First off, thank you for creating the STEP guide so thoroughly. However, even though I read the guide, I still have some questions. One thing of note before the questions: I have only modded one game, Morrowind, ever in my life. All I did for that was follow a guide (which was akin to STEP) which told me what to download from Nexus and in what order. There wasn't anything like BOSS, Mod Organizer (I'm using this, not NMM or Wyre) SKSE or TESV Edit. All the load order stuff was from the launcher, and all I did was unpack 7-zips and put the contents in the correct folder, always overwriting/replacing files when possible.
In terms of STEP, I am confident that I got SKSE working and can launch it through MO.
The questions/issues:
I am in the process of downloading mods through MO. The Ancient Nord Armor fix has an alert icon next to its download in MO and it says some information is missing and to "query info" again, but doing so fixes nothing. Is this an issue/does this mean the mod is not working?
I cannot see any of the mods MO says are installed in my Data folder. They are, however, in the downloads folder in MO as .7z, .rar, .7z.meta and .rar.meta (including the Nord Armor one) and unextracted in MO's mods folder. Do I extract/copy these into the Data folder to complete installation (I assumed that would have been done by MO when I hit install)?
How do I know when to use BOSS and TESV Edit? I know that the latter can fix issues found in BOSS, but should I just wait until all of the mods are installed? I am totally confused with load order as well. I know that this is done in BOSS, but do I wait for the end with this as well, and why is this done in BOSS?
Sorry if these seem like very basic questions, or have a very obvious answer to you; I am not used to juggling all these programs.
