Section 2F, Conflicting GFX

[Eskiath]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm kind of new to Step, and all the utilities involved, but I'm working my way through the guide. One section where I am now hesitant is 2F. To ensure that these files are overwritten, as they are supposed to be, should I be installing them manually, or through Wyre Bash, too? I guess I don't understand why they are listed separate when Wyre Bash changes the order of mods. Is that where I have to be careful, when running BOSS?

 

Thanks in advance. :happy:

The overwrites that will take place with that section are with textures and meshes, not with the esp/esm. Boss takes care of the order of those esp/esm for you, so they are in the correct order when Skyrim is started. The install of the mods is different from that order and if you are newer to modding this game, then we recommend installing each mod in the order listed with either Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer.

 

We call 2f conflicting graphics because the textures/meshes will be overwritten by mods lower on the list, and that is by design, but using a mod manager like Wrye bash makes it very easy to install everything and view what overwrites what.

 

Hope that helps.

It does. Thank you very much.

Okay. Marked as solved.
