The Baseline install that we recommend will provide the best quality-performance trade-off.Ĭore mods are indicated by the presence of a green-ish vertical bar in the row at the immediate left-hand column of the table. For those wishing to use higher-quality options and/or to install the non-Core mods (tentatively, STEP:Extended Beta), be advised that a more powerful system is likely necessary. This will most likely entail installation options associated with many of the Core mods and possibly even two performance patches (TBD).įor this release, we recommend the following as a minimum hardware configuration for running STEP:Core (installing 'Baseline' versions of 'Core' mods only). Given what we know about the memory limits for 32-bit applications (aka the ' 3.1 GB limit for Skyrim'). It is tentatively planned that STEP:Core (and Extended, by proxy) will continue to provide a performance-friendly version in tandem with a standard version. Check out the comparison screenshots on the Nexus. Posting rules apply, so be sure to read and follow them and enjoy a warm welcome and plenty of high-quality support from a large community of experienced STEPers. The STEP team collects information from the modding community through extensive mod testing, detailed reviews, feedback, and suggestions exchanged on the STEP Community Forums. New modders can follow STEP explicitly, or more experienced modders may use it as general guide. Thus, the Guide provides detailed, well-tested build instructions for a solid modding template. The goal is to provide tested and validated methods for establishing and maintaining an enhanced modded Skyrim. Full Pack integration will be rolled out with STEP v2.3.0.Ĭreated by TheCompiler, STEP is a collaborative project with input from the modding community, technical volunteers, and project administrators. So far there are a few Packs created for STEP, but we expect this number to grow in the near future. This has led to several mods being dropped from Extended in accordance with the STEP:Extended Mandate.įinally, STEP:Packs to be installed after a STEP:Core install (all mods flagged by the green indicator) will be linked at the end of this guide for users wishing to add user-contributed functionality to the STEP:Core build. It has also undergone a thorough reanalysis of the Extended mod list in preparation for its separation into the official STEP Pack.

Thus, this marks our third interim release with a more strict STEP:Core. STEP 2.2.9 marks the third release in bridging our move to a new paradigm that will officially be unveiled as STEP 2.3.0.
