Still confused about STEP:Extended

[brandywine]

Hi STEP community,

 

Firstly I'd like to say THANK YOU to this amazing community for this excellent guide and all the hard work that has been done. When I first started modding I promptly broke my game and got demoralized. I'm so glad to be getting back on the right track.

 

My question is regarding STEP:Extended. I think I was a little confused initially when I started installing STEP:Core. I've been installing the extended mods alongside the Core mods in the order they are listed in the guide. Then I read something that said that STEP:Extended should be installed only AFTER Step:Core is fully installed. I'm in the middle of 2.F. Conflicting Graphics.

 

My questions:

- Should I stop installing extended mods as I go through the guide?

- Do I need to uninstall the extended mods I've already installed?

 

Thank you very much!

Hopefully you are using MO, so you can disable instead of NMM-style uninstalling   That being said, the mods tagged Extended are good, stable mods so no worries there. The Extended set go beyond the Core mandate of fixing/enhancing vanilla Skyrim, the Packs go farther still. Were I you I'd install all STEP Core & Extended, see how it plays and what you like and make decisions from there (as you can always uncheck a mod in MO if it doesn't suit you for whatever reason).

Thank you so much for your help! I am using MO, so I think I am good to go. Thanks again!!

You don't have to install extended after core is complete : you follow the steps in the order given and can include extended every time needed.
