Good stuff. I was checking out SLRE and liked much of what I saw, but there's a lot of stuff I'm not as enthusiastic for. So my follow up question, If I download only certain mods, install them in the same order as the packs recommend, and install relevant patches, will I be okay? Or will my game explode?

Lucky for me, its been a slow day. I noticed some guides showing general practice for installing non-STEP mods. Additionally, I figure I can use the SRLE pack as a framework and install the mods I want (or close analogs). If anyone would still be interested in a slightly more OP pack than normal, I could always post my mod list then. Having a few extra testers to iron out conflicts would certainly be helpful :)

So, I'm new to the STEP process, but not necessarily new to modding Skyrim. I've followed the STEP:Extended process and succesfully tested it (benchmarked at an average of 59.2 fps), and I will be installing the Realvision ENB tonight. I want to add a few mods (not necessarily in the following order) that I find enjoyable, but that I haven't seen in the listed Packs (or at least, not together): -SPERG -Uncapped Perks -Pumping Iron -Dance of Death -Campfire -Equipping Overhaul -Get Snowy -Apocalypse -Immersive Weapons -Immersive Patrols -Better Vampires -Royal Bloodlines -Realistic Needs -Dynamic Things -Imperial Legion Armor Variety -Stormcloak Armor Variety -Civil War Overhaul -Cloaks of Skyrim -Winter is Coming -Run for your lives -Skyrim Immersive Creatures -Organized Bandits (OBIS) -Helgen Reborn I assume the first step is to Copy the STEP:Extended profile (MO) and create a new profile which I'd name Demigod (the thinking is that the perk/skill extensions in SPERG, better vampires, and Uncapped Perks, coupled with the added combat and training opportunities would allow your character to become pretty nasty relatively quickly). . So here's where I need some help. Once the core is copied and the ENB is stable and tested. My thinking is that I: -install the above mods -Run LOOT -Follow the Wyre Bash instructions to patch the new leveling lists etc -FNIS -Rerun Dynamic LOD -Profit? Is there a method that i can tell which core mods need reinstalling? Is there a step I'm missing? Do I install one at a time (and do the whole above process each time), do groups (4 at a time, then run process), or the whole sha-bang? Finally, is there a method over installing order I should know about to reduce conflicts? (e.g. if immersive creatures overwrites the new meshes from the STEP:EX install) Caveats: Sorry if there is a similar topic to this, I'm at work and not exactly in the position to do a thorough search. To those that want to pass judgement on the content of my mod selection: I don't care what you think. Real life has plenty challenge for me, I want my own personal world where I don't need to be stressed.
