| <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]

|
| |
| == Mod Installation (In Order) ==
| |
| I tend to install in category groups when possible rather than a set order with the following priority:<br />
| |
| <b>Base Mods -> World Meshes -> World Textures -> Effects -> Actor Meshes -> Actor Textures -> Animations -> Item Meshes -> Item Textures</b><br />
| |
| Obviously, these categories are not always exclusive (textures included with meshes, etc). All mods are in LOOSE file format rather than BSA where available.
| |
| === Base Mods ===
| |
| ==== [http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/19 Unofficial Skyrim Patch] v1.0 ====
| |
| <b>Category:</b> ALL<br />
| |
| <b> Notes:</b>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] v1.23 ====
| |
| <b>Category:</b> World Meshes, World Textures, World Edit(ESP)<br />
| |
| <b>BAIN Sub Packages:</b>
| |
| * 00 Core
| |
| * 01 Furniture
| |
| * 02 Vanilla Barrel Textures
| |
| * 03 Farmhouse 3D Ropes No Fade (Best)
| |
| * 05 Food
| |
| * 06 Signs 3D Rings

| * 07 Whiterun 3D Rings and Doors
| |
| * 08 Pull Lever 3D Rings Small Rings
| |
| * 09 Dwemer Clutter
| |
| * 10 Clothing Fixes
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> 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] v1.3 ====
| |
| <b>Category:</b> World Textures<br />
| |
| <b>Notes:</b> 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.
