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.Done.
