So, here you have version 2.0.8. Starting with version 2.0.0, the mod uses some of the new features introduced with the Anniversary Edition release. This will require updating Skyrim to the latest version (currently 1.6.640.0) including all free DLCs. Older versions of Skyrim SE are not supported. As always, please read the changelog for details. If you run into any bugs, just let me know. Due to some important changes, I will no longer support older versions of the mod.
Also, I am currently working on a wiki project for this mod due to the many features including a new and complete walkthrough. If you want to take a look please visit wahnfried.online. Please note that this project is not finished yet and currently in progress.
It is now possible to ride the Sabre Cat Marcus. Please note that this is an experimental feature. There are a few small issues to work around:
1. The animation when mounting him is something odd. 2. Although you can mount him at any time, you have to wait for him to get up to start riding. (Yes, he's a lazy little bastard!) 3. After being ridden, he is considered a horse and might end up in a stable or appear in the landscape after fast traveling. To get around this, briefly mount another horse. 4. If he takes too much damage while riding, you might not be able to dismount. If that happens, just wait a little bit, keep moving, and try again.
All these issues might be fixed in the future. Otherwise have fun!
Please do not spoiler here where the real treasure is. This may ruin the experience for some people. If you really need a clue, check wahnfried.online for much more details. You can also PM me if you wish. Other spoilers are welcome in moderation.
I would also like to know how difficult the treasure hunt was for you and which features you liked best. Feel free to leave a comment. By the way, it isn't that hard, if you know where you have to looking for. Sometimes things are obviously closer than you think ;)
I released an optional file to fix the well known annoying bug of mannequins moving around randomly. I've tried to fix the mannequins in this mod as best as I could, but sometimes they move anyway. This fix should end this behavior once and for all. Please note that the fix affects all mannequins in game. If you have a mod that changes vanilla mannequins, this might break your mod. Because of this, the fix is only available as an optional download.
A word on Hearthfire compatibility: if you want your family to move into the house, you'll need to install the Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions mod first. After that, cast the Bless Home spell from this mod while standing in the house. Then you can talk to your family members and tell them to move into "our new home."
You have three options here: you can move your family into the main house of Riverwood Manor, the lower rooms in the basement, or the sewers home. Just cast the above spell in one of these locations.
Hello Wahnfried Started a new play thru, and read something about wendy and other npc's will use the pool when enable in the library, ? I didn't know there was ever one there, and have been thru all postings before asking, and none have asked , how do you enable the pool in the library ?
I've used this mod for about three years now, I think.. time flies you know? I removed the mod so I could reinstall it without the Wall Paper screens option on, but that wasn't listed in the version I had to re-download.. oh well. I used that one and I just ignored the Wall Paper cut screens. I was revamping my mod list because I broke my game yesterday (I was CTD'ing on all my recent saves/auto-saves) so I re-downloaded this again, I saw the newly added carriage, I missed seeing Chauron by the tree, but I caught the dialogue to buy him in Marcellus's dialogue. I saw the newly added sub-basement trophy room, I also missed that I had to see Wendy instead of Alvor to purchase the home.. and I saw Wendy's ghost daughter (who got me killed by walking in front of me while I was using the training dummy, I guess she's a student of Lydia's combat prowess?) Speaking of Wendy.. when are you going to update her looks? If she's from Cyrodil why is she a Nord? Why does she look retarded? Just sayin' she could use a looks update.. I enjoy the treasure hunt from previous versions, I usually didn't even start that quest until I was lvl 20 and higher, I hope you didn't change too much there. I hope you fixed the storage in the home too.. because I've lost a few things in there if they weren't in the chest on the first floor by the stairs. The dressers, the cupboards and end tables upstairs all 'refresh' themselves after a certain period of time, and anything I had put in them disappeared, you may want to look into that, because that's the main reason I usually never lived there once I got Lakeview Manor or Breezehome or whichever homes I added. The chest outside is fine, it never lost anything, nor did the chest by the stairs on the wall shelf, it's just a few other storages that lose things. Love the mod and home though.
I'm sorry to hear you're having some issues with this mod. I've checked the containers in the house (both in the creation kit and ingame for 30 days) and they all work fine. All containers (dressers, cupboards and so on) as well as the entire cell are flagged as "No Respawn" so you shouldn't lose anything. Maybe you have a mod installed that alters the respawn behaviour of cells and/or containers? As for Wendy: I think it's too late to change her look without breaking save games for other people.
I had that issue of containers losing items on previous versions, I haven't tested this new one yet. I discovered Annette the bard in the sewers, she's much better looking than Wendy... Maybe when you update the next big overhaul package Wendy will get some attention?
Hello Wahnfried1883 How are you ? Back using this brilliant home mod again, for my solo play thru, using ver 2.08 love the extras In my wanderings exploring the home the cellar the sewers, I saw a wall the had wide shield plaques on the wall , for when you wanted to place shields, and because now, I want to place one, I'm totally lost trying to find that wall again ? Getting lost is easy in dungeons n such i get turned around easily , xD If anyone else knows what I'm asking and knows where it is , would they mind pointing me in the right directions ;p please ?
Thanks for the reply Wahnfried Found them thank you I get so turned around, I forget which way or what direction I need to go, .. You were right they were Lower rooms- armory ... ty =)
Holy flying cow... @Wahnfried1883 you're a monster!!! This mod is awesome!!!! You know exactly how to make us play skyrim and fell as playing Tomb Raider or Zelda! Great work!!!! Some of the items and followers are a bit overpower (Me Lvl1 + Gardhrill can solo EVERYTHING in this mod, even the final boss!!!). And the last passage is a really pain the in a** to find/open. I needed to go to the detailed walk-through to find it and discover that I messed something and it don't open... Nothing that a "tcl" command don't solve after all...
Hi there! Love your mod and the characters/quests that come along with it. I love the enchantments on items as well, are there ways to learn them ? Like the Odin enchantments? (I'll still name the gear after Odin - I like Norse Mythology)
You should get the ID if you type "help vanfriddh" in the console. Look then for armor in the list. The ID is "xx0135cd" where the "xx" depends on your load order. Hope this helps.
Ok, firstly I've used this mod on many builds and it's awesome :)
However, I've just reverted from AE back to SE(my pc has been getting repaired for a while). I've got all my mods back on but no matter what I do I can't get Riv Man to appear? I had JK's Skyrim and thought that might be causing an exception but I've removed it and still no Riv Man. I'm using V2.02 because I assumed the AE version wasn't compatible. I don't really have any more city mods, just graphics and followers. Any ideas? Am I using the right version?
You must update Skyrim SE to the latest version (currently 1.6.353.0) and have all free DLCs (Fishing, Saints and Seducers, etc.) installed. Otherwise it doesn't work. Also, please use the latest version of the mod (2.0.4). It's all in the sticky post.
Um, that's AE. I don't want AE which is why I've reverted back to SE using the downgrade patcher. I have v1.8 on another pc(daughters) and the mod works fine but that version has been archived and no longer available. How can I get another working SE version? Assuming I've read and understood your reply correctly. By the way, thx for the speedy reply! :)
Sorry but I've made so many important and awesome changes to the mod that I no longer support older versions and there is no way I will be making them available again. If you don't want to update Skyrim to the latest build, unfortunately I can't help you.
Why not just have Steam update your game? It will download all the content you need. Problem solved. If you have bought the Anniversary Edition, it will download all the content of the AE as well, of course. And if I understand you correctly, this is exactly something you don't want. Therefore I can't help you. There are some guides on the internet how to get the old Skyrim SE version 1.5.97 to work with the AE content. Just google for it.
Yep, it's the automatic upgrade I'm worried about. Just strange how the mod works fine on the other PC after using the downgrade patcher from Nexus but on mine it won't. Thx for your help anyway :)
The reason why it works on the other PC is that you are using an older version of the mod (1.8) on this PC, as you have written in one of your posts. That old version doesn't use any content of the Anniversary Edition. Starting with version 2.0.0, I've made extensive changes and used some content from the AE (fish tanks in the house for example). This requires, among other things, the download of the free Fishing DLC, which is only included in the latest Skyrim builds.
wie Du bemerkt hast, gibt es immer noch user welche kein AE wünschen. Mein Grund z.B. ist, dass ich meinen Spieldurchlauf mit DIESEM MEINEM Charakter zu ende spielen möchte. Niemand hat dich gebeten alte Versionen deines Mod noch immer zu supporten. Aber auch ich würde gern noch die Version 1.8 in meinen Spieldurchlauf einfügen. Kannst Du nicht bitte diese Version noch einmal irgendwo bereit stellen? Hier auf Nexus aus der Archivierung befreien, oder z.B. per Google-Drive? Die Version ist doch schließlich existent gewesen.
Sorry, aber ich habe überhaupt kein Interesse daran, ältere Versionen meiner Mod anzubieten. Ich habe seit Version 1.8 unglaublich viele Verbesserungen vorgenommen, neue Inhalte eingefügt und diverse Macken bereinigt. Ich mache mir doch nicht die ganze Arbeit, nur damit Leute eine vollkommen veraltete Version spielen. Wenn Du wirklich mit Deinem aktuellen Charakter und meiner Mod weiterspielen willst, dann aktualisiere meine Mod auf die neueste Version und downgrade Deine Skyrim-Version so, dass sie mit den kostenlosen DLCs der Anniversary Edition kompatibel ist. Gibt dafür einige Anleitungen im Internet. Tut mir leid, dass ich Dir nicht entgegenkommen kann.
Okay, habe meine Meinung geändert und die letzte Version der Mod vor dem AE Update aus dem Archiv befreit (Version 1.9.4). Bitte beachte, dass viele Änderungen, Verbesserungen und Bugfixes in dieser Version noch nicht enthalten sind. Du kannst gerne im Changelog überprüfen, was sich seitdem alles geändert hat.
Okay, I changed my mind and released an older version of this mod (version 1.9.4) from the archive. This was the last version before the AE update took place. Please note that many improvements and bug fixes are not yet included in this version, so use it at your own risk. You may also check the changelog to see what has changed since then.
First it was authors removing and/or hiding mods because the Nexus were being weirdos, and now some authors are making their mods usable only on the Anniversary Edition of the game... This is madness. Is there really no way to download the latest version of this mod before the AE update? I'd love to try it out, but I just downgraded my game to 1.5.97 and have no desire to go through all that again for the 15th time. Having said that, it's really Bethesda's fault for even creating the Anniversary Edition in the first place.
This mod uses some features from the AE update like aquariums from the Fishing DLC. That's why you need to update to the latest version of the game. The whole Anniversary Edition is not required. Apart from that, I see no legal reason for downgrading the game as Steam or Xbox forces you to update the game anyway. The effort to avoid the update every time you launch the game is beyond me. But there are ways to make the 1.5.97 playable with the free AE DLCs. Just google it, but don't expect any support from me for doing so.

I can't tell if this mod is affecting my game but I was hoping to avoid any spoilers. The home in Riverwood and the bridge don't seem to appear. I have been testing it in different places in my load order but it doesn't help. I have Simply Bigger Trees installed which I am thinking may be what is messing with the space it loads into. Is it possible to install this mod mid game? I haven't seen anything saying otherwise but I feel it may be that?

I am extremely stupid.
