xxx78 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks again guys for explaining I need to find what approach to take, then I will be back with more questions
Muladhara86 Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I have profiles for STEP: Core, SR:LE, and CORE+SRLE. They all work great. I had to be a selective about which mods from CORE I wanted to include. They fall into 3 different categories: No Conflicts, No ESPs Bowlegged Jump Animation FixBrawl Bugs PatchFuz Ro D'ohSkill Interface RetextureHQ Snow Textures Realistic MushroomsWhiterun Trellis RedesignedFemale Vampires Have FangsFrost Atronach HD RetexImproved Foot Wraps for FemalesNew ChildrenNot Really HD Mask of Clavicus VileUltimate HD TorchEnchantment Effect ReplacerNoMaam Breathing IdlesRunning with a Bow 3rd PersonSmaller Ice Spike & Ice SpearSkyrim Performance PlusBetter ShadowmarksDark Brotherhood Tenents RestoredHD Baskets RetexHD LinensHD Sacks RetextureHQ PaperNot Really HD Display CaseNot Really HD KeysRealistic InstrumentsSilly Level of Detail - Potions and PoisonsSilly Level of Detail - Wine CellarSkyrim RedesignedSuper Realistic Ore TexturesSweet MotherBetter Animal FootstepsBetter Horse Pain SoundsBetter Weapon Swing SoundsLower Sounding Thieves Guild DoorRealistic Wolf HowlsThundering ShoutsUltra Realistic Bow Shoot SoundsUltra Realistic Crossbow Shoot Sounds ESPs, No Overwritten Files w/ SRLEAppropriately Attired JarlsConsistent Older PeopleDead Body Collision FixFast Travel Timescale FixLore-Based Loading ScreensLoadscreen ExtensionsHearthfire Chimneys for SkyrimLanterns of SkyrimDistant Detail Hearthfire EditionSkyrim Improved PuddlesBirds & FlocksElemental StaftsAnimated Weapon EnchantsDawnguard Rune Weapons FXS ReplacerImproved Weapon Impact EffectsThe 418th StepRadiant & Unique Potions & PoisonsSoul Gems DifferDragons Shout with VoiceIHSS - Improved Horse Step SoundsImmersive Skyrim ThunderImproved Combat SoundsSmooth Blades Draw & SheathCome Together & Out of the Way No ESPs, Unintentionally Overriden by SRLE FilesRuins Clutter Improved has 33 non-conflicted filesTobes Highres Textures has 22; 38 if loaded after SMIM like in COREHigh Quality Food & Ingredients has 51; 53 if loaded after SFOHD Misc has 2aMidianBorn Caves & Mines has 10aMidianBorn Farmhouse has 10aMidianBorn Whiterun has 39; 45 if loaded after SMIM and SFODragon Glyphs HD has only 1HiRes Legible Road Signs has 13Hybrids HD Plants & Herbs Retexture has 15; 24 if loaded after SFOReal Wood Textures - Farmhouses has 4Re-Defined Dungeons WIP has 4Terrain Bump has 3; 4 if loaded after SFOTrees HD has 7; 21 if loaded after SFOVisible Windows has 5; 8 if loaded after Vivid LandscapesBellyache's Animal & Creature Pack has 20; 22 if loaded after SMIMBellyache's HD Dragon Replacer Pack has 11Better Beast Races has 27Better Circlets has 20Skyrim Weapon De-Larp-ification has 33Greatsword Sheaths and Scabbards Redux has 20Better Turn Animation has 35Better Bones has 9; 11 if loaded after Book of SilenceDeatailed Rugs has 18HD Ore & Ingots has 11 This list isn't complete. I didn't install a lot of SRLE cosmetic mods and stuck with XCE & XCE DG. There are a few others I didn't install. With all the interest in being able to install SRLE over a CORE setup, it might be helpful to know why these mods weren't included. Edited January 9, 2015 by Muladhara86 1
maedrhos Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I've tried both. S.T.E.P is good in that it is stable, lore friendly and well supported. SR:LE is wonderful in that it is also stable, reasonably lore friendly with even better support. It is also Neovalen's vision of what Skyrim should be and he treats it as an opus. It is more realistic and immersive than S.T.E.P., still lore friendly and sexier in the way of Robert Howard's original Conan stories and Boris Fallejo's art. I highly recommend SR:LE over S.T.E.P. and you will not sleep soundly until you've tried it. Edited January 7, 2015 by maedrhos
maedrhos Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Hi guys I have some similar questions so I hope it is ok to post it here. I have finished install Core + Extended but now I wonder if I should install SR:LE instead, I just have a few questions before I decide.What mods in SR:LE can make it difficult to install more mods on top of SR:LE?Is there some categories of mods that would be easier to install on top of SR:LE than others?Is it possible to take out mods I dont like from SR:LE? [spoiler=Just as an example, here is a few of the mods I would like to install on top of SR:LE if possible.]More treasure mapsSunken TreasuresMoonpath to ElsweyrInteresting NPCsPopulated Forts Towers Places (by RS)WAO - Weather and Ambience Overhaul MegapatchAgent of Righteous MightThe Elder Scrolls Quest SeriesImmersive PatrolsHunterbornFences of SkyrimWorld Map - Skyrim Hold BordersFishing In SkyrimPumping Iron - Dynamic Muscle GrowthAthletics Training - with MCMScarcity - Less Loot ModLoot and DegradationAchieve ThatFire and Ice Overhaul Appreciate any replies :)cheersI use SR:LE with some of the mods you recommend: Hunterborn, Interesting NPCs, and Fishing in Skyrim. Some of the others I tried and dropped simply because of the 255 .esp limit on the game. I wouldn't be afraid to try them if you don't mind modding and I've spent more time modding this past year than playing the game. The difficulty is that Neovalen makes you a ready made Conflict Resolution Patch for his setup. This is a huge time saver and makes the game stable. The more you deviate from his setup the more time you will need to spend learning techniques to resolve conflict resolution rather than playing the game.
Zegorzalek Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) ...spending more time modding (learning modding) than playing... sounds hauntingly familiar... I am on my 3rd install here... what started as a "I would like to mod this house a bit" has turned into a full college course on modding, TesEdit, swapping from NMM to MO, installing STEP CORE... geez shirley Thanks for the discussion all. Looks like I am going to take a close look at the mod lineup and begin another profile install... I originally started with SRLE and then thought... snot... need CORE installed to build on... should have just run with SRLE. Should be worth it though... and probably won't take as long as I learned a lot in the CORE install. Edited February 7, 2015 by Zegorzalek
onem4nb4nd Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Yeah I'd have to agree with a lot of the points made here. My only gripe is that I just recently finished the Step:Extended guide and was tinkering with different ENBs when I stumbled across the SR:LE guide. Now, here I am, back at it.... I had a stable game, running the Extended mod list, and I even started on my legitimate playthrough when I caught wind of this Legendary guide. Now, I have to feed my addiction all over again! :confused: I must have the **Perfect** game files to play! I'm sure I'm not the only one. So, I'm wondering, where was the clue hiding, of a SR:LE guide, while I was working through my step guide?? I even glanced at the Pack list at the end of the step guide to see if anything intrigued me that I'd have to make room for. No news of SR:LE there!

She may be right.
ShadowWhisper Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) I've found a few things...some might call them errors or ommissions...wrong with SR:LE First is there were several mods where "Do not install xxxxx.esp" was marked as part of the install instructions. When I followed this and check in MO, often the BSA files were not loaded (checked) - may want to add instructions to either manually check them or (if no scripts, etc., are included) to unpack and hide the BSAs to take a loose files approach to those particular mods.The Ruffled Feather mod includes WATER and is replaced/overwritten later by RW2. Has this been tested for conflicts?Also with Ruffled Feather, might want to advise that the user look at all the mods included and cherry-pick if desired. I know some of the mods included in his collection were 'voted off the island' in my mod-outs for various reasons.Also, IIRC, Community Uncapper has to be manually edited to taste to work right instead of working just out of the box. I could be wrong on this.Lastly, are the body mods suggested in SR:LE SFW or NSFW? Folks like me (who have small kids that may watch them play) might appreciate a small note regarding that and/or a SFW option. I know from experience that Skyrim bodies are damned hard to find SFW versions of at times unless you're a fan of Vanilla+ :(Didn't write this to gripe/complain. Just playing devil's advocate for people new to Skyrim modding who blindly follow STEP guides for their ease of use. :) Writing a guide for TTW myself, so I know how much hard wortk it is and was following SR:LE to do a nice mod-out of Skyrim for my 'between wiki work breaks'.

Core Project 2.2.9 page ... rather than SR:LE) Edit: I picked ONE option that mentioned "STEP" in The Ruffled Feather, for now. Edited February 25, 2015 by CloakedBreton

BSAs should always be auto extracted if following SR:LE instructions.2. The Ruffled Feather install instructions are clear on which portions to install and it does NOT include WATER.3. Community Uncapper works out of the box by uncapping max skill levels to iirc 150 or so. No manual editing required unless that is your desire.4. The specified options are nfsw but imo it is fairly obvious when the installer prompts SFW or NSFW version... similarly when the mod page says nudes instead of underwear. Common sense required. Hope this helps.

Dillard Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 So, i know this is maybe not the perfect place for this question, but i really would like to know what the different ambitions are behind Skyrim Revisited (SR) and Skyrim Revisited - Legendary Edition (SR-LE)?I'm sure this was discussed already somewhere but i couldnt find it, sorry :(The thing is at first I thought: "of course, the only difference is that SR-LE is like an updated Version of SR"But when I looke a little closer, i saw that not even half of the Mods were the same in these two guides. even if they (almost) built on the same foundation.It seems to me that SR has more Mods in common with STEP whereas SR-LE just uses the same base setup but then chooses quite different options.I'm following the SR-LE (and after 4 days have reached point 4.4.2, Yaay!) because, duh, i recently decided to get me the legendary edition after almost 2 years not playing Skyrim at all.But there are some mods on the SR-Guide that also look interesting and I didn't find any clues as on why they have been kept out of the SR-LE Guide. If somebody could clear things up for me (or smack me with a link to the post where this was already discussed) I would be extremely grateful!
kylhwch Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I'm curious about Dillard's question, too. What is the difference between Skyrim Revisited and Skyrim Revisited - Legendary? Why might one choose one or the other?
Nozzer66 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Aside from the fact that one covers the non Legendary as in base Skyrim and one covers the Legendary as in all DLC's version? 1
kylhwch Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Nozzer66, that's what I thought at first, too, but the Skyrim Revisted page lists all three dlc and the HD files from Beth as prereqs -https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Skyrim_Revisited#Prerequisites In fact the prerequisite section for both versions is the same except that Legendary has a better gpu. That said, I'm sure it will turn out to be something obvious that I'm missing. :)
