: Grant's doing the 'hamster impersonation' at the moment. Not the being 'cute and furry' part, though that may also be true, more of the 'endlessly running in wheel getting nowhere specific'. Sad but true. | : Grant's doing the 'hamster impersonation' at the moment.

Right now the biggest news in the community is Skyrim Special Edition (SSE). If for some reason you've been living under a rock and haven't heard, Skyrim Special Edition is a remastered Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It will be released for the world in late October of this year. PC users will get it for free as long as they own either the Legendary Edition or have all the DLC. Many users skipped purchasing Hearthfire, but now is the time to get it so a free copy of Skyrim Special Edition can be claimed. This remastered version comes with a newer Creation Kit engine and 64-bit gameplay. The main remastering is being done to the visuals as users will have several new effects including better sun sets and sun rises, new snow and water shaders, screen-space reflections, volumetric god rays, and more. At this time, no one is sure of the scope of the changes, but what we do know is Bethesda has, at the very least, has filled the world with more foliage and clutter. This much can be seen in the teaser video. | Right now the biggest news in the community is Skyrim Special Edition (SSE).

Will there be a STEP for Skyrim Special Edition? The short answer is yes, there will be a STEP version for Skyrim Special Edition. However, the real answer is a bit more complicated than that. There are several things that will have to happen before we are able to host another guide for any game. | Okay so here's what we know about SSE: | ||
* 64-bit Platform | |||
* New Creation Kit (most likely something similar to FO4's CK) | |||
* New effects | |||
* New Shaders | |||
* Most mods "should" easily transfer (according to Bethesda so don't hold your breathe) | |||
* May, or may not, be coming via Steam to PC users for free | |||
* SKSE could take upwards of several months to be as complete as other versions | |||
* SkyUI will not be transferred over by it's author due to the amount of worked evolved. The author is okay with someone else doing to grunt work though. Contact the author if you're able and willing. | |||
* Console users will be required to pay for it. | |||
* Releases October 28th, 2016. (2016-10-28 ... 28-10-2016) | |||

The main holdup is development work on the back-end for the wiki. We're currently only set up to be able to host one guide and a ton of development went into doing so. With our free time limited, this development may take some time; longer than many of us wish. Once the development is complete, though, we'll hit the ground running and push out the first version of STEP:SSE. For those curious, wiki development has not yet started so if anyone has the skills and is very familiar with MediaWiki, please contact us! | The main holdup is development work on the back-end for the wiki.
