About this mod

The Shire is on the brink of disaster and it falls to an Outlander to determine its fate. Will it be conquered or liberated? The decisions of one traveler hold the answer.

Welcome to The Shire! This mod is composed of a few basic features:

  • A player-choice oriented questline containing both good and evil branches, estimated total of 25+ hours of gameplay. Fully and professionally voice acted. Comedic and dramatic dialogue specifically designed to branch into multitudes of choices whenever possible.
  • A customizable hearthfire-style player Halfling-home. Dig out and create from scratch all the comforts of home.
  • An expansive Lotro-inspired Worldspace full of towns, camps, and various encounters to explore. Bigger than Solstheim and designed 100% by hand.
  • Over 6,000 lines of skillfully voiced dialogue. Six-freakin-thousand. Let that soak in.


 


All you need is the latest version of Skyrim and you're good to go! No dlcs, SKSE, or other mods required. Note that this is a big mod and downloading it may take awhile.




  • Any mod that adjusts the gate near Black Briar lodge.
  • Summerset Isle.
  • Update 2 adjusts LostKnifeHideout02, any other mod utilizing that cell will conflict. 
  • Update 3 fixes incompatibility with OBIS and others, and has no known conflicts aside from Summerset Isle and mods that edit the gate near Black Briar Lodge.


Patches and Add-ons:
Alternate Start Options
Unique Border Gates Patch




Follow the road behind Riften and passed the Black Briar lodge, towards the cave that starts Dawnguard. When you approach the border the first quest will begin.


Keep updated on this project and my others!

Know Bugs:
-Black faces on Rangers - This bug seems to occur randomly throughout the quest whenever the game has trouble loading the detailed mesh. A simple reload of save/cell usually fixes it.

-I have heard from multiple people that the mod is too large for nexus mod manager to download. Thus, I strongly recommend a manual installation.

-Grass sometimes floats in Tamriel after walking through the shire, don't be alarmed as these are simply members of the floral space program. Reloading your last save might fix this, if not the console command "TG" will toggle the grass off.
