another question. might as well use this post for my frustrations. where do I put the Optionals: Realistic Room Rental Enhanced Compatibility Patch by CJ2311/Neovalen for No Snow Under The Roof ? *edit: created a new folder in MO/mods and put the esp in there, then activated it in MO. this is probably correct, right?

great! thank you both very much :)

So I decided to be super extra careful this time around installing SRLE, sice the last 2 times I failed. and i do not want to go through failing again. so quite quickly in the guide I discovered an inconsistency. the image is attached: it says to put bethesda ESMs from Data folder to Vanilla cleaned esms, but in my data folder, there are only BSA files. it seems logical to me, that those cleaned files are in the overwrite folder (not tes5edit backups but overwrite). so which files do I now move, and where? also I have some questions, which I came up with during my previous tries: -revamped alchemy lab HD has been moved to this mod: www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/75380/? . since i've read here, that the author is busy with work, and he knows about the problem, does anyone have a suggestion what to do, or is it okay if i just leave it alone. those flasks don't really seem like a big deal to me. -i skipped the creation kit setting up, since i've read that if i do not do my own scripting, i do not need it. below Eyes of beauty it says: Problem: Wild worldspace edit, a commonly occuring problem with the Creation Kit. Loading any worldspace causes it to be marked as "edited". Solution: Delete the wild worldspace edit. do i still delete it? -i couldnt install add on 1 for FNIS through MO. found the data, but it said that it was probably installed incorectly, so i just clicked ignore. was that ok? (also, when i istall FNIS, do i add it to executables in MO, and run it every time i install a FNIS based mod or not, and do this at the end of the guide?) -realistic water two mod merge: it says Special instructions: Post merge rename the output file RealisticWaterTwo - Merged.esp to RealisticWaterTwo.esp to retain compatibility with patches.no idea what this means, or how to do it. I've read the author's reply to this somewhere on the forum (cant find it now). this is the only step i actually couldnt get through. can someone please explain to me (in detail) how to rename this? thanks! -

oh my god, you have no idea how happy I am to hear that! npc's really bring the game alive, and I would not imagine playing without them :D so you have all 3 npc mods? anything special I should know about them, besides the obvious compatibility patches (which sould be on the mod's page)?

thanks! so instead od STEP extended I would install Neovalen's and Darth Mathias's guides? they definitely seem a safer bet, since STEPex is missing a lot mods i'd like, and don't want to risk incompatibilities :)

I have been obsessively "casually" trying to mod Skyrim for years now, but never seemed to get it working properly. So I have no idea how I've not discovered STEP guide until now, but since I have, I want to finally mod Skyrim to perfection. I'm very frustrated that it never worked until now, and I don't want to screw everything up again, since I've done the modding skyrim process about 6312 times now. And many days at a time, until I've given up Skyrim altogether. This is why I've decided to ask here about some mods I'd like in the game, and any general advice you can give me with installing them - in terms of patches and compatibility. I plan to go STEP extended (all the mods listed in the main guide). And since it is too frustrating to make a little mistake and break your game, I beg for your advice regarding these mods, which seem to me the most risky: -helgen reborn https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/35841/? -ultimate combat https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36006/? -warzones https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9494/? -perkus maximus https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/59849/? -better fast travel https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15508/? -interesting npcs - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/8429/? -inconsequential npcs - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/36334/? -the people of skyrim - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/72449/? -expanded towns and cities - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13608/? -apocalypse magic - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16225/? -UFO - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14037/? -climates of tamriel - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/17802/? -immersive creatures - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24913/?
