phantommaggotxxx Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hey guys, So, a while back I FINALLY upgraded my 1280x1024 panel that I've had since 2k4. Bought a nice 1080, 144hz, asus gaming panel. The problem was all my skyrim profiles were locked into the 1280x1024 and I couldn't fix it. Something to do with SKSE and whatnot. So I just, and it was an absolute suck to do it, deleted everything and reinstalled.I have SKSE and MO, SIMM and a few other mods. Nowhere near as many as I had before. I'm having problems with textures disappearing (like armor turns blue, fire is just squares, breath is squares, etc.) and crash to desktop.I was considering reinstalling again and going through S.T.E.P.The only mods I really use outside of graphical ones are immersive armors, immersive weapons, UNP body, some armors, and most of the first couple pages of 'popular mods' 1 or 2 player homes, whistle for horse, unlmited bookshelves, the community college, and a few from the workshop I have to install manually. It seems like a lot of the mods I use are already in S.T.E.P.Is S.T.E.P. up to date and reliable?What's the best place to find a up to date S.T.E.P. install guide?Thanks in advance for any useful answers.

Ondrea Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 STEP was definitely worthwhile for me to use as a guideline to get a stable game. It really did help me get to a point where I have zero crashes. But they use a lot of mods that I didn't want at all so as I said it was just a guideline for me. Definitely helpful information there regarding setting up your ini and ENB files, which mods are needed to help stability, and getting an idea of which mods won't cause issues. Just head to their main page and click on the Wiki link. You'll find the latest install guide there as well as other helpful information. Yep, it's up to date.

phantommaggotxxx Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 I'm looking at the S.T.E.P guide.I thought step was a package deal, Do I still have to install all that stuff separately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondrea Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 You still have to install most mods yourself. If you go to the STEP page on Nexus and scroll to the bottom, those are the mods included in their compilation file. Those are mostly textures and few fixes from authors that have given permission to include in their pack. The rest you'll have to install yourself following the instructions if they've added any in the Notes section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantommaggotxxx Posted August 13, 2017 Author Share Posted August 13, 2017 I guess, in a way, that's good. I can skip what I don't want.What about tools.Like TESV edit, wrye bash and loot.Isn't loot built into MO now? or do I still need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ondrea Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 You can run all three of those through MO but download them separately. LOOT is still getting regular updates, whereas MO no longer is. So yeah still need LOOT separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantommaggotxxx Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 Thanks.I'm up and running but having other issues.ENBoost has trashed my setup somehow.Even running the game vanilla from the steam client isn't right. So it's gotta be ENBoost. that's the only thing i know of in my Skyrim folder that I've never had in there before.. Unless bethini is messing it up somehow but I don't think it would be..

Ondrea Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Not sure what you mean by "trashed my setup". You have your enblocal.ini configured for your system? You using SKSE and launching the game with that? I don't use BethIni so no idea about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantommaggotxxx Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 IDK either.But everything runs fine til I put ENBoost on. For one, it kicks the FPS cap and I'm running 130+ FPS. Any time I get near anything that requires more PC than open space it starts skipping frames and the dragonborns hands/weapons go down (as if I've pressed R) every time a frame skips. (IDK if it's actually skipping frames, that's just the best description I can come up with ATM)I tried using Afterburner to record and it dropped teh FPS to a reasonable level and it seemed to go away. That's what made me look at the INI to find the FPS cap had been removed. After turning that back on and setting it to 60 it looked a lot better but still not right. Sort of like those videos people take underwater. This weird line appears any time I look around. Try to imagine a horizontal fold in my screen with the crease coming out at me. It gets worse around waterfalls and trees.Game doesn't look good again until I do a fresh install.. smh...Man, reinstalling this and getting it working has been worse than pulling my own damn teeth.Last time I just threw in mods, ran loot, and called it a day... Had like 150 mods and no real problems..Now I've got just a few and it's always something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfandrews Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Have you configured your enblocal.ini according to the STEP guide? If you are using STEP from the get-go this is rather essential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
