    Hi everyone. Having taken stock of everything in my life at the moment, I've decided to go on indefinite hiatus from Skyrim modding. I'm letting you all know so that you will understand that I won't be responding to any comments, bug reports, or messages for the foreseeable future. If you'd like to make a third party patch or translation of one of my mods, you may feel free to do so and release it.

    I have appreciated all of the affection many of you have shown towards my work, and hope that many more will in the future.

    - Obs.

    Wow, it's been almost exactly three years since my hiatus message. Thank you everyone who's worked on patches and advised people in my absence. My hiatus is really more of a retirement from modding at this point. My AAA dev work takes up all of my creative energies, but more importantly, has me happy and fulfilled. Everything in the old hiatus message is still true so I am going to leave that up as well.

    Take care, everyone. It was good times.

    - Dana

      Wish you the best and a happy retirement, with many (MANY) thanks for a wonderful college upgrade.  Since it entered my load order, it has never once left.

    Is this mod compatible with College of Winterhold - Quest Expansion?

    Does any user know if this mod is supposed to fix that damn bridge?

    I found Praedy's mod and in the middle of its FOMOD, it offered two diff options for a new, pristine, fixed bridge. But the wording implied that the actual fixed bridge is part of Obscure's mod. So i came here to get this too.

    I have installed both, i have done one at a time, i have burned black candles at midnight and made pacts with demons. Nothing fixes that gorram bridge. And yes, i am ripping everything out, reverting to a previous save before install, and starting over each time.

    WHERE does the fixed bridge come from??? There are thumbnail images of it in Praedy's FOMOD so i know it exists lmao

    I just got the quest to pick up the private collection key after helping Urag. Problem is, I've already picked it up earlier. It's gone from the guest room in Hall of Attainment, and the quest won't advance despite taking the key out of its chest. Sold the note to some merchant long ago.

    Is there a "setstage" I can use to rid my journal of this quest?

    I'm having issues with the textures/meshes flickering really badly outside the college, does anyone know what might be causing this or how to fix it?

      For me it was Lux, (re)install the Lux Patch Hub fomod, it should auto detect OCW and put it after this mod.

    Every Interior, besides the hall of elements and arcanum, has INSANELY bright blue lights. I've only seen one other commenter with this issue with no replies :( this is such a great mod and I want to use it so bad, but this one issue made it unplayable sadly. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    It's probably a lighting plugin issue (I'm running FUS if that helps any), I just have no idea where to start

    edit: gave up, just turned cellsettings patch off. Still flickery lights but oh whale

      My game started crashing after installing this, and after some digging around, I find a lot of other posts on Reddit and on Nexus with this issue, who also have OCW in their modlist. There are a tonne of navmesh issues with this mod as well. I don't recommend anyone to install this mod, it's an enormous headache.
