STEP is all about graphic and bugs fixing mods so a lot of mods will be excluded except those that we think add more realism to the game. That said, we have been working on a program/framework to download all the STEP mods and organize them automatically, but that is no where near completion. Even if (and that's a huge "if") every mod author agreed to let us host their mod, sites like the Nexus restrict making compilation mods in the first place. On top of that, many mod authors prefer to have control over their files and do not allow anyone else to host their files. First off, it would require that we constantly keep all of the files up to date, which means that we'd have to upload a new version several times a day. The full guide to installing STEP can be found here. STEP is not one mod and it cannot be downloaded all at once. The ability to easily re-order, add, and remove mods will be essential to keeping STEP up to date and getting the best results. Minor revisions will usually include bug fixes and mod note changes, but can also offer a few new mods and mod order changes.īecause of our increased release frequency, we can't advocate an advanced mod manager such as Wrye Bash or Mod Organizer enough they make these updates incredibly quick and simple to perform. Minor version updates will occur every other weekend (usually on Saturday afternoon, United States time). What is STEP? What are STEP Packs? How often is STEP updated?
