NOTE: If you happen to stumble onto this page, don't proceed unless you know what you're doing! (because I don't)
STEP 1
NOTE: This guide assumes all DLCs except the Hi-Resolution DLC are installed!
1.A. Install Steam & Skyrim
Detailed Information --> Skyrim Installation Guide
Security Settings
Since User Account Control can prevent some tools from working correctly, it is recommended to edit the security settings of your skyrim directory to give Users full control. To do this:
- Find your skyrim directory (normally located in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\). - Right-click the skyrim folder and select Properties.
- Go to the Security tab and click Edit...
- Highlight Users (<username>\Users) in the top panel.
- In the bottom panel, under the Allow column for Full Control, check the checkbox and click Apply.
- Click OK and OK and you're done.
1.B. Skyrim Launcher Options
Detailed Information --> Skyrim Launcher Guide
As a quick-start to installing STEP, simply launch Skyrim from Steam to initialize the auto-detection process, accept the preset, and continue to 1.C. Make certain that the preset Antialiasing is no greater than 4x (4 samples); otherwise, keep the preset. This is a conservative preset that will facilitate a smooth game once STEP is configured initially according to this guide (i.e., what does not tax performance now may be burdensome later). More extensive INI tweaking can be done after STEP is set up and verified as running smoothly.
1.C. Install Utilities
This guide uses Mod Organizer.
| Mod Name | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Mod Organizer | Detailed instructions available | |
| LOOT | Detailed instructions available | |
| TES5Edit | Detailed instructions available | |
| Merge Plugins TES5Edit Script | Copy the contents of the included "Edit Scripts" folder into TES5Edit's "Edit Scripts" folder. This folder is located in the directory where TES5Edit.exe is. | |
| Wrye Bash | Detailed instructions available |
1.D. INI Tweaks
Detailed Information --> Skyrim INI Guide
As in the previous section above, it is highly recommended that no other INI settings be configured at this point, because the conservative presets are a good starting point for accommodating a performance-friendly initial STEP setup. The detailed INI guide can be referenced once a stable setup is verified after completing this guide.
The following INI tweaks are recommended for all users and affect gameplay without impacting performance.
Using the Tools > [Configurator] tool prevents any editing mistakes. Open the tool, click [Basic] to get the Advanced options, and choose the applicable section from the combobox. Then find the applicable setting and alter as indicated below. Click the [Save] button after each change and close the dialog when finished.
1.D.1. Skyrim INI
Each of the following entries can be pasted directly into the INI (if editing manually). The entry descriptions are commented, so they will not be interpreted by the game at startup. Alternatively, these descriptions can be omitted.
[General] sIntroSequence= ;Disables the intro sequence for a faster startup fFlickeringLightDistance=8192 ;Helps prevent lighting pop-in
[Display] ;Improves shadow changes as the sun moves through the sky fSunShadowUpdateTime=0.25 ;Transition time of sun-shadow movement fSunUpdateThreshold=1.5 ;Time between sun-shadow movement
[Actor] fVisibleNavmeshMoveDist=12288.0000 ;allows arrows to hit objects as far as the appear to fly.
1.D.2. SkyrimPrefs INI
[Display] iMaxAnisotropy = 0 ;Anisotropic Filtering - set this to zero, as it should be controlled via the graphics driver. iPresentInterval = 0 ;disable vsync! - vsync should be handled in enblocal.ini (see ENBoost mod instructions)
[Controls] bMouseAcceleration=0 ;Disable mouse acceleration
STEP 2
2.A. LOOT Sorting
At any time during the mod installation process LOOT should be used to sort plugin load order before stopping to benchmark and test Skyrim. This is necessary to ensure proper plugin priority order (load order), which can have a dramatic impact on the game (or at worst cause a CTD).
- Launch LOOT via Mod Organizer by clicking on the "Sort" button or directly from the executables drop-down menu.
- Examine the LOOT output carefully and look for any alerts or warnings and address each. The Plugins tab in MO (on the right side of the MO window) is where plugins can be activated/deactivated and sorted (either drag and drop or use Ctrl + Up/Down arrow keys to sort).
2.B. Clean the Bethesda Master Files
To remove errors in the Bethesda master files, STEP recommends that they be cleaned with TES5Edit. This ensures maximum stability and compatibility within the Skyrim modding experience.
- Clean Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, HearthFires.esm and Dragonborn.esm in the following manner:
- Clean the .esm.
- Run TES5Edit through Mod Organizer.
- Right-click the list of plugins and choose Select None.
- Double-click the .esm.
- Wait for the Background Loader: finished message in the right panel, and then right-click the .esm and select Apply Filter For Cleaning.
- Wait for the [Filtering done] message in the right panel, and then right-click the .esm and select Remove "Identical to Master" records. If the Warning! prompt pops up, click Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
- Wait for the [Removing "Identical to Master" records done] message, and then right-click the .esm and select Undelete and Disable References.
- Wait for the [Undeleting and Disabling References done] message, and then click the [X] to exit the program
- At the prompt, make sure the .esm is checked and click OK.
- After cleaning, there shall be files in Overwrite (essentially a fake mod located at the bottom of the left pane if sorted by priority ascending) created by TES5Edit.
- Right-click Overwrite and select Create Mod
- Name it TES5Edit Backups and click OK. This will create a new mod listing in the left pane for the TES5Edit Backups useful if the changes failed to be successful.
- Each subsequent time TES5Edit is used to edit a file, open Overwrite and drag the TES5Edit Backups back to this mod. This will keep them in an organized and safe location. The files have no impact on the game.
- Right-click the TES5Edit Backups mod and select Ignore Missing Data to remove the red X
flag.
- After that, repeat the process once more for Dawnguard.esm, but don't Undelete and Disable References (unnecessary).

- Morrowloot.esp after Weapons & Armor Fixes_Remade.esp
- Clean any ITM and UDR records indicated by LOOT.
- Repeat from (1) until no more Potential Mod order problems or LOOT warnings are reported
2.N.b. Bashed Patch
| Mod Name | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Bashed Patch | See below. |
To create the Bashed Patch:
- Launch Wrye Bash via Mod Organizer.
- Bash Tagging:
- Complete Crafting Overhaul_Remade.esp (Names, Stats) [make sure Relev, Delev is unselected]
- Morrowloot.esp (Delev, Relev)
- You Hunger.esp (Delev)
- ERSO 18 - LAWE Hardcore.esp (Name, Stats)
- ERSO 29 - DPMO.esp (Name, Stats)
- Within the Mods Tab, right click on "bashed patch, 0.esp", and select "Rebuild Patch".
- Tick the boxes next to "Merge Patches", "Import Names", "Import Stats", "Tweak Settings", and "Leveled Lists".
- Highlight "Tweak Settings", and tick the box next to "Crime: Alarm Distance" and "Timescale".
- Right-click on "Crime: Alarm Distance" and select '1000' and set "Timescale" to '5'.
- Next click [Build Patch] at the bottom of the window to construct the patch based on the current plugin list/order
After closing Wrye Bash and returning to MO, the "bashed patch, 0.esp" will be located in the "Overwrite" folder. (If there is no patch in Overwrite, it is probably due to past use of Wrye Bash outside Mod Organizer, which would have placed the bashed patch in the real Skyrim data folder instead of in Overwrite [1]). A different Bashed Patch can be created for every MO profile, so it is advised to move the Bashed Patch and its data to a separate mod folder. Simply right click the "Overwrite" folder and select 'Create Mod', then name it. Example is Bashed Patch. You will then need to check it to enable it. Each subsequent time you rebuild the patch, you must open Overwrite and drag the new files back to this mod.
2.N.c. SkyProc Patchers
Since you must launch SkyProc Patchers through Mod Organizer in order for them to recognize your mods, add them to the list of executables by doing the following:
- In the right pane, go to the Data tab.
- Locate the SkyProc Patchers directory and expand the ASIS/Dual Sheath Redux Patch directory.
- Right-click the ASIS.jar/Dual Sheath Redux Patch.jar file and select Add as executable.
- If asked to locate the Java binary, browse to where you installed Java (usually Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin) and select Java.exe.
- Enter a name and finish.
Run the patchers:
- Run the ASIS Patcher
- Only tick NPC Potions and NPC Enchant Fix
- Set NPC Potions Number to 2, chance to 5
- Run the Dual Sheath Redux Patcher
- Ignore the warnings about BOSS (run without BOSS, click cancel when browsing for .exe)
- After closing the Dual Sheath Redux Patch, there shall be files in Overwrite (essentially a fake mod located at the bottom of the left pane if sorted by priority ascending) created by ASIS and DSR. Right-click Overwrite and select Create Mod, name it SkyProc Output and click OK. This will create a new mod listing in the left pane for the SkyProc patches generated files. You will then need to check it to enable them. Each subsequent time you rebuild the patches, you must open Overwrite and drag the new files back to this mod.
- The masters of these new plugins will be sorted in the wrong order. Open the two plugins in TES5Edit, right click each one of them and choose sort masters.
Warning: Each time you change your load order, you should rerun the SkyProc Patchers to remake the patches. Failure to do so may lead to a CTD upon startup.
2.N.d. Misc
| Mod Name | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Better Shaped Weapons | Detailed instructions available | |
| Fores New Idles in Skyrim | Detailed instructions available |
2.O. Future Plugin Load List/Order Changes
NOTE: If using Familiar Faces, don't delete the vMYC folder in the Overwrite mod!
Whenever you install or uninstall plugins or change the load order, follow these steps:
- If Mod Organizer indicates a Potential Mod order problem, Fix it.
- Run LOOT and Sort Plugins.
- LOOT Rules:
- Weapons & Armor_TrueOrcish&DaedricWeapons.esp after Weapons & Armor Fixes_Remade.esp
- BetterDGEntrance.esp after Oblivion Gates v3 without Markers - Skyrim + Dawnguard DLC.esp
- Complete Crafting Overhaul_Remade.esp after Morrowloot.esp
- Morrowloot.esp after Weapons & Armor Fixes_Remade.esp
- STEP Combined PluginHF.esp change priority to 987000
- Clean any ITM and UDR records indicated by LOOT.
- Repeat from (1) until no more Potential Mod order problems or LOOT warnings are reported
- Rebuild Bashed Patch. If the old one was deleted for some reason, make sure to re-enable all the merged plugins.
- Delete ASIS.esp and/or Dual Sheath Redux Patch.esp if they have missing masters.
- Run ASIS patcher (only tick NPC Potions [Number: 2, Chance: 5] and NPC Enchant Fix)
- Run Dual Sheath Redux Patcher (ignore BOSS warnings)
- If you installed or uninstalled a FNIS based mod, run FNIS
2.P. Launching BBSTEP:Skyrim
Once all mods have been installed, run LOOT one final time to ensure the correct plugin order. When ready to play for the first time after a STEP install, be certain to either:
- Start a brand new character, or
- load the save game generated just after character creation if it exists, or
- load an existing character after clean saving the relevant save game.
It takes significantly longer to launch Skyrim from within MO than it does by using other means. Allow up to 3 minutes for Skyrim to launch before panicking ... launch time will be faster after the first launch in a given MO session (unless lots of mod-list changes are made).
NOTE: Avoid doing anything (except creating/naming your character) until all mods have been loaded. This includes choosing birthsign, class, etc.!
NOTE: Remember to SKIP THE INCOMPLETE "OPTIONAL TRAITS MENU" in game!
