Were you installing this mid save? Which cheat are you using to raise yourself to level 20? Not all of them are necessarily the same. I am not modding (and playing) as much as I used to so my help will be minimal, unfortunately.
Im max level and never got the book, MCM shows the mod installed and spawning the book does nothing. Quest doesn't start. If I spawn the note then the quest starts but it also starts with me needing to see "someone looking for me in Whiterun". I talk to the NPC in Whiterun but he does nothing at all. I go to Helgen and the bandits are there but when I go inside the Keep its Imperials and no val. If I COC into the Keep then Val shows up. Even after completeting the 1st quest Im still needed in Whiterun by the NPC that has the note for me.
Thank god for saves. Not sure what the hell is wrong but for me its not working.
Since you are using this mid save and max level, I would try it in a new save to double check if this mod is working in your playthrough. IIRC if you level up I believe the quest registers, something you wouldn't be able to do at max lvl.
I think I found the issue. For some reason Alternate Perspective - Alternate Start or one of its patches isn't playing nice with Helgen Reborn or this mod.
Some of the destroyed buildings still have doors and if you click on one it takes you to the perfect interior cell as if nothing ever happened. I think this is why I have a mix of Imperial Guards and Bandits just hanging out together. Also why the keep seems to have 2 completely different active cells depending on where or how you enter the cell.
Hmm, was the quest requirement ticked in the MCM for my mod? That's the only reason that I can think of on the top of my head for compat between my mod and Alternate Perspective for my mod to not work correctly. I currently stopped playing Bethesda games for a while now, I don't have time so I can't troubleshoot it on my end..
I think thanks to this mod adding a level requirement and dropping the quest requirement, I can use ezPGs/Redux SE which were known to have conflicts with Helgen reborn, due to both editing the intro quest. Thanks!
SSEEdit reports an error relating to a quest alias ("Warning: Quest Alias not found ..."). Should this be something to worry about?
EDIT: Turns out to be a load order issue. Make sure that this patch does not get overwritten by other mods, e.g. the Alternate Perspective - Helgen Reborn patch. This must load after all those mods.
After reading that mods description, there are some slight conflicts with this mod. This mod already provides a level requirement (and quest requirement if that is your take). If you want an immersive start with HR there is a mod that is dependent on this (check requirements tab, on mobile right now) that provides an immersive gameplay to HR. Though HR to be compatible with alternative perspective I could see why you would want that patch. I don't plan on adding patches as of this moment, work put me in a knot.
Sorry to bug, but I unknowingly had this issue, and am now level 50 without Helgen Reborn properly starting. I have since corrected the load order, but still need some fixing. I got the startup guide, read the book and completed the startup quest, but am not getting anything for starting the "Desperate Times" quest. Are there any console commands I can run to correct this, or am I locked out of restoring Helgen in this run?
Well... it does actually work but it does not set the req before you play... so you have to set the req in a save(or even in the intro bugged looking at the shovel) and then go to the main menu and pressing new game again... then it will work... I even made a mod to add the setting before, but since ot need to load in the mcm I ended up having to press new game, watch the bugged shovel for a few seconds then goind to main menu and oressing new game again...
Hmm that is a strange issue... The quest should have been restricted to level 20 by default without you needing to change the config. Are you using any other Helgen Reborn addons?
Again I don't know why that is happening for you. I have it working normally with a new MO2 profile, with only these mods: lite loader for skyrim version 1.5, skse, address library, skyui, mcm helper v1.4, helgen reborn, and this mod (nothing in overwrite). This is also for a new game. Legendary cart scene below.

This is the default settings that should happen. You may have other mods that may alter either vanilla quest stages or Helgen Reborn. Edit: Are you by any chance starting Helgen Reborn after the starting scene (IIRC this was recommended by Helgen Reborn if not using alternative start mods since the starting scene is buggy as heck)?
No, I started a new game to try Helgen Reborn...and sadly it bugs out...I do not know why...I have no other mod that would change Helgen. But I have many mods, maybe, since the mcm takes some seconds to load, if you have just a few mods , it is fast enough to not bug out the cart scene...but if it takes time to finally load this mod here it will bugout...at least that is my theory.
Yes, you do need the MCM helper mod for this mod, it's a hard requirement. I haven't played skyrim for a long time so Idk what the issues are for both pre ae and ae.
Yes. Tested with "Alternate Start - Live Another Life" and "At Your Own Pace" and works fine up until the receiving the book from the courier. Also works for vanilla start. The person you're supposed to meet in the Drunken Huntsman will not show up until you've read the mod's Guide book so was free to use their services without fear of triggering any Helgen Reborn related quest.
Note: Still need to heed the book's advice to make sure that the bandits have shown up in Helgen at least once before entering the Drunken Huntsman after you've read the book the courier brings you.
Thank you! I'm about 40 hours into my current playthrough, but I'm scrapping it and starting over with Helgen Reborn installed (because I don't like adding mods--especially BIG ones--partway through).
I have the alternate start mod. The helgen reborn mcm menu isn't showing up in my list. setstage ski_configmanagerinstance 1 isn't working and I have jaxonx mcm kicker installed for a previous mod and the mcm helper installed and I have this mod requiring helgen reborn and mcm helper on my vortex list. Should I have them in a certain load order? If so, what would that be? Much help would be appreciated.
so does this mean that I can start a new game with HR plugin enabled and not mess it up? as the mod author says to turn the HR pugin back on after leaving the cave with Ralof/Hadvar which I'm guessing if u have the plugin installed upon a new playthru that means the quest wont show up?

Update: Started a new file and cheated to raise stats up to 20 and still nadda. I also don't have ANY mods that affect Helgen.
Which cheat are you using to raise yourself to level 20? Not all of them are necessarily the same. I am not modding (and playing) as much as I used to so my help will be minimal, unfortunately.
