Template:TOCRight 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

  1. Skyrim v1.7 with fresh ini files
  2. Official Hi-Res DLC
  3. SKSE 1.03.10

Tools Used

  1. BOSS (Video)
  2. Wrye Bash v299 Standalone (Guide)
