ILS w/Skyrim Unbound

[c0c0c0]

So, let's get this out of the way:  I know Skyrim Unbound is not part of STEP and is unsupported.

 

I'm running a fresh 2.2.9.1 STEP build, and I decided to to install Skyrim Unbound, the latest version.  Once I did that, i was unable to create a new character.  I just stayed on the loading screen and watched tool tips.  When I used ModManager to run the same mod on top of a fresh Skyrim install (Pre-Step), it loads.

 

Does anyone have any idea what part of STEP Unbound is conflicting with?  If it's something I can live without, I might be able to back it out.

 

I'm shooting for something like "You are not the Dragonborn" without the messy scripts and the abandonment.

It was DynDOLOD.  And not just the esp - the textures.  I'd love to hear theories on why that wouldn't be compatible with Skyrim Unbound.  Something to do with the initial loading screen?

 

That wasn't one of the ones I was prepared to live without.
