There are many mods that change Winterhold, and I have no idea if those mods conflict with this one. I am sharing with you a mod I made for my own use, and have no plans on patching it for use with other mods that will never appear in my load order. This mod will mainly suit someone who does not like to deviate from vanilla Skyrim dramatically. Please feel free to patch it yourself, or simply choose another mod instead of it.
The mod works as intended. The unique problem i have is when i enter the home with my new key, still pointing enter your new home. Maybe due to the COCMarkerHeading or the Door Marker. No stages to stop the quest. I sleeped few times in the bed, housecarl is there, doing housecarls things. Super simple and efficiently. but maybe for a animation or whatever thing, when i enter the house, , get out and enter again, the mesage "visit your new home" still there... never finish the quest.
Thanks for the mod. I probably modify a bit only for me. Add KSHairdo's, High Poly Head and add some decorations here and there, but not much. It works perfect. It's because i have modded my game and a girl with vanilla face, body and hair is not good for me :-D
Remember, Vanilla is vanilla if you add 1 mod, like this, is no more vanilla
Been using this mod for a few playthroughs and really enjoy it in my load order. On my current playthrough I just completed the Jarl's quest, returned to him with the item and the quest completed as it does vanilla. No Thane, no housecarl. The good news is I was able to purchase the house but still no housecarl. Not a deal breaker for me especially since the other 4 or 5 times I've used this mod it's worked flawlessly. Any ideas?
Edit: I had already completed helping his people (all 3).
Update: it's 2023 and the 4 times I've used this mod since this post everything has work fine. Just make sure you install it on a new game. Great mod.
hate to ask but can you give this support for botox for skyrim mod(female version only) whatever its called so my winterhold housecarl doesnt still have the vanilla hairstyle other than that such a great mod
Having an issue with Malur. The text is there, the conversation happens, but the exchange does not occur and quest does not progress. Any thoughts? Is this a common issue?
This happened to me once in a play-through, I had to remove the mod and waited a while and reinstalled it and then it worked but that was only one time. I like this mod and use it on other play-throughs with no problem, so just a glitch maybe? I use this with the "Capitol of Winterhold" mod and they play nicely together.
I have been on a new save and don't have any mods conflicting with this one yet I am stuck on trying to buy the house. keeps saying that he gives me the key but he doesn't nor does he take my gold. I have given him the helm and helped the three people already yet I am still unable to get the house. i am stuck on the same dialog over and over and cant find a workaround
I installed this mode after completing the winterhold quest. Is there a way to activate it without playing a new game? I entered the setstage favor257 10 console, but there was no change.
favor257 is used for too many other quests, so console commands are difficult. If you are already thane of Winterhold, the house should be available to buy from the steward, but no guarantees...
I installed on a save I already became thane in. I can buy the house just fine, there's no housecarl, but if you prid the refID of the NPC with console and enable and placeatme then she appears and sandboxes in the house with dialogue as usual.
Btw the house is compatible with JK's Skyrim, fits the town perfectly well, since JK adds a few more buildings, but doesn't touch that house ruin. Also, the esp can be compacted and flagged as esl, though you need to regenrate the facegen for the NPC in CK to avoid blackface, other than that no problems. Not having a housecarl of Winterhold always bugged me.
Edit: there's a conflict/incompatibility between your mod and the unofficial patch. The patch adds more to the housing-quest thaat enables you to finish Solitude "visit proudspire manor" by going in the back door, since in vanilla it only finishes if you use the front door. However, that clashes with your winterhold house, so using your mod removes the fix by the unofficial patch for Solitude. Even with your mod overwriting the unofficial patch, I still get the quest marker for Solitude, and the "visit your home in Winterhold" quest will never be able to be completed, and stuck in the journal, sadly.
The problem with the quest marker is that you installed the mod on an existing save... This mod adds interior cells, so it is NOT a good candidate for an esl. If someone wants to make a patch for the Unofficial Patch, they can, but you will not get the quest marker pointing to the Solitude house if you start a new game.
I like this mod because it's simple but having Pandorale, Gman749, and Bijin in my load order makes it tough for me to use the housecarl. I would love to see an upgraded look for her and that's my only pet peeve. Other than that, this mod is one for the load order.
I like this because it's finally a simple player home that fits into an existing space without making it over the top, my only problem is the smithy and smelter in the basement are just too out of place for me, are they optional or just there by default?
