About this mod
A new way of playing Skyrim. Almost all NPCs are ghosts, and they are after you! Will you be able to survive this adventure and defeat the main bosses?

I guess, Dragonborn, you weren't able to save Skyrim. All those people you loved so much (like Nazeem or Heimskr) are dead now :(
You can encounter their ghosts wherever they used to live before. But beware! Their main goal is to kill you for not saving them and their loved ones!
This mod is for those who are tired of the same old glitchy quests (or want to take a break from them). Start a new game, survive, become stronger and defeat two main bosses: Ulfric Stormcloak and Elisif The Wraith. (And lesser bosses, like the Greybeards, some Companions, Delphine and so on)
No more wasting time on quests and conversations with NPCs! (At least during that play-through)
No more safe cities and towns!
Pure sandbox survival in Skyrim!
You can trade with hunters and fishermen. You can sell them items of any type. They are your best and only friends now.
Most NPCs should be non-essential (killable), but if you encounter an essential NPC, you can use an automatically added spell to make it killable.
Children ghosts are also killable and hostile.
The ghosts are pretty tough. They are more resistant to physical damage, less affected by stagger effects, aren't affected by fall-damage, etc.
I've made the visual effects of the ghosts more transparent and darker. (The video pic. or some screenshots are a bit outdated)
Most of the ghosts respawn (not the bosses).
Stormcloak soldier ghosts are still fighting with the Imperial and Thalmor ghosts.
A new game is required. If you install it mid-game, not all changes will be applied.
To start the game, use one of the alternative start mods. I'm using Skyrim Unbound Reborn.
Usually it's a good idea to start (spawn) in the wilderness or near the borders, not in a town or a city.
The mod is a work in progress, but the updates won't be frequent.
99% of NPCs are overhauled, but there are a lot of places that are closed due to quest requirements. Some places I've already made accessible:
Some of the places you can unlock by yourself, using the console. Open the console, click with your mouse on a door you want to unlock and type: unlock
You can get to Soltheim from the Windhelm docks, just like before. Kill the ghosts, but don't kill the sailors. Then hire the ship to get you to Soltheim.
To disable the couriers completely, you can use this mod: No More Couriers (LE SE)
It took a lot of time to make this mod. I had to edit almost every NPC in the game. If you like the mod - don't forget to endorse it :)
INSTALLATION AND LOAD ORDER
There are no special requirements. Only the main DLSs: Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfire.
This mod affects mostly the NPCs and quests. So, a general guideline is this: try not to put mods that also change NPCs or quests after
'Skyrim Is Dead'.
For most players it's better to place the .esp at the bottom of the load order, even after the alternative start mods, but before the Realistic Water 2 and Dyndolod-generated files, if you use those mods.
COMPATIBILITY
Well, obviously, quest mods that rely on interactions with the vanilla NPCs aren't gonna work.
Mods that base their actors on the vanilla soldier, guard (and some other) templates will probably have those actors ghostified too.
Mods that change the appearance of NPCs are kind of obsolete. (Who cares if ghosts have high-poly faces? You still won't see the difference)
Mods that change places should be compatible.
For the most part, the compatibility with other mods is yet to be tested. You can help me with that... Find a mod that requires a compatibility patch and let me know about it in the comments. Or you can make your own patch if you're a modder.
This mod is fully compatible and works even better with my other mods...
