Because of this we've decided to forego a hotfix and release a full-blown update, including a ton of new mods! Head over to the [url=https://stepmodifications.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=1280]STEP Community Boards[/url] to see what's changing and help out. [b]- 7 December[/b] Working on a STEP 2.2.0b hotfix to address some breakage caused by the latest TESV release. This will be a very minor update. Expect a slight change in our presentation format. Coming soon, but if you want a sneak peak check out [url=https://stepmodifications.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=1134]this thread[/url] for our working changelog. [b]- 1 November[/b] Previous scheduled releases have been scrapped. We have been working exclusively on the Wiki and Thunderbolt for a while now. When we get back to the STEP pdf it will likely be with a less is more attitude (less mods, less installation, higher quality). [b]- 24 September-[/b] This is a minor revision to the PDF that includes modifications to a very small number of STEP mods revealed by TESEdit to contain structural errors. See the PDF for details! [b]- 27 August -[/b] STEP v2.2.0 is out! A completely re-designed guide with over 90 mod changes from v2.1.1b, updated for Skyrim v1.7 and compatible with Dawnguard. Thank you everyone for for helping in this project, it couldn't happen without the amazing community we've built! [line] STEP is conceived as a device to help people explore complex modding (using many utilities and hundreds of mods together) and provide a base of knowledge and experience that will aid in becoming independent and informed modders able to create their own custom mod lists. The STEP mod list is merely a vehicle to get people started on that path by providing a stable and lore friendly base to expand from. [center][b][size=6]The STEP Mission[/size][/b][/center] [b]STEP is about enhancing vanilla Skyrim[/b] [list] [*]Texture replacements at minimized performance cost and true to vanilla Skyrim [*]Continuity of all in-game textures, reducing immersion-breaking variation in texture quality (i.e., comparable resolution and style across all armors, weapons, clutter, terrain, etc.). [*]Graphical mods (ESPs) including new content that "fits" vanilla Skyrim [*]Gameplay mods that improve the consistency and the intent of vanilla Skyrim [*]Interface mods which improve the menus and UI for the PC interface [*]Sound mods that enhance the intent of vanilla Skyrim [*]Fix mods that truly "fix" malfunctioning aspects of vanilla Skyrim [/list] [b]STEP is NOT about ...[/b] [list] [*]Content mods that conflict with vanilla Skyrim and/or TES lore [*]Mods that change the intent of vanilla Skyrim [*]Graphics mods that contrast with vanilla Skyrim in terms of appearance and practicality [*]Music replacement mods [*]Gameplay overhauls (unless they truly enhance the intent of vanilla Skyrim) [/list] [line] [center]Currently STEP is mostly focused on graphics, interface and polishing/refining the gameplay with bugfixes and small tweaks. STEP also does extensive reliability and compatibility testing and will be including optional gameplay packs in the future. If you have reached the point where you are able to do your own reliability and compatibility testing and are also interested in additional and deeper gameplay mods, check this out: [URL=https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23826][img]https://www.skyrimgems.com/images/gems_logo_600.png[/img][/URL][/center] [size=5][b][color=#FF0000]### SPECIAL CREDITS: ###[/color][/b][/size] Roogal for the darker PDF theme concept MontyMM for the guide's dragon logo and z929669 for the new STEP-brand logo Authors of mods recommended in STEP The core STEP Community for feedback, suggestions and input The STEP beta testers for their good humor ... & rigorous analyses The Nexus community Bethesda Softworks for Skyrim (and TES overall) The STEP Community administrators for establishing the STEP community & specifically ...
