So I think all I'm going to shoot for is the base STEP + Cloaks of Skyrim + Legacy of the Dragonborn and roll with it. I played around with some different mods and whatnot, but I think the needs mods just don't hold an interest for me anymore, I found it a little boring. Also read the Compatibility: Incorporated and Conflicting Mods page and browse through the patches available in Legacy of the Dragonborn Patches mod. You should read through the Legacy of the Dragonborn documentation (full guide, FAQ, etc.) provided near the top of the mod page on Nexus. I remember it was pretty easy with the pre-release guide, but I do not remember if I change anything else and I have not attempted it with the 1.0 guide yet. I think the biggest change is that Legacy of the Dragonborn includes both Book Covers Skyrim and Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library, so you'll need to remove both these mods (and remove the overriding records from the STEP CR Patch) before installing Legacy of the Dragonborn. I've been using an 'auto unequip' mod for so many years it just seems natural to me. I don't remember if automatically unequipping arrows is vanilla behavior or not. Step is the simplest guide to comprehensively improve the vanilla experience drastically, IMO.ĮDIT: Note that the Step website DOES support guide creators in creating, maintaining, and hosting advanced modding guides, so feel free to ask for support on how to do that if you get that far. Maybe you mean the overhaul 'mod'? Step itself doesn't support major deviations from vanilla but rather show people how to mod the game so that they can take up this sort of challenge independently. LotD is a totally different guide for more advanced users that want to tweak and fine tune to great detail (and accept all of the additional maintenance overhead), so not sure why we would want to use it as a base for Step. We don't support specifics outside of the guide, because there are nearly infinite variations and preferences.

Read mod descriptions and compatibility notes and bug reports. Use More Informative Console to investigate sources in game. On compatibility, use 圎dit launched from MO and Data in the the MO right pane to check sources of resources. maybe some mods get around this, but that is vanilla IIRC. Bows take both R/L slots like two-handed, so you obviously can only have one equipped at a time when that's the case. I'm not positive on the vanilla behavior of equipping arrows + melee weapons, but I cannot recall ever having two main weapons equipped at the same time in Skyrim.
