HD Enhanced Terrain & Enhanced Distant Terrain

[blinghound]

Hello all!

 

While I was installing STEP using Mod Organizer, I noticed that Installing Enhanced Distant Terrain made HD Enhanced Terrain redundant - seeing as EDT overwrites the noise.dds file from HET. I also noticed SRO makes Skyrim HD Dungeons, Serious HD Landscape, and Serious HD Riften completely redundant (it overwrites literally every file from those mods).

 

Am I doing something wrong? Should the noise.dds be the only file in both of the distant terrain mods? What's the reason behind including both mods?

 

Thanks for any info!

 

(I apologize if this thread should have been posted in a different section, so move it if need be.)

HD Enhanced Terrain and Snow is used for the snow texture (worldmapoverlaysnow_n.dds) only. The noise texture is provided by Enhanced Distant Terrain. Neither mod is redundant.

 

I've merged the Skyrim HD files and the Serious HD files into one mod. I'll have to investigate this.

Ah-ha thank you, I think I'm aware of what happened :)

 

I just realized that HD Enhanced Terrain released an update AFTER the STEP 2.2.7 guide was put up, so I installed the wrong one! The correct file is listed under 'Old Files' on the nexus.

 

I also downloaded the Skyrim HD and Serious HD files separately from Nexus, so maybe that could explain it, but I had another check; Skyrim HD - Dungeons is completely overwritten by Skyrim Realistic Overhaul, and a couple files by Re-Defined Dungeons, Serious HD Landscape by SRO and Terrain Bump (mostly), and Serious HD Riften by SRO. Was I supposed to just use the Landscape textures from SRO?

 

Thanks again!

The full mods are supported at this time. I think most of the team merges the separate downloads into one folder for installation. I'll be checking into this with the next day or so. If certain parts are completely overwritten those parts will be excluded for the 2.2.8 release. No need to install redundant resources. :)

I had the same questions as blinghound. Maybe could add a note to 2.2.7 to use old version with included map snow so it's less confusing. I am using the separate map snow mod and have replaced EDT with HD distant terrain pro lush version after reading through several related threads. Also noticed the same with SRO overwrites, but Serious HD landscape is not made redundant for me, and I have ALL mods installed as per 2.2.7.
