Template:Warning
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.
This is my personal 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.
This installation is NOT a complete picture without looking at my Personal Mods which I have installed over it.
Prerequisites
Tools Used
Mod Installation (In Order)
I tend to install in category groups when possible rather than a set order with the following priority:
World Meshes -> World Textures -> Actor Meshes -> Actor Textures -> Animations -> Item Meshes -> Item Textures
Obviously, these categories are not always exclusive (textures included with meshes, etc). All mods are in LOOSE file format rather than BSA where available.
Unofficial Skyrim Patch
Category: ALL
Notes: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).
Static Mesh Improvement Mod
Category: World Meshes, World Textures, World Edit(ESP)
BAIN Sub Packages:
- 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
Notes: 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.
Thats Ice (Glacier Mesh Pack)
Category: World Meshes
Notes: Glacier Mesh Pack Only For Now!
WATER - Water And Terrain Enhancement Redux
Category: World Meshes, World Textures, World Edit(ESP)
BAIN Sub Packages:
- 00 Core
- 10 WATER - Get Wet
- 30 WATER - Extra Wet Rocks
Skyrim Realistic Overhaul
Category: World Textures
Notes: 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.
Accingite Vos - Shields HQ Retextures
Category: Item Textures
Installation Options: Delete the Data/textures/armor/glass folder prior to installation.
