The mod add an always false condition as Hearthfire quests start trigger, so it cannot block the Falkreath house quest if it has already been started by reading the letter. However using the skyrim console it is possible to reset the quest. Steps are: 1) Load your save with the mod enabled 2) Open the console and execute the commands: "resetquest BYOHHouseFalkreath", "set stage BYOHHouseFalkreath 12" 3) Remove the letter from the inventory. Run "player.showInventory" to find the letter id, then "player.removeitem id 1" 4) Save and then load the created savegame Quest will be removed from the journal, and the letter will be sent again only after disabling the mod.
I created this because I need to have Hearthfire installed as required dependency of some mods, but I prefer to delay the quests startup. "Time is Everything" is the best option for this purpose, but it does not work for Hearthfire on my old savegames and it requires SkyUi. For example I don't want to recieve the letter discussing the "fame of your exploits across Skyrim" just at level 9.
Funny, I did the same thing for my Quest Conflict Fixes mod, since the letter prevents you from completing Rare Gifts for Siddgeir. And also because it was pretty clearly only present to explain to newcomers of the add-on how to get the new properties. Although I only disabled the letter, not the purchases as a whole.
the letter prevents you from completing Rare Gifts for Siddgeir
Interesting. That alone merits a mod like this one. Thanks @ Vanni & FyrsteVn. So my understanding is we use this mod on a new game and whenever we feel ready for Hearthfires to start, we just yank the esp out of our loadout?

You can also enable the mod together with Hearthfire on old savegames created without the dlc.
