Project:Skyrim Special Edition: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 05:00, February 27, 2017

Intro[edit | edit source]

This will be the storehouse for information regarding STEP and Skyrim:Special Edition (SSE).

Do NOT use the included archiving tools that come with the new CK! They do not work properly. Follow these procedures for properly archiving mods for use with SSE: via Nexus Forums.

Tools[edit | edit source]

Wrye Bash is currently the best mod manager to use for SSE. It can come with a heavier learning curve than new users are used to.

Bethesda Archive Extractor is used to extract SSE archives. Currently Wrye Bash requires the String files to be extracted so users will need this.

NifModify is a tool which will fix missing tangent and bitangent data in meshes. This can be valuable to modders porting meshes over to SSE, but also to users who may experience rendering issues with meshes from mods they port for their personal use. It's only available in command line.

LOOT is now available for SSE.

2.N. Patches[edit | edit source]

STEP Compilation Mods[edit | edit source]

Potential Mods[edit | edit source]

This is a list of mods that could have potential in a STEP:SSE.

Acquisitive Soul Gems Multithreaded - potential replacement for Smart Souls.
DRAGON PRIEST - currently in testing.
ETHEREAL CLOUDS - Special Edition - vanilla-friendly, cloud replacer.
HD Road Signs - 2K and 4K - a nice HD, vanilla-friendly replacer.
SABERCAT - because....pretty kitties!
Skyrim Pebble - less Edition - removes the annoying pebbles that are set as a grass which are seen along the roads. We already have a mod that does this, but this one is for SSE.
WEBS S.E. - already accepted...I think.
WICO - Windsong Immersive Character Overhaul SE - I've been a fan of WICO for a long time. The changes made are lore-friendly (for the most part) and, best of all, everything is designed around vanilla. It's an option for STEP on SSE if the others are never ported.
