Subject: STEP v2.2.9.1 Released

Dear {member_id},

STEP v2.2.9.1 has been released! Navigate to https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/STEP:2.2.9.1 to view the guide and check out the changelog [ https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/Changelog/2.2.9.1 ] for details on how to update. Minor subversion 2.2.9.1 is an Incremental Mod Update for Interim Release #3. So while there are no drastic changes to the STEP Guide, we have again fine-tuned the STEP setup to bring you a fluid mod list to enhance the beauty and feel of Skyrim.

This version brings three major mod changes:
1. Skyrim Realistic Overhaul was removed for reasons noted in the changelog. That removal required a thorough revision of the STEP landscape. This has been largely led by TechAngel85, who has worked with authors from several mods to create the STEP Texture Compilation [ https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/STEP_Texture_Compilation ]. This has resulted in a STEP landscape shaped by Serious HD, aMidianBorn Landscapes, Langley's Textures Workshop, and Skyrim HD (now providing the majority of the landscape textures).
2. STEP has worked closely with well-known mod author, SparrowPrince, to create The Ruffled Feather mod compilation of all his work, which also has a helpful "Install for STEP" option that simplifies installation for STEP users.
3. DynDoLOD (by sheson), a dynamic LOD generator which greatly changes the distant detail of the Skyrim world, has been tested and configured for STEP.

STEP 2.3.0 Overview
Our v2.3.0 major release is a step closer with the 2.2.9.1 release. Version 2.3.0 will be our first fully-supported iteration of STEP with Packs (optional mod compilations that follow a specific theme and function). Packs do not necessarily adhere to the STEP Mandate, so this will be of interest to more advanced modders or those that want to expound and/or improve upon the vanilla Skyrim experience.

We cannot present too much detail for 2.3.0 at this time, since we are still in the plannin/development stages, but it will represent the next major evolution of STEP. What's more is that 2.3.0 will not abandon the ideology of the STEP Mandate or significantly change STEP so much as it will mark the beginning of the expansion of STEP beyond the vanilla Mandate. Thus, the next iteration will bring many more options in addition to the enhanced vanilla experience for which STEP has come to be known.

Regards,
STEP

-With this release STEP:Core is essentially finalized and quickly approaches our 2.3.0 goal. STEP:Extended has also undergone a thorough reanalysis in preparation for its separation into the official STEP Pack. This has led to several mods being dropped from Extended in accordance with the <a href=http://wiki.step-project.com/STEP:Mandate#STEP:Extended_.28aka:_the_STEP_Pack.29>STEP:Extended Mandate</a>. Many new mods improving the STEP experience have been added to both Core and Extended. View the changelog for complete details.
