For the latest news and FAQ's/Troubleshooting tips, always refer to the mod's file page for the most recent info.




INSTALLATION:

NMM

1. Download with NMM or download manually then add mod from file.
2. Install.


Manual

1. Download manually
2. Extract the 7z file and its contents.
3. Drag contents into Skyrim\Data and merge/overwrite when prompted
4. Enable BOTH amethysthollowsmaster.esm AND amethysthollowsupdate.esp


UNINSTALLATION:

For a permanent uninstall (as in you don�t ever plan to use the mod again). This methos will ensure a SAFE AND CLEAN uninstall process that will reduce your risk of having a corrupted save game.

1. First and foremost, remove anything from the Amethyst Hollows area that you want to keep (uninstalling will cause all of those items to vanish), including any followers you have �relaxing� in the area.

2. Exit the area into a safe location, such as a vanilla exterior in Skyrim. Wait in-game about 3-4 days. Save your game. Quit Skyrim.

3. Download and install the UNinstaller Files from the Optional files section (unpack and drag contents into Skyrim/Data). Overwrite everything when prompted.

4. Re-load your save game, wait an additional 24 hours in-game. Save and exit.

5. Delete the following ONLY:
AmethystHollowsMaster.esm
AmethystHollowsUpdate.esp
AmethystHollowsUpdate.bsa

DO NOT delete the scripts files. Deleting scripts from any scripted mod will cause permanent errors in your save game FOREVER (this goes for ANY mod)

** If you ever uninstall another mod that contains a significant amount of scripts, please ask the mod author for similar uninstall files and safe uninstall procedure. If they are unaware of this issue, refer them to this article in the CK Wiki: http://www.creationkit.com/Save_File_Notes_(Papyrus)






Features:

Amethyst Hollows is an expansive palatial estate located within an alternate plane of reality. Access to the Hollows can only be achieved by consuming a hallucinogenic potion called Amethyst Torpor. Once the torpor has been taken, the user transcends into a dream state in which time is seemingly locked in perpetual stasis. The dream state is then projected onto the user's own material reality, allowing them and any others sharing the dream to freely pass through both planes.
