====Mods====
==Post-Release Changes==
===== D - {{#show:Category:ModSection_D|?SectionLabel}} =====
A general review and further cleanup of the Guide has been completed (formatting, grammar, clarification of directions, etc.)
* Reintroduced the support of the ''xEdit Output'' mod listing to capture xEdit Cache files (changes affect [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}#Profile_Setup|MO Profile Setup]] and [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}#Tool_Setup|xEdit setup]] instructions).
* Removed tool installations and associated content from the Guide. They've been moved the the [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]].
* Added additional instructions to initial BethINI setup to support the switch to the Lite version of Enhanced Blood Textures.
* Updated xLODGen settings to clean up most the z-fighting (flickering) along the banks and shores in the distance.
* Modified xLODGen instructions, since we added [[{{NAMESPACE}}:XLODGen_Resource_-_SSE_Terrain_Tamriel|XLODGen Resource - SSE Terrain Tamriel]] as a mod under ''03-Resources''.
* Modified LODGen mod names to be generic (not game specific) to better accommodate all guides. Different mod builds should use different MO instances anyway.
* [https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/14944-step-se-patch-development/ Renamed the Step Patches] for consistency and to better accommodate the forthcoming ENB patch.
* Updated Step 4 intro and added our standard note about MO separators.
* Modified Tools Setup in the [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]] to account for xLODGen, since it applies to all Bethesda games.
* Modified the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:DynDOLOD SE|DynDOLOD]] mod page instructions to account for MO tools setup, since this does not apply to all Bethesda games in the [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]].
* Updated mod instructions to use standard format and instructions for disabling plugins and hiding files in MO.
* Updated Mod Recommendations (select 'history' from under the ellipse to see change diffs):

=={{fc|#e6b69e|What's New}}==
<p>'''New Direction'''<br>
Step Guides are taking a new direction. [[STEP:New_Direction|Please read the article]] to understand how future Guides will be handled and released.</p>


<p>'''A New Prerequisite'''<br>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
A new Guide as been created that is meant for users to follow prior to any of our Gaming Guides. This new guide is the [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]]. Users should visit there and complete it before completing any Gaming Guide by Step.</p>
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:AMidianBorn_Book_of_Silence|AMidianBorn Book of Silence]] | Removed ''Creatures'' file from the instructions as it's now fully covered by other mods.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Bellyaches_Animal_and_Creature_Pack_SSE|Bellyaches Animal and Creature Pack]] | Re-added '''Deer''' to the installation since ''MM Elks'' never made the official release.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Dark Brotherhood Tenets Restored|Dark Brotherhood Tenets Restored]] | The mod download link erroneously pointed to the wrong mod. It now points to the intended mod.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Dragonbone_Mastery|Dragonbone Mastery]] | Updated instructions to better mesh with Better Shaped Weapons.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Realistic Water Two SE|Realistic Water Two SE]] | Updated instructions for latest version.


<p>'''Changelog Format'''<br>
=== 08-Character Appearance ===
We've updated the formatting of our changelogs to improve readability, group like-changes together, and include more information about changes made. We hope these updates will help to improve workflow by section for users updating!</p>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Lucien Lachance AE|Lucien Lachance AE]] | The mod was renamed. Previous name was ''Immersive Spectral Assassin''.


== Improved Guide Workflow ==
=== 09-Fixes  ===
Many steps were taken to improve the our guide workflow. As a result, the flow of the Gaming Guides have been completely rebuilt. A great deal of consideration was taken of the workflow from the user's perspective. Thus, the Gaming Guides have been restructured for a start to finish experience; whereas, previous versions of Step Modding Guides had users jumping back and forth too often.
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Moved'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:SSE_Engine_Fixes|SSE Engine Fixes]] | Relocated to 03-Resources to ensure an early installation.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Stay At The System Page|Stay At The System Page]] | Relocated to 16-Interface.
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Skyrim Skill Uncapper|Skyrim Skill Uncapper]] | Relocated to 15-Gameplay-Skills-and-Perks.


<p>'''New Mod Groups'''<br>
=== 10-Gameplay General ===
STEP Skyrim SE and the other new guides to follow have new "Mod Groups" based on standardized categories that minimize conflict resolution while maximizing differentiation. Compared to previous guides, this restructure greatly improves mod list organization while also reducing the need to hide individual mod assets, thus, improving workflow and reducing user error from missed steps.</p>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul|Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul]] | Updated the instructions to point to the files used for SSE runtime 1.5.97.0.


<p>'''Expandable Instructions'''<br>
=== 11-Gameplay-AI and Combat  ===
Users no longer have to leave the Guide page to view detailed mod instructions! We have rebuilt our mod tables to incorporate expandable rows for any mods with detailed instruction. This update drastically improves workflow and makes it far easier for users to install our Guides.</p>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Faction_Fixes_SE|Faction Fixes SE]] | Updated installation instructions.


<p>'''Cleanup'''<br>
=== 12-Gameplay-Economy  ===
As part of the flow change and a desire to reduce information that should be centralized, we've pulled several of the setup steps out of the Guides, and moved them to the new [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]]. Users are required to complete this new guide before completing any Gaming Guide. The remainder of the detailed instructions within Guides are now hidden by spoilers. This cleans up content and helps users to focus on one thing at a time. To reveal the instructions, users simply need to click the spoiler to expand it.</p>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Moved'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Weapons_Armor_Clothing_and_Clutter_Fixes|Weapons Armor Clothing and Clutter Fixes]] | Relocated to Gameplay-General for better categorization.


<p>'''Removals'''<br>
=== 17-Locations ===
To reduce user steps and simplify our Guides, the LOOT Rules from previous Step Modding Guides have been removed. Our CR Patches are now entirely designed around a LOOT-sorted plugin order. Now users simply need to accept a default LOOT plugin order and our patches take care of the rest.</p>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Farmhouse_Chimneys_SE|Farmhouse Chimneys SE]] | Updated instructions to latest version of the mod.


Wrye Bash has also been removed from the our Guides. Our CR Patches now serve this content in place of the Bashed Patches. Along with it, all Compilation files have taken an arrow to the knee! While it may save time by not having to download and install the mods the Compilations held, it also hinders customization, mod endorsements, and adds to maintenance overhead to the Guides. Therefore, Step will no longer provide compilation files/packs with our Guides. As such, any mods from the Compilations have been re-added to the Guides.</p>
=== 20-Patches ===
: {{fc|red|{{fs|1.12em|'''Dropped / Replaced'''}}}}
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Realistic_Water_Two_SE_Patch_Hub|Realistic Water Two SE Patch Hub]] | Dropped. Patch is no longer required.


<p>'''Revaluations'''<br>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
It has been ages since the sound-based mods were revaluated. This has finally been completed with this release! Also, a complete comparison of the textures included in the Guides have been completed. With the readdition of Skyrim Realistic Overhaul to the LE and SE Guides, this was desperately needed! Several mods have been dropped as a result of these revaluations.</p>
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Kryptopyrs_Patch_Hub|Kryptopyrs Patch Hub]] | Changed instructions to download individual patches. Also added instruction to install a recent hotfix.


<p>'''MCM Recommendations'''<br>
: {{fc|orange|{{fs|1.12em|'''Updated'''}}}}
The new Guides now include MCM recommendations. This is something the users have asked for since MCM existed and the wait is over!</p>
::* [[{{NAMESPACE}}:Step Patch - Conflict Resolution|Step Patch - Conflict Resolution]] | Updated mod instructions for the latest version.


== Step SkyrimSE Patches ==
==What's New==
In a desire and need to reduce maintenance overhead, the Step Patches available have been reduce from 8 to 2. Mods required for the Step Patches are indicated in green at the beginning of the mod listing in the mod groups. The Patches provided include:
====System Setup Guide====
The [[Guide:SystemSetupGuide|System Setup Guide]] is an integral component of all Step mod-build guides and should be completed early as indicated in all mod-build guide instructions.


{{fc|highlight|'''Step SkyrimSE - Conflict Resolution Patch'''}}<br/>
====Changelog Format====
This is the conflict resolution patch for the main Guide and is now all or nothing; whereas, before we were providing multiple patches for various mods users didn't want to install. This Patch includes the following additional edits beyond patching:
The changelog format has been modified to improve readability, group like-changes together, and include more information about changes made. We hope these updates will help to improve workflow when updating to a new version.
 
====Improved Guide Workflow====
The workflow of mod-build guides has been revised to both reduce page length of guide pages and to facilitate simper updating from version to version. A great deal of consideration was given to the user experience. Step's updated mod-build guides require much less off-guide navigation, because mod installation instructions now make use of collapsible elements within the 'ModGroup' tables themselves.
 
====New 'ModGroup' Tables====
Mod are grouped together based on standardized, logical categories called 'ModGroups' that maximize differentiation while minimizing conflicts. These ModGroups are the same across all game-specific mod-build guides. This improves mod list organization while also reducing the need to hide individual mod assets; thus, improving workflow and reducing the potential for user error from missed steps.
 
====Step Patches====
Also see the [https://stepmodifications.org/ipb4/topic/14516-step-se-core-patches-by-the-step-team/ forum topic].
 
{{Fc|instruction|'''Step Patch - Conflict Resolution'''}}

{{fc|highlight|'''Step SkyrimSE - Lighting & Weather Patch'''}}<br/>
{{Fc|instruction|'''Step Patch - Lighting and Weather'''}}
This is the conflict resolution patch specifically for the new ''Lighting & Weather'' mod group. It's provided separately for users who wish to use different lighting and/or weather mods than what STEP has chosen for the Guide.
The ''Lighting and Weather'' conflict resolution patch is required if the optional Lighting and Weather ModGroup is installed. Mods on which the CR patch depends are indicated by a vertical {{Fc|red|red bar}} to the left of the mod name in ModGroup tables.
 
Most of the patch information can now be found on their [https://stepmodifications.org/forum/topic/14516-step-se-core-patches-by-the-step-team/ forum topic].

What's New[edit | edit source]

System Setup Guide[edit | edit source]

The System Setup Guide is an integral component of all Step mod-build guides and should be completed early as indicated in all mod-build guide instructions.

Changelog Format[edit | edit source]

The changelog format has been modified to improve readability, group like-changes together, and include more information about changes made. We hope these updates will help to improve workflow when updating to a new version.

Improved Guide Workflow[edit | edit source]

The workflow of mod-build guides has been revised to both reduce page length of guide pages and to facilitate simper updating from version to version. A great deal of consideration was given to the user experience. Step's updated mod-build guides require much less off-guide navigation, because mod installation instructions now make use of collapsible elements within the 'ModGroup' tables themselves.

New 'ModGroup' Tables[edit | edit source]

Mod are grouped together based on standardized, logical categories called 'ModGroups' that maximize differentiation while minimizing conflicts. These ModGroups are the same across all game-specific mod-build guides. This improves mod list organization while also reducing the need to hide individual mod assets; thus, improving workflow and reducing the potential for user error from missed steps.

Step Patches[edit | edit source]

Also see the forum topic.

Step Patch - Conflict Resolution The main conflict resolution patch is required for the intended mod build to function properly. Mods on which the CR patch depends are indicated by a vertical green bar to the left of the mod name in ModGroup tables.

  • Hand built leveled lists.
  • Increases arrow speed to ~1.5x that of vanilla.
  • Increases the chances of recovering arrows from dead NPCs to 50%; vanilla is 33%.
  • Increases the time that passes during fast travel. It will be similar to the take it takes to walk the distance; time is accurate within 2-3 min deviation.
  • Reduces the distance NPCs will greet the player to 60; vanilla is 160. This prevents the constant NPC greeting while walking around cities.
  • Reduces the distance requires for NPCs to detect crimes to 2000; vanilla is 4000. This provides for more realistic gameplay as guards won't catch you as often from seemingly out of nowhere.
  • Reduces the maximum chance that NPCs can dodge projectiles to 66%, vanilla is 100%. This reduces the uncanny dodging abilities of hostile targets.
  • Reduces the game's timescale to 15; vanilla is 20. This results in longer day/night cycles.
  • Several bug fixes are also included from various mods with open permissions.

Step Patch - Lighting and Weather The Lighting and Weather conflict resolution patch is required if the optional Lighting and Weather ModGroup is installed. Mods on which the CR patch depends are indicated by a vertical red bar to the left of the mod name in ModGroup tables.

Guide-Level Changes[edit | edit source]

  • Updated MCM sections for any mod updates.
  • Updated optional BethINI settings for the latest version of BethINI.
  • General refinement of text formatting and instructions throughout the Guide.
