So about a quarter the way through! - Has anyone written a brief on a good circle to run the main, DLC and all additional content this guide has in it in a way that meshes well with the story? My past play through I've just followed the main story and DLC in order; but this has so much more in it.

Thank you for the update! I was using the 2018 09 28 build and just starting it. While rechecking the little I've done so far I ran into a question on the groups editor. The previous version only had 1 green circle at the end. The new version also has Open Cities as a green circle. Since neither guide mentions editing Open Cities; I'm assuming the screenshot is wrong?

As an update for me.... I was able to enable ALL mods and all the extra ones that I wanted. A total of 280 mods (156 ESM/ESP). if..... I removed Serious HD Retexture Skyrim. I'm not sure why this one mod seems to cause an issue. I'll attempt a redownload later. Its odd since 2/3rds of the files are overwritten anyway. But, lots of testing back and forth and unchecking this fixes my infinite load screens in Solitude.

Thank you for the update! So.... SKSE released an update that includes a new command line. It checks for scripts and such in your save file for mods that are no longer there. It will then over time kill them. The author said it is not an instant fix, but you should see your save game size go down over time. This, is not directly related to my problem as I am working from a new save file each time I run the tests. My testing method is with the Alternate Start Mod, you spawn in a small cell and create your character. You can then choose to start a few different types of life (including the default helgen). I chose Imperial as it moves you to the Keep in Solitude. Then I can exit directly to the most problematic area (Solitude Outside). What I've done is a hybrid, disabled some of the new mods I wanted and disabled some of the STEP mods to get to a point where it works. What I am still encountering is at ~ 1 hour I will Freeze and/or Crash. With auto save every 2 minutes its not such a huge problem, and keeps me from playing for 10 hours without knowing it. But... I would still like to figure out a fix. Checking my RAM/VRAM, neither gets full at the time of the crash (8gb/3gb).

Hello! I'm wondering if there is some kind of limit on how many mods you can have.  I followed the recent release of S.T.E.P using the MO and have ~213 mods. Using only the S.T.E.P. plus an ENB (Real Vision) + KenMOD - Lockpick Pro, everything seems to work just fine.  I created a MO Profile with just S.T.E.P. and then copied it for my edits. I added several more mods and after adding a certain number the game will crash when loading an outdoor space such as in Solitude. I did some troubleshooting, thinking it was 1 mod causing problems, at it seems it is not related to a single mod.  Example: - Crashed Game - Disable Mod - Game is Fine - Enable that mod and disable (random) number of mods - Game is Fine - Enable another (random) mod - Game Crashes I say Random because sometimes disabling 1 mod allows 2-3 more to be added depending on the type, and other times to clear the crash I have to disable more than 1 mod. I've since gone through the S.T.E.P. and randomly selected ~20 mods and disabled them (the ones that seemed like they were meh or not that important to me like the lockpick/loading screens). I then enabled all the extra mods I had selected outside of S.T.E.P. No crashes. For reference, these are the additional mods: Character Creation / Other: Apachii including addon packs Ethereal Elven Overhaul Racest Cloaks of Skyrim Winter is Coming Show Race Menu Alternative Environment: Fantasy Music Overhaul Project Reality - Climates of Tamriel IMAGINATOR Realistic Lighting Overhaul Unique Region Names UNP/Armor: UNP Replacer Configuration Package TERA Armors / Leveled List Ashara Outfit Romantic Ashara Outfit Princess of the Woods Shredded Triss Armor Demon Hunter Armor Dragon Quest 3 Sage Outfit Paladin Armor by Hothtrooper44 Brokefoot UNP Mashup Compilation A Little Sexy Apparel Replacer Ultra Skimpy Armor by Nightasy Remodeled Armors UNP Version West Wind Combat Series Gameplay: Swift Potion Reborn Achieve That Alternate Start - Live Another Life Apocalypse Spell Package Consol Commands Console Commands and Item Codes Kace Auto Loot Unread Books Glow SkyRealisim - Simple Save System Follower: Cerwiden - SMART Healer and Alternate Appearance Convenient Horse Herding Vilja in Skyrim Extensible Follower Framework The mods that were disabled from step to get things working: mod_id,mod_installed_name,mod_version,file_installed_name 1037,"26 Moon Size Tweeks","3.0.0","26 moon size tweeks-1037-3.rar" 18855,"AIMP - Antz in my Pantz - Interactive Edition -","2.0.3","AIMP - Antz in my Pantz-18855-v2-03.rar" 10125,"Better Skill and Quest Books Names","2.1.0","Better Skill and Quest Books Names v2-1-10125-2-1.7z" 16887,"BLESSINGS - Altar Descriptions","1.0.0","BLESSINGS - Altar Descriptions-16887-V1.7z" 23807,"Breaking and Entering","1.0.2","Breaking and Entering v1-02-23807-1-02.7z" 9037,"ClamsDropPearls","1.0.0","ClamsDropPearls-9037-1-0.7z" 22522,"Female Vampires Have Fangs","0.1.0","Female Vampires Have Fangs-22522-0-1.7z" 13901,"Lockpick Inventory Remodel","1.0.0","Lockpick Inventory Remodel-13901.zip" 2845,"Lockpicking interface retex","1.2.0","without wings around keyhole-2845-1-2.rar" 21265,"Lore-Based Loading Screens","1.0.0","Lore-Based Loading Screens 1_0-21265-1-0.zip" 95,"Main Font Replacement","2.0.0","Fertigo Pro Font-95-2-0.rar" 7801,"Main Menu Spinning Skyrim Emblem","1.0.1","Main Menu Spinning Skyrim Emblem Average Speed-7801.7z" 3562,"More Interactive Items","1.33.0","More Interactive Items-3562-1-33.7z" 3693,"N-R HD Display Case","0.9.0a","Smudged Glass Version-3693.7z" 6172,"new children","2.0.0","children dirt skin-6172-2.rar" 7901,"No Menu and Loading Smoke","1.0.0","No smoke-7901-1-0.rar" 13202,"Non-Essential Killable Children","9.0.0","Non-Essential Killable Children -13202-9.rar" 12426,"Running with a bow 3rd person","1.0.0","Running with a bow 3rd person-12426-1-0.zip" 116,"Skyrim Sunglare V4","4.1.0","Skyrim sunglare V4_1 HD-116-4-1.rar" 6335,"Soul Gems Differ - Full and Empty","1.4.0","Soul Gems Differ - Fomod-6335.7z" 19107,"The 418th Step","1.2.0SN","The 418th Step 1_2 - Snow Version-19107-1-2SN.zip" 30026,"Windmills resized","1.1.0","windmills resized smaller version-30026-1-1.rar" Thank you in advance!
