ACCEPTED aMidianBorn Book of Silence (by CaBaL)

Thanks, not sure how I missed that. The nordic carved set in vanilla is brown I think? STEP wiki recommend black. Pretty minor thing.

 

From the elderscrolls wiki:

https://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Nordic_Carved_Armor

 

I think the black looks better personally, but the vanilla is brown.

 

I think the alternate version of drauger is so much better because IMO than the default replacer. The added hair and beards add so much, because it looks like you are killing dead nords instead of zombies. But it isn't as close to vanilla.

Thanks. I'll correct that!

It does look much cooler. Hey, even the Core definition can bend for Rule of Cool.

The wiki says for the Dragonborn DLC:

STEP recommends choose ''Custom'' install option and install all options as follows where there is more than one option:
* Nordic Carved Armor
** Black Fur

But the Black Fur is the default one so it should simply say:

Choose Install Cabal's Cut (default) option and install.

And while we are at it ARMORS should be ordered for easier setup like this:

STEP recommends choose Custom install option and install all options as follows where there is more than one option:
* Ebony
** Ebony - Black
* Eleven
** Eleven - Gold
* Glass
** Glass - Golden
* Hide and Studded
** Hide
* Iron and Banded
** Iron - Vanilla Cut
* Orcish
** Orcish
* Scaled
** Scaled
* Steel
** Steel
* Wolf
** Wolf - Grey Fur

It's ordered in the way the installer has it ordered (using MO) unless CaBaL has changed the order for some reason in the installer. If you're not using MO then things might be worded differently for the WB installer which is moot anyway because STEP is now officially designed around MO, not WB.

[Nolzi]

Oh, you are right, I installed most of my mods in MO with the alternative fomod installer and the ordering is different in that.

But the Dragonborn DLC change is still valid.

A new plugin has been released that has support for multiple texture variants. I'm not sure how well this fits into the STEP mandate, but it looks pretty cool.

From the wiki:

 

CREATURESThis is the piece that conflicts (and should overwrite) Bellyaches Creatures.   Dragon Priest   Dragon Priest   Draugr   Draugr

 

There are no such textures in Bellyaches Animal and Creature Pack.

[TechAngel85]

Not those textures specifically, but rather the Creatures Pack from BoS conflicts with Bellyaches.

STEP instructions in 2.2.9 state: "Now install the Content Addon using the Improved Closefaced Helmets ESP."  I installed the Content Addon but have no idea whether the install used the Closedfaced Helmets ESP.  Any help?  A bit confused by the wording on this one.

Yeah, it should be worded differently. There is a separate ESP in the files after you install the BoS. You have to manually move the contents of that folder to the top level so it overwrites the regular stuff. Right click the mod in the left pane choose view in explorer and then move the contents of the ICH folder to the top level and let it overwrite. That should be it.

Sorry really new at this.  Folder has meshes scripts and textures, and also the closedfaced folder. I'm guessing top level just means drop in the main Content Add on folder, or should I put it into one of the other folders?

 

Edit: figured it, just dropped it into the main folder.  Thanks for your help!

Yes, that is the correct way to do it. Welcome to STEP!!!

Is it worth it to optimize these mods using the DDSopt guide?
