(
Install this mod without any special configuration. It will be the simplest solution and all that is needed for most systems.
<hr>
Depending on the GFX dirvers and PC environment, another option is available that may alleviate certain issues on higher-end PCs without having to cap frame rate. Read on for details.
After completing the guide and loading into the game for the first time, if there are issues like the following and no tweaks that fix:
# Input lag
# Stuttering
# Missing cursor on alt+tab or other cursor issues
# Other miscellaneous GFX bugs
... try disabling this mod and using [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34705 SSE Dispay Teaks] instead.

Rather than following the relevant display settings exactly as described in the STEP Guides, [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/34705 SSE Dispay Teaks] was a much better option for [[User:Z929669/SystemSpecs|my system]]. I also have a monitor with 144 Hz refresh. Configuring my setup as follows (all else remaining true to STEP Guides' recommendations) fixed all of my glitches without capping my frame rates (indoor/outdoor FPS range with max textures and settings in all mods and config ~ 70-144):
'''Radeon Adrenalin''' software for Skyrim deviations (from default) as follows:
* '''Radeon Anti-Lag''' set to "''On''"
* '''Wait for Vertical Refresh''' (Radeon driver vsync) set to "''Off, unless application specifies''"
* '''AMD Freesync''' (analogous to Nvidia G-SYNC, but slightly inferior) set to "''AMD Optimized''"
... with '''BethINI''' deviations as follows:
* '''VSync''' (unticked)
* '''Lock Frame Rate''' (unticked)
... and '''SSEDisplayTweaks.ini''' deviations as follows:
* <code>SwapEffect=flip_sequential</code>
* <code>MaxFrameLatency=1</code>
* <code>MaximumRefreshRate=144</code> (or set to your monitor's refresh rate)
* <code>FramerateLimit=144</code> (or set to your monitor's refresh rate)

This mod is out of date for the current AOS v2 release, but the Deadly Spell Impact patch is still good for STEP Extended users '''NOT''' using the STEP Extended Patch. +
Download and install the '''Simple Auto Unequip Ammo''' from the '''''Old Files'''''.
The old version of the mod is used due to potential issues with the newer version and to retain the functionality that users are used to from the LE Guide. +
In the MCM settings for Auto Ammo Unequip, STEP recommends changing following settings:
*'''Follower Addon'''
**Default: unticked
**STEP: ticked
***This will add the mod's functionality to your followers as well. +
B
It is recommended to install BOSS directly to your Skyrim game directory instead of its default location at the top of your system drive, unless you are using an SSD on which you would rather conserve space. This allows [[Mod Organizer]] to automatically detect and add BOSS to your list of executables.
'''Mod Organizer users:'''
If you do not want to follow the above advice as to where to install BOSS, do the following in order to add BOSS to the list of executables:
#Click the ''gears'' icon [[File:gear MO.png]]. This opens the ''Modify Executables'' window.
#In the ''Title'' field, type ''BOSS''.
#For the ''Binary'' field, browse to your BOSS installation and select the ''BOSS GUI.exe'' application.
#Click the ''Add'' button. This will add BOSS to your executables list.
#Click OK.
Now each time you want to run BOSS, simply select it from the drop-down menu at top right and click ''Run.'' +
Since you must launch BOSS Userlist Manager (BUM) through Mod Organizer in order for it to recognize your mods, add BUM to the list of executables by doing the following:
#Click the ''gears'' icon [[File:gear MO.png]]. This opens the ''Modify Executables'' window.
#In the ''Title'' field, type ''BUM''.
#For the ''Binary'' field, browse to your BUM installation and select the ''BOSS Userlist Manager.exe'' application.
#Click the ''Add'' button. This will add BUM to your executables list.
#Click OK.
Now each time you want to run BUM, simply select it from the drop-down menu at top right and click ''Run.'' +

You must run [https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/LOOT LOOT] before creating the Bashed Patch. Please ensure that you have added the necessary [https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/LOOT/Meta_Rule_Instructions LOOT meta rules] from the following mod pages:
* [[SkyrimLE:Enhanced Lighting for ENB-LITE]]
* [[SkyrimLE:Relighting Skyrim]]
* [[SkyrimLE:Realistic Water Two]]
* [[SkyrimLE:Lepidoptera Of Skyrim]]
* [[SkyrimLE:Audio Overhaul for Skyrim]]
* [[SkyrimLE:The Choice is Yours]]
To create the Bashed Patch:
#Ensure all your plugins are active in Mod Organizer.
# Launch Wrye Bash via Mod Organizer.
# Right click on ''"<span class="">bashed patch, 0.esp</span>"'', and select <span class="hltx">[Rebuild Patch]</span>.
# At the ''Deactivate these mods...'' prompt, click <span class="hltx">[OK]</span>.
# Leave any boxes that are check as is, but ensure at least the following boxes are checked: ''"<span class="">Merge Patches</span>"'', ''"<span class="">Import Names</span>"'', ''"<span class="">Import Stats</span>"'', ''"<span class="">Tweak Settings</span>" (optional)'', and ''"<span class="">Leveled Lists</span>"''.
# (optional )Highlight ''"<span class="">Tweak Settings</span>"'', and tick the boxes next to ''"<span class="">Arrow: Speed</span>"'', ''"<span class="">Crime: Alarm Distance</span>"'', and ''"<span class="">Timescale</span>"''.
#* (Optional) Set ''"<span class="">Arrow: Speed</span>"'' to <span class="hltx">[1.4x]</span> (higher value = faster arrows)
#* <span class="">'''(STEP:Core Users only)'''</span> Right-click on ''"<span class="">Crime: Alarm Distance</span>"'' and select <span class="hltx">[1200]</span>
#* (Optional) Set ''"<span class="">Timescale</span>"'' to a value between <span class="hltx">[20]</span> and no less than <span class="hltx">[10]</span> (lower value = longer days in-game).
# Next click <span class="hltx">[Build Patch]</span> at the bottom of the window to construct the patch based on the current plugin list/order
# Once it's done choose to activate it and close WB.
# During the patching, WB disabled several mods. Only re-enable ''<span class="">WM Trap Fixes.esp</span>'' and ''<span class="">BetterQuestObjectives.esp</span>''.
Rebuild the Bashed Patch again <span class="">each time the plugin load list/order changes</span>. However, you will not need to do so after [[SkyrimLE:Dual Sheath Redux]], [[SkyrimLE:Better Shaped Weapons]], [[SkyrimLE:Fores New Idles in Skyrim]], or [[SkyrimLE:Dynamic Distant Objects LOD]]
After closing Wrye Bash and returning to MO, the ''"<span class="">bashed patch, 0.esp</span>"'' will be located in the ''"Overwrite"'' folder. <span class="">(If there is no patch in Overwrite, it is probably due to past use of Wrye Bash outside Mod Organizer, which would have placed the bashed patch in the real Skyrim data folder instead of in Overwrite [https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/4530-]).</span> A different Bashed Patch can be created for every MO profile, so it is advised to move the Bashed Patch and its data to a separate mod folder. Simply right click the ''"Overwrite"'' folder and select <span class="hltx">[Create Mod]</span>, then name it. Example is "''STEP Core Bashed Patch''". You will then need to check it to enable it. Each subsequent time you rebuild the patch, you must open Overwrite and drag the new files back to this mod.

''Better Planet Generation'' (BPG) greatly expands the biomes and diversity of planets. However, <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> also greatly alters terrain generation. Due to its terrain manipulation, there are a few things to be aware of before installing it:
# <span class="salmontx">Better Planet Generation ''cannot'' be used on saves where player bases and settlements already exist.</span>
#: Since <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> alters the terrain, player bases that exist ''before'' <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is installed risk being buried, floated, etc. A new game would be required.
# <span class="salmontx">Once installed, Better Planet Generation ''must'' remain for the duration of that save.</span>
#: Removing <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> and continuing to play will likely result in crashes, buried/floated bases, etc.
# <span class="redtx">There may be prolonged waiting periods between game updates and when Better Planet Generation updates to be compatible.</span>
#: This is a large aspect to consider because during these periods, games with <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> present may become unplayable. This depends on the severity of the issue(s) caused from a game update. It's not been uncommon for such periods to be months in length. However, the author is working towards making <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> more hardened against game updates.
#:* With that said, the question of ''why'' <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> would even be in the Guide is likely to come up. The answer to that is simple. What <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> brings to the game experience far outweighs these potential negatives for most long-time players. Once <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is experienced, the game feels barren without it.
#:* The best practice when <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is installed is to maintain two separate games/saves. One with <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> present and one without it. This will allow players to continue to play and use this Guide while <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is recovering from game updates.

''Better Planet Generation'' (BPG) is an excellent mod that greatly expands the biomes and diversity of planets. In its current state, however, Step can't in good conscious continue to support the full experience the mod can provide. This is mainly due to the fact the full mod is actually breaking the quests for scanning objects. Multiple users have reported this and the author has confirmed it's an issue that may not be able to be remedied.

<div class=mpheading>Configuration</div>
As with any mod with an INI configuration, Step recommends creating an 'empty' mod to contain a customizable configuration that will not be overwritten when the mod is updated. The INI file will not be generated until the game is launched, and it should appear in ''Overwrite''. Once that is done later in the guide, revisit this mod and complete the following if it will be customized:
# Click [[File:MOlistoptions.png|30px]] > ''Create empty mod'', and name it <code>(CONFIG) CoMAP</code>.
# Copy the entire SKSE/ path from the source mod into the new mod.
# Delete all content under <code>SKSE/Plugins/</code> except the INI file.
# Prioritize this configuration mod just after the source mod in MO such that the INI will override that of the source mod.
Make the following changes to the custom configuration file:
# Double-click the mod in the left pane to open Mod Information
# Select the INI file from the <span clss=hltx>[INI Files]</span> tab.
# Make the following changes according to preference:
<p class=mpcode>[Map]
bObscuredUndiscovered=0 ; Set to '1' if a Obscured Undiscovered Option other than "None" was chosen
fMarkerScale=0.75

For those unfamiliar with ENB, see the [[Guide:ENBSeries|ENBSeries guide]] for information about ENBSeries post processing. Otherwise, download and install ENB as follows:
<div class=mpheading>Install ENBSeries Binaries</div>
# Scroll to the bottom of the page
# Click on the link for the newest version available
# Scroll to the bottom of the page again, and click on [[File:Down1.gif|24px]] to download the archive
# Open the archive and open the '''WrapperVersion''' folder
# Extract '''''d3d11.dll''''', '''''d3dcompiler_46e.dll''''', and '''''enblocal.ini''''' into the root Skyrim Special Edition directory (e.g., <code>..Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\</code>)
# Close the archive, but leave the game directory open for tasks following ...
<div class=mpheading>Install the Step ENB</div>
Three versions of the Step ENB preset are available, depending on performance requirements:
* '''Heavy''' includes all of the significant effects and is recommended for systems that can withstand the performance cost of approx. 30-50 FPS in exteriors.
* '''Light''' includes some of the significant effects and all essentials but at slightly lower quality than Heavy. This is will cost approx. 20-40 FPS in exteriors.
*'''Milk Drinker''' includes only the essential effects and at the lowest quality, costing 15-30 FPS in exteriors.
# Download the '''''Step <abbr title="Skyrim Special Edition">SkyrimSE</abbr> ENB Preset''''' from the [https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/31054 Step <abbr title="Skyrim Special Edition">SkyrimSE</abbr> Nexus page]
# Open the archive and extract the contents (folder and INI) to the <abbr title="Skyrim Special Edition">SkyrimSE</abbr> root directory (e.g., <code>..Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition</code>)
# Close the archive and root directory
<span class=salmontx>'''''NOTE:''' The Step ENB comes with a recommended <code>enblocal.ini.STEP</code> file. To use this, simply delete the version that ships with ENBSeries, and strip '.STEP' from the file name of the Step version. This is optional and for use with any ENB. Generally, this file is maintained by the end user, but we provide it for convenience, since it has vsync and frame limiter options that should be disabled for Step Guide followers.''</span>
* To toggle ENB setting in game, type Shift + Enter.
* To toggle ENB on/off in game, type Shift + F12.
# Consider rerunning the [[SkyrimSE:2.2.0#Performance_Tuning|performance benchmark]] before continuing on.
#: <span class=salmontx>The shaders will be cached the first launch of the game after ENBSeries installation, so game load may take a minute or two.</span>
# If average frame rate from the new benchmark was below '''65''', consider using a more performance-friendly preset or disabling ENB entirely.
'''ENBoost is required!''' Due to Skyrim LE's 32-bit memory limit, ENBoost must be used by everyone.
The following instructions pertain only to ENBoost; the memory manager of ENBSeries. ''Do not install a full ENB Preset during the Step Guide setup!'' This can be done later, after the installation of the Guide is confirmed to be working.
<div class="mpheading">Install</div>
# Download and ''install'' the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 DirectX 9 Runtimes].
#: ''This is for good measure to prevent some commonly reported issues on the forums. Be sure to install it and not just extract it!''
# Visit [https://enbdev.com/download_mod_tesskyrim.htm ENBSeries website] to download the latest archive.
#: ''Do not use the Skyrim Nexus version of ENBoost due to incorrect settings for Step Guides.''
#* Click the link for the latest archive (usually the one on the top of the list)
# On the next page click the [[File:Down1.gif|link=]] button to download the archive.
# Open the archive and go to the "WrapperVersion" folder, then extract '''only''' the following files into the root Skyrim directory (do NOT copy into the 'Data' directory!):
#* ''d3d9.dll''
#* ''enbhost.exe''
#* ''enblocal.ini''
Alternatively, if the "WrapperVersion" does not function as advertised, try the "InjectorVersion". Remove any existing remnants of the Wrapper version, and extract only the ''enbhost.exe'', ''ENBInjector.exe'', ''enbinjector.ini'', ''enblocal.ini'', and ''enbseries.dll'' files from the "InjectorVersion" folder into <code>./skyrim/</code>. Users must run ''ENBInjector.exe'' before running the game for the injector version to work properly.
<div class="mpheading">Configure enblocal.ini</div>
The following are important changes that are either required or highly recommended. Advanced users see the [[Guide:ENBlocal_INI|detailed INI configuration settings]] for more information:

It is recommended to create a mod to store output files from FNIS by doing the following:
# Click on the [[File:MOlistoptions.png|30px]] button and select, <span class=hltx>[Create empty mod]</span>.
# Name it <code>Step SkryimSE - FNIS Output</code>.
# Open the Executables menu and choose <span class=hltx>[FNIS SE]</span>.
# Tick the ''Create files in mod instead of overwrite (*)'' checkmark and select ''Step SkryimSE - FNIS Output'' from the dropdown.
# Click <span class=hltx>[Apply]</span> and then <span class=hltx>[OK]</span>.
<div class="mpheading">Run FNIS</div>
FNIS needs to run in order to generate a new skeleton any time that animation/skeleton mods are added/changed. To do so:
# Ensure all plugins are ticked, and sorted with LOOT.
# Choose '''''FNIS SE''''' from the executables dropdown and click <span class=hltx>[Run]</span> to run it through Mod Organizer.
# In the ''Available Patches'' at the bottom of the window, tick the box adjacent to "SKELETON Arm Fix".
# Click the <span class=hltx>[Update FNIS Behavior]</span> button and wait for a message to appear in the window stating "''X animations for Y mods successfully included''".
# Click <span class=hltx>[Exit]</span>.
# Sort plugins with LOOT.

As with any mod with an INI configuration, Step recommends creating an 'empty' mod to contain a customizable configuration (INI or similar file) that will not be overwritten when the mod is updated. The INI file will not be generated until the game is launched, and it should appear in ''Overwrite''. Rather than moving the content into the original mod, create a custom mod to contain only the INI configuration file:
# Click [[File:MOlistoptions.png|30px]] > ''Create empty mod'', and name it <code>(CONFIG) Fuz Ro D-oh - Silent Voice</code>.
# Copy the entire SKSE/ folder from the source mod (or Overwrite) into the new mod.
# Delete all content under <code>SKSE/Plugins/</code> from the new mod (except the INI file if it exists).
# Prioritize this configuration mod just after the source mod in MO such that the INI will override that of the source mod.

# Select GQJ_DG_vampireamuletfix.esp
# Click left-pointing arrow to move it to "Optional ESPs" in left pane
This will remove the redundant plugin. +
