• AOF Farmhouses - Other texture mods have replaced this mod in STEP.
• Better Dynamic Snow - Has lighting issues at a distance, trading an error for another error.

Guide Changes

Section 1.F.1 Skyrim INI

• Removed the [camera] tweaks, since they represent a play-style preference ... we may add back to the guide in the future as an optional
• Removed the [interface] book tweaks, because it was not clear that they had any effect and may have caused issues for some users.
• Removed [general] iLargeIntRefCount tweak, as it may have been causing problems for some. Until more research confirms behavior, the default settings are preferable.

Section 1.F.2 SkyrimPrefs INI

• Removed [display] ShadowmapResolution tweaks, due to high-performance requirement - this will likely be added back with more description and options later.
• Removed [display] iMaxDecalsPerFrame tweak, since it may have been causing problems for some. More research needed and more options likely will be provided later.

The core STEP team is:

• Revised the list of core team members. Mentioning only active administrators and moderators at this time.
• Commented Donations template. Not enough people were claiming contributions, so the information was unfairly limited to a small number of people who contributed many months ago or more.
