Step Modifications is an extensive project gathering and bringing together information from across the community in the form of extensible modding and "how-to" guides. These are step-by-step guides to enhancing games with a focus on quality and performance over quantity. Step tries to stay as close to the 'vanilla' experience as possible, while addressing game bugs, improving visual quality, and correcting game-play mechanics. Our users should always expect an enhanced rendition of the game's original concept and mechanics when following one of our guides.

Currently, the Guide considered to be in a semi-retired state; we're still performing routine maintenance from time to time. All of Step's future endeavors at modding Skyrim will focus primarily on Skyrim Special Edition.
