Guide Changes

STEP:Core

• Trees/LOD Install order - Skyrim Realistic Overhaul < Distant Terrain & Tree LOD < Skyrim Flora Overhaul - Basic + Recolored Trees & LODs < Trees HD - REMOVE Vurts!
• Realistic Smoke & Embers < Ultimate HD Fire Effects < Static Mesh Improvement Mod (i.e., move to sec F) Done.
  
• Add Detailed Chests back into core overwriting all conflicts (i.e., move to sec K) Done.
• Propose removal of Better Dynamic Snow, since it basically ruins almost all associated LODs (makes them look like cartoons). The mod fixes the snow on a few structures when close up, but it destroys the LODs, effectively trading a fix for another error.

• Unique Region Names
  • Causes to many conflicts without extensively patching in TES5Edit.
• Birds of Skyrim
  • Dropped due to collision with ground birds that don't move or fly away; thus, forcing the PC to walk around them.
• Ambient Seagulls
  • Adds seagull sounds where no seagulls are present. Now covered by Sounds of Skyrim.
• More Village Animals
  • Causes too many conflicts and issues of misplaced animals, among others.
