Welcome to Apepi's Improved College of WinterHold!
Arch-Mage: Cribs Edition
Where restoration spells are important.

Now with an Oldrim version! (recreation, not a port so not 100% the same). Will port Oldrim to SSE in the future, maintaining them separately is a lot of work.

-----==Recommended==-----
Awesome Potions - Great replacer with a silly name!
Unlimited Bookshelves - To make full use of all the extra shelving, get your inner decorator on!
Cutting Room Floor - Lots of little change. Restores 1 quest and 2 radiants to the College and 2 npcs.
Qaxe's Questorium - Big content mod. It's great.

-----==Incompatibilities==-----
  • Anything that alters the College of Winterhold will likely conflict, I'm not going to make patches for other big overhauls.
  • Gear mods that use slot 58 will conflict with my rings (I'm open to using a different slot)
  • Mods that alter the unhooded Arch-Mage Robes will probably conflict, but are also probably redundant.
  • Broad clothing changers (Like Opulent Outfits) may make NPCs appear nude. Placing clothing mods below this mod in your load order should help.
  • Custom races may experience dark face bugs. I won't be providing support for this.


-----==Future Plans==-----
  • Add some NPCs to flesh out the campus
  • Think of quest/spell ideas to add
  • Tweak AI packages for better sandboxing with meals, practicing, etc.
  • Recipe ideas
  • Make patches for conflicting mods.

-----==Known Issues==----
  • Using the "Writing Chair" may make the player freeze in 1st person. Draw/sheathe weapons to break the lock-up.
  • Lefty Rings don't always appear in first person. Why? No idea! This seems to be a limitation of SSE.
  • Clutter may remain in original position if rooms have been visited before. See footnotes for a fix if this really bothers you.
  • The Unofficial Patch also alters Urag's sleep package. He might sleep in the dorms rather than his loft or switch between the two with USSEP installed.

Resetting Cell interiors cuz apples are everywhere and you're losing it!

To do this requires using two commands first is ResetInterior.

Warning, this reverts the cell to it's base state and will remove placed items, while respawning anything removed. This also resets NPCs Use with extreme caution.

The second command is PCB, which is Purge Cell Memory clears your cache.

  • Open your Console (~ key usually)
  • ResetInterior CellID
  • Hit Enter
  • PCB
  • Hit Enter
  • You're done! ~ to close the console again!

The CellIDs for the College I've changed are:
  • WinterholdCollegeArcanaeum
  • WinterholdCollegeArchMageQuarters
  • WinterholdCollegeHallOfTheElements
  • WinterholdCollegeHallOfCountenance
  • WinterholdCollegeHallOfAttainment


Example:
ResetInterior WinterholdCollegeArchMageQuarters
Will reset the Arch-Mage's Quarters and clean up loose apples and such
