=== Lighting & Weather ===
== Highlights ==
==== Interior Lighting ====
{{fc|instruction|''A new game is recommended but if continuing a {{#ifeq: {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}CurrentRelease#}} | {{ROOTPAGENAME}} | {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}PreviousRelease#}} | {{#ifeq: {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}DevelopmentRelease#}} | {{ROOTPAGENAME}} | {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}CurrentRelease#}} | {{ROOTPAGENAME}} }} }} playthrough, it's important to use the [[Guide:Troubleshooting#Clean_Savegame_Procedure|clean save procedure]] to ensure things will work as well as can be expected in {{ROOTPAGENAME}}. Always [[Guide:Mod_Organizer/Instances_vs_Profiles|create a new MO instance]] from the previous build, and upgrade the new instance. This preserves the {{#ifeq: {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}CurrentRelease#}} | {{ROOTPAGENAME}} | {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}PreviousRelease#}} | {{#ifeq: {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}DevelopmentRelease#}} | {{ROOTPAGENAME}} | {{#show:STEP:Main/GuideVersioning|?{{NAMESPACE}}CurrentRelease#}} | {{ROOTPAGENAME}} }} }} build if things don't work out.}}
Luminosity was replaced with Ambiance to return Step to a more vanilla-compliant lighting overhaul that no longer breaks sneaking to the extent that was evident under Luminosity. This will be most evident in interiors but will also help to lesser effect in exteriors. The result of this change is a look/feel that more closely resembles vanilla, making it a better fit our [[STEP:Mandate|Mandates]]. Combined with the rest of the lighting mods this achieves corrected lighting placements, more evident (and accurate) shadows, and a return to a more vanilla-like experience.
* To improve viability of any given guide release, a few 'Extenders' mods have been replaced by 'NG' versions. This decision was made for two reasons:
 
** The NG versions are based on a more progressive version of CommonLib that is more future proof to game updates. In short, they won't need updates as often.
Step alters Ambience with custom tweaks that slightly desaturate and warm the default lighting color, which will hopefully be appealing to those who like Luminosity. This may be a controversial change, since some people love Luminosity. We apologize for using that mod in the first place, but it was the best solution available until Ambiance came along ... 2 years ago ... oops, we missed that one!
** The original non-NG versions tend not to be updated until many months after game updates, and we just don't want to wait if it isn't necessary.
 
* Immersive Sounds - Compendium with AOS patches and extensions have been added to complement AOS and comprehensively enrich the soundscape.
==== Weather ====
* Several other game-enhancing mods have been added (see below for details).
Cathedral Weathers' foggy weathers were also customized to make fogs a bit more realistic and to bring them closer to the player while minimizing drawbacks of doing so under Skyrim's limited lighting flexibility. The opposite was done for rainy weathers where fog was a bit overdone in some variants. A few other weathers were subtly tweaked. We think this improves weather variation and realism.
* Step is no longer recommending manual cleaning of Dawnguard.esm. The "quick auto clean" (QAC) procedure is all that's necessary.
* It is now recommended to set Particles to 7500 in SkyrimPrefs.ini ('Detail' section of the BethINI Setup).
* Step's DynDOLOD implementation now relies on [[{{NAMESPACE}}:DynDOLOD DLL NG|DynDOLOD DLL NG]] (and related scripts) rather than Papyrus. This allows use of some automated large-reference fixes now available via DynDOLOD processing.
* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes|WACCF]] is now a hard requirement of the Step SSE guide (as it had been prior to 2.1.0), because this mod essentially 'fixes' corresponding vanilla inconsistencies.
* Step will maintain support for [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Complete Crafting Overhaul Remastered|CCOR]], [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul|CACO]], and [[{{NAMESPACE}}:The Choice is Yours|TCIY]] as optional installs, since these mods do make some changes that align with but do not strictly adhere to the [[STEP:Mandate|Step Mandate]] or can present compatibility issues with using the Step SSE build as a foundation for a custom mod build.


=== Step ENB ===
=== Step ENB ===
The Step ENB has been significantly improved in terms of graphics quality and fixes. Aside from several tweaks and version iteration of the Step ENB posted to the nexus, a major revision of the ENB weather system was made to consolidate most previous weathers into groups that better reflect Cathedral Weathers Image Space and Weathers differentiation. The result is fewer weathers parsed in groups that require identical settings. The "fog-sphere" effect that produced a transition line around the player in certain weathers has been mitigated, and ENB now preserves Cathedral's look/feel whilst fixing some of it's minor shortcomings (e.g., flat distant mountains, transparent clouds, godray effects). Changes introduced by the '''''Cathedral Weathers Unofficial Update''''' optional plugin (see [[SkyrimSE:Cathedral_Weathers_and_Seasons/2.0.0|Cathedral ENB optional instructions]]) have also been accommodated by the [[SkyrimSE:Step_Patch_-_Post-Processing|Step Post-Processing Patch]] and should only be installed for ENB users.
* Support for 0.484 SSE ENB binary
* Disabled COMPLEXFIRELIGHTS per ENB Light recommendations
* Doubled COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS interior intensity settings to compensate for fixes to Whiterun interior lighting added by Relighting Skyrim
* Weather-specific adjustments to COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS
* Modified ENVIRONMENT settings for night to be slightly darker in some weathers
* Reduced brightness of clouds at night in cloudy weathers
* Improvements to snowy weathers
* Further optimization of water effects in all weathers
* Added missing weather (2E7AB - TESTCloudyRain), which seems to be used by the game

NOTE

Upgrading from 2.1.0? Review the 2.1.0 Post-Release Changes to ensure things are ready for the upgrade to 2.2.0. Then use this changelog to update the remainder of the build.

Post-Release Changes

Guide

  • Updated the guide heading with a Warning message detailing issues introduced with the latest game runtime (1.6.1170) and some advice. Follow that advice please.
  • Updated select mod instructions to better support the game runtime update 1.6.1170 (see next section)
  • Clarified some instructions on cleaning/restoring the vanilla masters
  • Removed redundancy from Profile Setup spoiler instructions
  • Moved instructions such that the ENB setup is now located with the ENBSeries mod instructions
  • Updated TexGen settings images to reflect proper Grass Direct/Ambient values without ENB
  • Added NSFW information to the Nomenclature and Instructions section at the top of the Guide
  • Added instructions to the Nomenclature and Instructions section for expanding spoilers and mod table rows
  • Reworked the MO Profile section to remove redundant instructions and MO-specific information. A link is now provided to learn more about MO Profiles

Mods

The following changes were implemented after game runtime update 1.6.1170.

The following changes were implemented prior to game runtime update 1.6.1130.

End of Post-Release Changes


Highlights

A new game is recommended but if continuing a 2.1.0 playthrough, it's important to use the clean save procedure to ensure things will work as well as can be expected in 2.2.0. Always create a new MO instance from the previous build, and upgrade the new instance. This preserves the 2.1.0 build if things don't work out.

  • To improve viability of any given guide release, a few 'Extenders' mods have been replaced by 'NG' versions. This decision was made for two reasons:
    • The NG versions are based on a more progressive version of CommonLib that is more future proof to game updates. In short, they won't need updates as often.
    • The original non-NG versions tend not to be updated until many months after game updates, and we just don't want to wait if it isn't necessary.
  • Immersive Sounds - Compendium with AOS patches and extensions have been added to complement AOS and comprehensively enrich the soundscape.
  • Several other game-enhancing mods have been added (see below for details).
  • Step is no longer recommending manual cleaning of Dawnguard.esm. The "quick auto clean" (QAC) procedure is all that's necessary.
  • It is now recommended to set Particles to 7500 in SkyrimPrefs.ini ('Detail' section of the BethINI Setup).
  • Step's DynDOLOD implementation now relies on DynDOLOD DLL NG (and related scripts) rather than Papyrus. This allows use of some automated large-reference fixes now available via DynDOLOD processing.
  • WACCF is now a hard requirement of the Step SSE guide (as it had been prior to 2.1.0), because this mod essentially 'fixes' corresponding vanilla inconsistencies.
  • Step will maintain support for CCOR, CACO, and TCIY as optional installs, since these mods do make some changes that align with but do not strictly adhere to the Step Mandate or can present compatibility issues with using the Step SSE build as a foundation for a custom mod build.

Step ENB

  • Support for 0.484 SSE ENB binary
  • Disabled COMPLEXFIRELIGHTS per ENB Light recommendations
  • Doubled COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS interior intensity settings to compensate for fixes to Whiterun interior lighting added by Relighting Skyrim
  • Weather-specific adjustments to COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS
  • Modified ENVIRONMENT settings for night to be slightly darker in some weathers
  • Reduced brightness of clouds at night in cloudy weathers
  • Improvements to snowy weathers
  • Further optimization of water effects in all weathers
  • Added missing weather (2E7AB - TESTCloudyRain), which seems to be used by the game

Guide-Level Changes

  • Removed manual cleaning instructions for Dawnguard.esm
  • Updated BethINI setup to include the iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes Papyrus tweak and an increase in iMaxParticles for those using ENB
  • Updated some of the DynDOLOD TexGen settings examples (these will never be the same for everyone, due in part to differences in hardware as well as personal preference)
  • Small modifications to the System Requirements
  • Updates to text/grammar throughout the guide and associated instructions for improved readability
