Trouble with Wyrebash and mods.

[waltonsghost]

I tried following the complete step guide, I am going to attempt it again. But the first time around, the recommended mods in the mod section were not compatable with eachother most of the time. I was getting alot of conflicts. The guide is pretty straightforward, but the section on wyrebash and organizing mods kind of confused me. Is there anything you guys can tell me that might make all of this "click"? I don't have time to mess with this every day, I'd like to get the basic concept down in order to start using mods without spending ALL my free time using trial and error. Theres got to be something that I am doing wrong...what are the most common mistakes newbs make on the step project when it comes to mod installation?

Anyone else have trouble with STEP at first?

STEP is not in conflict with itself. Some of the mods might overwrite over mods, but this is on purpose and will not mess up anything if you install those mods in the order listed.

 

I'd say the biggest thing that people new to Wrye Bash do incorrectly is to install one mod at a time. Try to list your entire STEP install in the correct order then highlight all the mods and and install them.

Do i need to create bain batches for every mod like in this picture? https://wiki.step-project.com/File:WB_Figure8.jpg

 

Or can i just click the link and download the recommended mod from nexus and install as is? (after using a similar naming convention)

Ohhh... so I want to do a batch install? There are alot of things the guide seems to leave out. I was listing them all at once, but installing each individually in order to setup each mods settings.

A few things may be left out, but just remember to list them all in order and to read about using the complex BAIN (BAsh INstaller) packages, usually show up as white boxes in the installers. You don't need to change their names or anything like the picture, that's overkill unless you are really OCD.

 

You can setup a mod without installing it with WB, those are usually mods that are in the complex BAIN packages. If the mod is a white box with a wand then right click on the mod->choose Wizard, this will start an installer with options for installing the mod. At the end of the installer untick the install mod box and tick the apply changes box.
