|style="border: 0px;"|I am going to use this page to document what mods I use that are not a part of the current STEP release, how to make them compatiable with each other and STEP, and give the reasoning behind each choice.  This is a personal list and not everyone will agree with all the choices or changes.  I am doing this really for myself and since I so love the STEP experience, I felt this would be a good place to catalog what I am going to use.  The criteria by which I select mods are as follows...<br /><br />
| [[File:unknown.png|250px]] ||
* Increased immersion and realism, but not breaking with the Skyrim world
<big><big><big><big>[https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/User:Eberkain/Kislarn Kislarn Fireheart]</big></big></big></big>
* Enhancing the gameplay to be more engaging and difficult to the player
:Faction: College of Winterhold
* To conflict with STEP as little as possible, I would like to keep every step mod
:Class: Female Dunmer Wizard
<br />Go down the following list and install them in order after a finished STEP setup.  I recommend jumping in and playing for a bit after each section to ensure things are working correctly still.  The following sections are presented with tables of information, this is a breakdown of what it means.

== VISUAL ENHANCEMENTS ==
:Backstory: Rich traveler from a distant land
 
:Residence:
For visual enhancements I am looking for a set of mods that both enhance the game's appearance and keep the computer system from slowing to a crawl.  This is a very subjective topic, and each person will have their own likes and dislikes.  After much testing I have determined that ENB is really just not worth the performance hit.  The things that make the most difference in the appearance of a scene are, AO, Bloom, DOF, AA, Contrast, Saturation, AF.  I can only speak to Nvidia users, but you can enable AO->Performance, AFx16 and FXAA using the hardware and all with very little performance impact.  The following mods cover the remaining items and I think the screenshots below demonstrate best.  Personally I feel the mods look more interesting, and also consider you have the flexibility of drastically changing the settings in game.  This coupled with the superior performance make the choice simple in my opinion.

Assume any links in this section are NSFW.  I've often struggled on the topic of body replacers.  I would like to have them, but most just do not look like real people.  Then if I find one that looks good, it just does not fit in with the Skyrim world.  Then I just don't want every npc naked every time I look a piece of new armor.  I believe I have found a combination of addons that fit with all these requirements.  I will blackout any of the install instructions that might be considered NSFW.
