TechAngel85 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Can anyone grab a 30 sec to 1 min clip of before and after and post to youtube? FRAPS is good for quick captures. If the quick clip warrants further investigation then I'll try to put together a quick compare video. (Still working on my water mod compare vid in my spare time).
CptJesus Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Unless I'm missing something, it appears the SMIM Compatible Meshes is no longer available.

CptJesus Posted May 25, 2013 Posted May 25, 2013 Cool cool, just pointing it out since the STEP guide still recommends you install that.
RacsoReast Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Hi guys, I was just wondering if you knew if the SMIM overwrite of the HD fire effect doesn't have any significant value, since fire effects it not listed before SMIM in the STEP guide. Because on the SMIM nexus site the author recommends installing the fire effects before SMIM.
RacsoReast Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Since you guys do such a great job on responding to our questions, I would like to hear your opinion on my above post^ :)
DoubleYou Posted April 15, 2014 Posted April 15, 2014 Hmmm... I just realized I prefer vanilla to this mod (of all the nerve!). I think I might check out Cinematic Fire Effects...
Member121 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I am currently installing STEP 2.2.9 STEP recommends Ultimate HD Fire Effects - Meduim Resolution and the Ulitmate HD Candle Flames files. I chose "Ultra Version" of the HD Fire Effects mod instead. When I try to install the HD Candles file (via MO) a warning pops up... This mod seems to be installed already. Do you want to add files from this archive (overwriting exsisting ones) or do you want to completely replace the exsisting files (old files are deleted)? Alternatively you can install this mod under a different name. Click > Merge-Replace-Rename-Cancel What do I do?
TechAngel85 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 This happens when you install two mods with the same name. You can either rename it and load it after or choose merge which will simply place the new files inside the same folders that already exists.
Member121 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Rename the file. There's a drop down menu and I chose Ultimate HD Candle Flames. Everything looks good. Thank you.
GrantSP Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 As mentioned by a user above, when installing the optional 'candle flame' mod, MO will ask whether to merge or not. The easiest thing to do is just add to the guide and the wiki that merging is preferred.
GrantSP Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 As mentioned in my general topic, I feel this is not the approach needed for a large guided install that is often taken by newer users.By all means we can explain that either choice is allowed but what is wrong with making a choice ourselves and letting users that can't make it use that? We have the experience to see that there is a choice and either is fine. Some users will be doing the install and be confounded by this step when all that is needed is for "a choice" to be made for them.It's not like I'm asking for a complete re-write of the guide, just a small addition.

Learning to use MO and it's functions is part of the process and we all had to do. That's why we have the MO manual on the wiki. We want to teach users rather than just tell them what do it. This has always been the stance of STEP. The Guide is 100x easier to use than it was when it was just a PDF! I've actually not seen this issue crop up in a long time. We should be linking to documentation during our support so the user knows it's there and learns on their own.
