Core STEP
Skyrim was originally created for the console, and while Bethesda has released official texture packs and patches to correct for the PC platform, they missed a great deal.

- ... HD asset replacements in the style of vanilla Skyrim.
- ... improvements to existing content that increases the consistency of vanilla Skyrim.
- ... new content that is indisputably missing from vanilla Skyrim.
