- This mod has been removed from STEP after some personal discussion with Starac (the author). Starac's work is now being using in a Skyrim total conversion project called Enderal. Starac does not support the use of the torrents which have been available for his SRO textures. For STEP to come into line with Starac's choices and wishes, we have dropped his work from STEP since we too have been pointing users to a torrent. Skyrim Realistic Overhaul will be replaced by a few mods, the main one for landscapes being Skyrim HD. The other textures SRO was providing will be compared and evaluated over time and will be replaced with each new STEP release.
