<b>Important: This page will be used to document my personal installation of STEP. I will NOT be doing a full installation of STEP v2.1.1b as it was designed for Skyrim v1.5 and is not 100% to my tastes. If that is what you are expecting, please stop reading.</b><br /><br />
This is my <b>personal</b> configuration based on the currently available STEP with the current Skyrim v1.7 BETA and I am taking the time to share in case anyone wishes to read.


== My Philosophy ==
In keeping with the original idea of STEP, I am trying to enhance the Vanilla experience with minimal edits/scripts. I feel some of the changes in the current STEP guide are unnecessary and as such I will be installing a sub-set of the mods in the guide.<br />
This installation is NOT a complete picture without looking at my [http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Neovalen/Personal_Mods Personal Mods] which I have installed over it.
== Prerequisites ==
# [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=Skyrim Skyrim v1.7 with fresh ini files]
# [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=DLC Official Hi-Res DLC]
# [http://skse.silverlock.org/ SKSE 1.03.10]
== Tools Used ==
# [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=Mod_Managers BOSS] ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6MxLBcSgkc&feature=player_embedded Video])
# [http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Skyrim_Installation#tab=Mod_Managers Wrye Bash v299 Standalone] ([http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide:Wrye_Bash Guide])
== Mod Installation (In Order) ==
=== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19 Unofficial Skyrim Patch] ===
<b>Category:</b> Fixes<br />
Always #1 on my installation list after official content. With the dialog bug fixed with Skyrim 1.7, I am once again using v1.0 that includes all the dialog fixes until Arthmoor releases a non stripped down version(v1.05c removes all dialog fixes).
=== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/8655 Static Mesh Improvement Mod] ===
<b>Category:</b> Meshes<br />
Always #2 on my installation order, I find it easier this way rather than selecting individual textures to not install as in the current STEP guide.
=== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/5400 Skyrim Realistic Overhaul] ===
<b>Category:</b> Textures<br />
Always #3 on my installation order, Skyrim Realistic Overhaul is my base texture pack. I do NOT use Skyrim HD - 2K Textures as I personally find them too different from Vanilla in some areas.
=== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/225 Accingite Vos - Shields HQ Retextures] ===
<b>Category:</b> Textures<br />
Follow the compilers advice and delete the glass folder prior to installation.
