Core STEP
Skyrim was originally created for the console, and while Bethesda has released official texture packs and patches to correct for the PC platform, they missed a great deal. Core STEP comprehensively enhances vanilla Skyrim for the PC in order to properly finish what Bethesda attempted. Specifically, ...
Core STEP is about ...
- ... bug fixes and corrections to malfunctioning aspects of vanilla Skyrim.
- ... HD asset replacements in the style of vanilla Skyrim.
- ... improvements to existing content that increases the consistency of vanilla Skyrim.
- ... new content that is indisputably missing from vanilla Skyrim.
- ... interface mods that improve the menus and UI for the PC.
Core STEP can be defined as a comprehensive assemblage of game modifications that are 100% consistent with the above bullets. This will maximize the stability of a core "fix" whilst minimizing the possibility of conflicts. Another way to think of Core STEP is that it simply takes the Unofficial Skyrim Patches a step further by integrating them all along with other miscellaneous fixes and vanilla asset enhancements. Template:Notice Small
Core STEP is NOT about ...
- ... content that conflicts with TES lore or vanilla Skyrim lore.
- ... mods that subjectively alter or contrast with the style of vanilla Skyrim.
- ... new content that is out-of-scope with vanilla Skyrim.
- ... mods that subjectively alter game settings (GMSTs) of vanilla Skyrim.
STEP Expanded (aka: the STEP Pack)
STEP Expanded is about ...
- ... content that is consistent with Skyrim and TEL lore.}} as established by Bethesda creators and extrapolated by the community according to the Imperial Library and the UESP.
- ... continuity and qualitative consistency of all in-game behaviors and assets (e.g., sounds, graphics, models, gameplay, etc.)
- ... new content, assets and effects that "fit" Skyrim and TEL lore.
STEP Expanded is NOT about ...
- ... Sex mods, female body replacement mods or beauty mods that unrealistically affect or digress from the ambiance of the TES series.
- ... Music replacement mods
- ... Gameplay overhauls
