Question: About repatching all the time

[skeltcher]

I just finished my STEP Instalation.
Ive patched everything in the order it is in the guide, but after the DynDLOD the load order changed.

QUESTIONS:
•Do I have to patch everything again?
•If I want to install Frostfall for example, i remember some mods in the STEP guide had patches if using Frostfall, do i need to install those patches? And how the hell will i find out which mods have compatibility issue with it?
•Can i Install CBBE and ApachiHair?

You can install anything you want and finding out which mods you need patches for will simply be a time consuming hunt of going through all the mods. That's why it's a good idea to know the mods that you'll be adding on top of STEP so you can grab the patches as you see them (so yes, you need those patches for Frostfall).

 

You don't have to re-patch everything simply because your load order changed. Only certain mods will require you to redo all the patches.

 

You can install CBBE, UNP, etc. I would avoid ApachiHair. It's known to have some issues.

If i install CBBE, Hunterborn, Climates of Tamriel, Bandoliers, CLoaks of Skyrim and Winter is Coming and run Loot do i have to patch the Bashed Patch or something else?
And after i completed the STEP Guide the top of the Mountains in the background is flickering, i guess thats the name (Its kinda different textures overlaping one another in fast intervals)

I was able to reduce the flickering of snow on distant mountains by changing one of the INI parameters, as discussed in this thread.

 

When the mods you listed are installed and you have run LOOT then run Wrye Bash. You don't have to patch the bashed patch, just rerun the bashed patch generation step in Wrye Bash.

Okay thanks you both for the explanations!

One more thing:
When i use the mouse to rotate the camera it feels heavy. Its not freezing its just like heavy, it used to be smooth.
How can i improve it? Decreasing the Antialiasing?

"Heavy" meaning responsiveness?  Or laggy input?  FPS are down?  Have you tried to adjust mouse input settings in-game?

It was the hardware mouse cursor, it better now.

 

Another question: •Where should I place in the Left Pane (Priority) the mods which is not from STEP Core? Should I place them below the "STEP DynDOLOD Output"?

                           •And Alternate Start have any issues? You guys recommend it? (I used it many times before but never with STEP)
