Introducing STEP v2.2

STEP is evolving rapidly, and the upcoming release offers up many new features, resources, and perks. It is easier to install, complete with tools and instructions that will greatly simplify maintenance by even novice modders. STEP v2.2.0 has been carefully, and faithfully, constructed to provide Skyrim modders with what we think is among the best looking, most stable, and one of the most widely used modded setup "kit" for Skyrim.

New PDF
  1. General Community Updates
