the BSA or the loose version the Thundering Shout mod? STEP calls for loose: "Use only the optional loose files version." https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3799/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D3799&pUp=1

Thanks!

Will do. Thanks.

Thanks folks Where should my Dragonborn and Dawnguard optimized textures folders go, in terms of Mod priority in MO? Also, I have one warning message in MO that there are files in my overwrite mod, but there's no guided fix available. What might be a way I can investigate/solve this?

Thanks. My confusion right now re: BUM is a bit more basic. I don't see any help resources to explain what to populate in the Game Configuration, Preferences,Font and Colour, and Debug tabs. I doubt Font and Color and Debug need anything, but for Game Configuration, other than selecting Skyrim in the Game Selector dropdown, I am not sure what to populate in the following fields: Mod Path ---- the location of my Mods folder in Mod Organizer? Becuase Skyrim.esm is the only file type I can search for, I have chose that file in my Data folder. Masterlist Path --- not sure where the Masterlist path should be. BOSS Program -- I chose the BOSS.exe is the BOSS folder Can anyone help me verify what should be correct for these three fields? Thanks.

ahh the joys of STEP and modding the hell outta this game. Sigh.

Thanks. Part of what I'm asking-- MO is not organizing downloads by order of download (ie newest to oldest), even when I click the Done tab. Makes it difficult to search them by order I downloaded them in.

Crap. Nothing. MO just "blinks" when I click any of the apps (BOSS, BUM, SKSE, Skryim) but doesn't do jack.

Yep,I can start via Steam.

Well ****. Rebooted, but to no effect. Still can't run anything from the MO. I've gone from 1.2.5 to 1.2.6 to 1.1.2 today, after noticing the STEP advice about reverting back to 1.1.2. All the binaries are correct so I have no idea what to do to troubleshoot this. I can't launch anything, not even Skyrim,, from MO.

I reverted from 1.2.6 back to 1.1.2 as per STEP instructions. Installed MO into the same folder location. Now I cannot open any of the programs like SKSE, BOSS, BUM, etc. from MO. I have verified that the file paths in the Binary fields are correct. I will try a reboot, but in the meantime, does anyone know if there's more I need to do?

Hey folks, I am unsure how I am supposed to use BUM. STEP provides the instructions on how to set it up within MO [spoiler=MO Instructions] Click the gears icon Gear MO.png. This opens the Modify Executables window.In the Title field, type BUM.For the Binary field, browse to your BUM installation and select the BOSS Userlist Manager.exe application.Click the Add button. This will add BUM to your executables list.Click OK. But I have the BOSS Userlist Manager Settings window open and have no idea what I am supposed to add in the fields. Basically, are there instructions on how to use BUM within a Core STEP install? Thanks.

Bump...can anyone help me with these two issues--- arranging mods by order downloaded and figuring out how to clear my mod directory of partially downloaded files that MO still thinks are downloading? Is there a clear downloads option? Thanks.

OK, good advice. What's the best way to determine if they are indeed the optimized textures?

Ahh ok. Thanks, uh, dude. :-) Thought it might be MO-related b/c I can download other files (and am doing so now) but not the MO 1.2.6

I keep getting "no servers are available" when I try to insall 1.2.6 of MO (or the 1.2.5>1.2.6 patch) Not sure what's going on.

Edit- maybe it is a MO issue. I can download other files from Nexus, just not 1.2.6 of MO

I'm unable to download anything, even manually. "No servers available."

Should I uninstall the mod then, and reinstall, after I have disabled SWF checking?

Yes, I did follow the DDS opt processes

I am not sure what those two mods are...I have just been following the core STEP isntall, and nothing else. So I assume that they are the DLCs? How can I be sure? I have the new 1.2.5 MO and they didn't appear in my mod name list until I installed 1.2.5 so maybe they are appearing as the result of new functionality in 1.2.5 of MO?
