This creates a stable STEP foundation. Multiple optional "STEP packs" designed with specific themes, for example a "Hardcore pack" can easily be added to this base. A pack will be a set of mods selected to work together and with STEP to achieve a specific goal (in some cases possibly following less strict guidelines than those listed above).
STEP will remain a template, a base for a more complex modded Skyrim, or a safe and complete experience itself.
