O projekcie STEP
STEP jest wyczrpującym i szeroko zakrojonym poradnikiem, który ma na celu wzbogacenie gry TES V: Skyrim o najlepsze modyfikacje (zwane potocznie modami) orazy optymalizację ustawień gry. Stawiamy na jakość, nie na ilość. Założeniem projektu jest zachowanie wierności oryginalnej zawartości Skyrima, przy jednoczesnym wzbogaceniu wrażeń wizualnych i dźwiękowych oraz poprawienie błędów w mechanice gry.
Created by TheCompiler, STEP is a collaborative project with input from the modding community, technical volunteers, and project administrators. The goal is to provide tested and validated methods for establishing and maintaining an enhanced modded Skyrim. Thus, the Guide provides detailed, well-tested build instructions for a solid modding template. New modders can follow STEP explicitly, or more experienced modders may use it as general guide.
The STEP team collects information from the modding community through detailed reviews, feedback, and suggestions exchanged on the STEP Community Forums. Posting rules apply, so be sure to read and follow them and enjoy a warm welcome and plenty of high-quality support from a large community of experienced STEPers. Check out the comparison screenshots on the Nexus. But remember: the only way to experience STEP ... is to actually experience STEP.

STEP Mandate
Core STEP is about enhancing vanilla Skyrim for the PC ...
- Texture replacements at minimized performance cost and true to vanilla Skyrim
- Continuity of all in-game textures, reducing immersion-breaking variation in texture quality (i.e., comparable resolution and style across all armors, weapons, clutter, terrain, etc.)
- Graphical mods (ESPs) including new content that "fits" vanilla Skyrim
- Gameplay & sound mods that improve the consistency and the perceived intent of vanilla Skyrim
- Interface mods that improve the menus and UI.
- Fix mods that truly "fix" malfunctioning aspects of vanilla Skyrim.
STEP is NOT about ...
- Content mods that conflict with vanilla Skyrim and/or TES lore
- Mods that change the perceived intent of vanilla Skyrim
- Sex mods or female body replacement mods
- Music replacement mods
- Gameplay overhauls
Performance, Baseline & Extreme STEP
STEP provides an enhanced vanilla experience by utilizing a minimum or “Core” set of game enhancements adhering to the original vanilla feel of the game according to the STEP Mandate. All Core mods are considered essential to all STEP "versions". Non-Core mods are optional but highly recommended. STEP versions are delineated at three levels according to relative performance impacts:
- Performance STEP: Core mods only; performance options wherever possible.
- My poor box needs all of the mercy that I can spare it, but I must have STEP!
- Baseline STEP: Core and non-Core mods; performance/quality and balanced options wherever possible.
- My box is decent, but I hate even the tiniest FPS drops and stuttering!
- Extreme STEP: Core and non-Core mods; highest-quality options wherever possible.
- My box is omnipotent!

1.A. Install Steam & Skyrim
This guide assumes that the reader has installed Steam as recommended by the Skyrim Installation Guide (SIG). Please take some time to properly set up and configure Steam as recommended by the guide before continuing. Likewise, please refer to the Skyrim installation section of the SIG to establish the recommended Skyrim installation for STEP.
It is very important to begin by reverting to a clean Vanilla Skyrim installation.
1.B. Skyrim Launcher Options
1.B.1. Launcher Settings
- Launch Skyrim from Steam and click on [Options]. This will establish the INI file configurations according to the detected hardware. It will also establish the registry entries necessary for utilities and applications used downstream.
- Click the [Ultra] button.
- Under Antialiasing, select 4 Samples, as the difference between 4 Samples and 8 Samples is very subtle and not worth the performance loss (per Tweakguides). Drop down to 2 Samples as a last-resort to improve performance. NOTE: If using SMAA, set this value to zero.
- Under Anisotropic Filtering, select 16 Samples (use 8 Samples for a very slight performance gain).
- Click the [Advanced] button and make sure FXAA is UN-checked. FXAA reduces the Anisotropic Filter effect as well as overall texture detail. It is a huge performance improvement over AA, but comes
