1. Install & Utilities
The STEP Solution
One can spend hundreds of hours just searching for mods before actually getting down to the business of installing them. As mods increase in number and complexity and mod creators produce more and more mods that alter game play, interface and settings, the probability of game-crashing conflicts increases. The STEP project takes care of the heavy lifting associated with sifting through thousands of mods and selecting the ones that significantly enhance and improve the vanilla experience without detracting from it with as little cost as possible in terms of performance. Users are able to follow detailed, step-by-STEP manual-installation instructions and be confident that all components have been individually tested by the community and the results verified. STEP also facilitates customization by providing details of changes affected by each mod so that the user can choose to omit or change the order of STEP’s’. This cuts down on a vast amount of time and headache dealing with sampling, testing and troubleshooting.
