STEP Instructions - XP32 Max Skele - FNIS - Dual Sheath Redux

[TechAngel85]

That's just normal Skyrim.

Are you saying that the mods are not being applied and that I'm viewing vanilla Skyrim?

[TechAngel85]

I'm saying that is just a vanilla issue and STEP doesn't cover it. I'm not sure if that's the snow shader or it's just the snow texture on those rocks, but they're always like that.

[batesman]

Thanks. Sometimes the solution to the problem is to correctly set one's expectations. :)

Is it normal for both DynDoLOD mod entries in MO to say "No valid game data"? The ESP appears to be loading fine...

[Greg]

Are you referring to DynDOLOD, DynDOLOD Patches, or DynDOLOD Resources? the main DynDOLOD file contains all the executables and should not be installed with Mod Organizer. DynDOLOD Patches and DynDoLOD Resources both contain an FOMOD installer.

The two in my screenshot below. I followed the DynDoLOD instructions exactly as they were on the 2.2.9.2 guide.

The two greyed out entries will be filled with the output from TexGen and DynDOLOD, respectively. If they're still greyed out after moving over the files simply close and reopen MO.

I'm starting to think you folks know everything! 

 

So...Hypothetically speaking...Let's say I wanted to change the quality of some of the mods I've installed from 1k to 2k. Would I have to start STEP from the beginning? Or could I update the textures, run the based patch, generate new LODs, and call it a day?

[Greg]

No, you can do it as you stated: update the textures, run the bashed path, generate new LODs and call it a day. If the updated mod does not contain an ESP or ESM, you can skip running the bashed patch.
