Thanks Akatosh. Looks like a fairly comprehensive guide. Is there any advantage of one over the other?

I was happy to see a new version of STEP. I played a few years ago using this mod. I downloaded and installed Skyrim Special Edition - but it's not clear if I should even be using this version. The mods downloaded from nexus don't even want to download unless i have the "non-special edition" installed. Should I go and uninstall Skyrim Special Edition and download the old version? It's seems strange that only the only version is installed, as I imagined most PC users would have the Special Edition already

I'm so sorry.... a few more minutes of searching and I wouldn't have needed this thread. I've set up my SKSE.ini file now with DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=1024 (although it seems to limit itself to 768). I guess while I'm here, given that I have excessive amounts of memory, are there any other memory tweaks I should be setting in secret-squirrel-ini files etc?

Hi all, I've spent a weekend installing Skyrim and all the steps for STEP Extended. I've also applied an ENB and a couple of other seemingly harmless mods. Anyways, the game crashes when casting a spell, and I have a lot of trouble loading my save games. Extremely frustrating. I was about to give up on this game again - but I found this thread: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/632420-casting-causes-ctd/ Sounds like what I'm having. I installed MemoryBlocksLog and found that I'm hitting 256 when the game crashes. What do I do now to increase this memory limit. I have Windows 10, 16GB RAM, and a 6GB graphics card.
