My STEP SE extension

[mwanted]

Hi guys,
first of all I want to congratulate and thank you for the amazing work you are doing in the step SE guide.
I've been preparing what is probably going to be my most beautiful playthrough (out of 3 in the past I've never finished Skyrim :P) by following your guide step by step.

After 2 days (lol) I'm almost at the end (of course with MO, the God of Mod Managers) and in a place where I want to add my personal touches and I'm afraid to ruin everything.

I'll leave the extensions I'm worried about below with some comments, if someone far more experienced can give me the thumbs up or down I'll be eternally grateful ;)

Bear in mind that unless specified it's implied I'm going to follow every step of Step.

1. I'd like to use Ordinator, so I guess I'll need: Ordinator + ini patch for Skill Uncapper dedicated to Ordinator + the Odinator CACO, CCOR, WACCF patches by Kryptopyr + not installing the Smithing perks overhaul. Is it enough?
2. This is even trickier but something I really really want: Skyrim revamped - loot and encounter zones  + MEZF - Missing encounter zones fixed (the all exteriors version + RW2 patch) + I don't understand if I also need this: Skyrim revamped: complete enemy Overhaul
3. Immersive world encounters
4. Then there's Frostfall, I don't know if I'll be able to add it to the already impressive list. Maybe I'll try to start without it.

Then something I don't get (It's really a lot I don't play Skyrim): does the STEP setup have the footsteps on the snow?

 

Thanks

No footprints in the snow in the guide atm.

Try it and see if it works.

That's a very specific setup that I'm not familiar with so without actually doing it myself, I can't offer you much advice.

Footprints is planned, but it needs to be tested to see if it works with the animations we have. There was also an issue of the decal transparency not working with some lighting, so users end up with visible squares. Both these things need to be tested and I haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

Ok thanks guys, I guess I'll try it out and leave some feedback here (on the technical side but also on the gameplay side)

For what it is worth, I use STEP as a core base for my modding and I am currently using footsteps with your animations and no apparent issues... not the thorough testing that you guys would usually do, but from my POV they work fine.

Good to know! Have you tried it with ENB, perhaps?

Afraid not Angel, I just use STEP without an ENB.

 

I have used them for maybe 50 hours of gameplay and testing and they haven't been the cause of any crashes as far as I could tell.

 

I debug crashes through Papy and .netscriptextender and couldn't see anything that implicated them as a cause when I did crash.

 

They're one of my fav mods TBH! Love immersion :)
