STEP v2.2.7 has been released!  <a href=http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11>Download the file</a> and check out the <a href=http://wiki.step-project.com/Changelog/2.2.7>changelog</a> for details on how to update.

The next release of STEP, version 2.3.0, will be a major release that includes significant changes to the way STEP is currently being delivered. We will introduce "Core STEP" in the strictest sense, according to the <a href="http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:2.2.5#STEP_Mandate">STEP Mandate</a>. Although most of STEP adheres to the Mandate, there are some inconsistencies that we feel should be excluded from the base installation of STEP in order to maximize effect, whilst minimizing and simplifying the process of installing Core STEP. Additionally, to allow more options for our users, version 2.3.0 will be our first iteration of Core STEP with "Packs" (optional mod compilations that follow a specific theme and function). Packs do not necessarily adhere to the full STEP Mandate, so these will be of interest to more advanced modders and those that want to affect various types and degrees of change to the vanilla Skyrim experience.
With this release STEP:Core is nearly finalized. This was the first step to reaching our 2.3.0 goal. STEP:Extended also achieved some progress with many new mods added, a few moved to different sections and several being dropped entirely. View the changelog for complete details.


For the past year one of our veteran community contributors, Neovalen, has been working on integrating an extensive mod setup using advanced techniques and detailed installation guidelines. His project is called Skyrim Revisited (SR), and it uses almost all of the Core STEP mods plus many additional mods in order to yield his own version of a more balanced, realistic and immersive Skyrim experience than that of vanilla Skyrim. In a nutshell, Core STEP enhances, improves and corrects the vanilla experience of Skyrim for the PC, whilst SR additionally overhauls the game to provide the "SR experience," one man's unique vision of what Skyrim should be. SR can be thought of itself as an extensive "Pack," but v2.3.0 will be the launch of much more than this. The next release of STEP will mark the beginning of many parallel projects to "customize" Skyrim in a variety of ways using the testing and collaborative development infrastructure that we have built (and continue to develop) on the STEP Community web site.
The next few releases will focus on refinement of the two Guides; STEP:Core and STEP:Extended. By the next release, STEP:Core should be in its final stage and STEP:Extended should have further refinements in regards to mod selection and arrangement; as well as, incorporating some of the Skyrim Revisited's tweaks for mod cleaning and conflict resolution.


Core STEP will always be available for purists and modders that either do not want to change the style and gameplay of vanilla Skyrim or that lack the time, patience or technical aptitude required to extensively modify the game. However, STEP will begin evolving into an applied community-mod-integration environment using the Nexus and other modding communities as a source to produce STEP Packs, yielding many pre-constructed options and overhauls built to articulate with Core STEP for Skyrim. The project scope is still in an early stage of development, so we do not have an ETA for 2.3.0, but keep you eye on the project for updates.  
<strong>STEP 2.3.0 Overview</strong>
Our v2.3.0 major release is a step closer with the 2.2.7 release. Version 2.3.0 will be our first iteration of STEP with Packs (optional mod compilations that follow a specific theme and function). Packs do not necessarily adhere to the STEP Mandate, so this will be of interest to more advance modders or those that want to expound and/or improve upon the vanilla Skyrim experience.


We hope to see you there!<br>
One additional feature of this change will be the inclusion of many of Neovalen's methods and mods used in his project, Skyrim Revisited, which can be thought of itself as an extensive "Pack" of sorts. We cannot present too much detail for 2.3.0 at this time, since we are still in the planning and development stages, but it will represent the next major evolution of STEP. What's more is that 2.3.0 will not abandon the ideology of the STEP Mandate or significantly change STEP so much as it will mark the beginning of the expansion of STEP beyond the vanilla Mandate. Thus, the next iteration will bring many more options in addition to the enhanced vanilla experience for which STEP has come to be known.
Regards,
The STEP Team

Subject: STEP v2.2.7 Released

Dear {username},

STEP v2.2.7 has been released!  <a href=https://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/11>Download the file</a> and check out the <a href=https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/Changelog/2.2.7>changelog</a> for details on how to update.  

With this release STEP:Core is nearly finalized. This was the first step to reaching our 2.3.0 goal. STEP:Extended also achieved some progress with many new mods added, a few moved to different sections and several being dropped entirely. View the changelog for complete details.

The next few releases will focus on refinement of the two Guides; STEP:Core and STEP:Extended. By the next release, STEP:Core should be in its final stage and STEP:Extended should have further refinements in regards to mod selection and arrangement; as well as, incorporating some of the Skyrim Revisited's tweaks for mod cleaning and conflict resolution.

<strong>STEP 2.3.0 Overview</strong>
Our v2.3.0 major release is a step closer with the 2.2.7 release. Version 2.3.0 will be our first iteration of STEP with Packs (optional mod compilations that follow a specific theme and function). Packs do not necessarily adhere to the STEP Mandate, so this will be of interest to more advance modders or those that want to expound and/or improve upon the vanilla Skyrim experience.

One additional feature of this change will be the inclusion of many of Neovalen's methods and mods used in his project, Skyrim Revisited, which can be thought of itself as an extensive "Pack" of sorts. We cannot present too much detail for 2.3.0 at this time, since we are still in the planning and development stages, but it will represent the next major evolution of STEP. What's more is that 2.3.0 will not abandon the ideology of the STEP Mandate or significantly change STEP so much as it will mark the beginning of the expansion of STEP beyond the vanilla Mandate. Thus, the next iteration will bring many more options in addition to the enhanced vanilla experience for which STEP has come to be known.
