DESCRIPTION
This is an expansion overhaul of Kolskeggr Mine. It will turn Kolskeggr Mine from being the boring and uninteresting place that you ignored as you are passing by into a place that you will go out of your way to visit. Kolskeggr Mine is the only gold mine in Skyrim. However, it is one of the least interesting places to come across. Once the related quest is completed, the area is likely forgotten and ignored for the rest of the game. The goal of the Forsworn is to take over the mine, yet they only have three people guarding the exterior of the gold mine. This mod will add some believability, beauty, life, activity, and interest to the area. It is customizable. You can have the area looking very vanilla or looking great with the new tree and fountain. Three additional Forsworn have been added to make it seem like they are actually living there now. Unlike the original three who only patrols, these will actually do some work. This will make reclaiming Kolskeggr a bit more challenging. A Forsworn respawn fix has been added to the mod because the new Forsworn won't be covered by other fixes. This mod also fixes other bugs and addresses some inconsistencies in the lore. Both Gat gro-Shargakh and Pavo state that they are the only ones that made it out alive and that everyone else was killed. Where are the victims? When alive, did all those people live inside Pavo's tiny house that only has two beds, three chairs, and a bench? Gat gro-Shargakh states that he had to kill in order to escape. Where is the evidence? Pavo is the owner of a gold mine, yet his house is nothing more than a shack. Most commoners and farmers live in better houses. This mod provides evidence to support the lore, improves the the mine, improves Pavo's house, and adds two new buildings. The population of Kolskeggr has been increased from three (two miners and a guard) to 18.
The Miner's Hall is home to four miners, a blacksmith, and a housekeeper/cook. The mine's warehouse doubles as the general store and is operated by two merchants. Random travellers will stop by the area during the evening hours and travel the road during the day. There's even a guard dog to help keep watch. All the new NPC's have multiple AI packages which will greatly improve immersion. Even the AI packages of Gat gro-Shargakh and Pavo have been improved. They will visit the Miner's Hall for dinner, spend time outside their house, and go fishing on the weekends. As the owner of the mine, Pavo will check on the warehouse once a week. Miners won't work non-stop like robots and then just go to bed. They will now take breaks, eat dinner, and some will even visit the store. Every area is properly NavMeshed and new idles have been added. The area across from Pavo's house has been turned into a small rest area where weary travellers can take a break. The guard at the mine entrance will now also patrol inside the mine, and two additional guards have been added to patrol the roads. Kolskeggr is a gold mine and should have the level of security that shows it. Even with three guards, casualties can still occur. While most of the new unique NPCs are essential, the random NPCs are meant to be expendable, and two of the followers are only protected. A NPC protection mod is highly recommended to protect Gat gro-Shargakh and Pavo if you want to keep them alive. When you first visit Kolskeggr Mine, the Miner's Hall is just a blacksmith's house and the general store is just a warehouse. You will not be able to enter these houses at the beginning. When the mine starts running, the new blacksmith and housekeeper will show up a start cleaning up. At this time, Pavo will send word to have new miners and his new dog to come to Kolskeggr Mine. When the Miner's Hall opens, go inside. When you come back out, the two NPCs that are in charge of the warehouse would have completed turning it into a general store. The clean up of the rest of the hamlet will also be finished and the store will be open. Go inside the store to advance the stage. If both Pavo and Gat don't survive the trip or die later, a new thane will take over the mine. The new thane will take over Pavo's house and is a potential follower and spouse. There are also two other followers willing to join you after you completed a simple unnamed quest. With the new NPCs and services, Kolskeggr is now a place worth stopping by when you're in the area. This is a light plugin (ESPFE/esl flagged) and will not take up any of the 254 esm/esp slots. It is a clean and stable mod that can be added or removed at anytime.
You ruined the Forsworn's plan to take over Kolskeggr and use the gold mine to fund their rebellion. Do you really think they will just let it go? In version 3.2 and later, they will send people to ambush you. This will be a challenging a rewarding boss fight. It may be a bit difficult at low levels, but should be possible. This was tested with a level 14 character wearing steel armor. If you find the fight to be too difficult, you either have to use a better fighting strategy or ask a follower for help. This unnamed quest will unlock the three followers, but the thane will require you to also do a favor before he is willing to join you.
FEATURES
REQUIREMENTS
The main mod only requires Skyrim SE
Enhanced Landscapes is required for KolskeggrMiningHamlet - EL
Farmhouse Chimneys is required for KolskeggrMH-FHC
Houses Shops and Inns SE is required for KolskeggrMiningHamlet - HSI and KolskeggrMiningHamlet - HSI Basic
Skyrim AE or CC Fishing is required for KolskeggrMH-Fishing
Sounds of Skyrim Complete SE is required for KolskeggrMiningHamlet-SOS
INSTALLATION AND USAGE
Add the contents of archive to the Data directory manually or with a mod manager. Make a clean save before enabling the mod if you are adding the mod midplaythrough. Sort your load order. Enable the mod and play. The use of KolskeggrForswornFix from Kolskeggr Miner's Hall to prevent the Forsworn from respawning is no longer needed. USSEP's Forsworn respawn fix will be overwritten by this mod's fix. KolskeggrPatrolGuard from Kolskeggr Miner's Hall can be use to provide a sixth guard. Do not use this with the main Kolskeggr Miner's Hall.
The new NPCs and some changes to the hamlet do not appear right away. The hamlet will go though four stages of change. You will not be able to enter the new buildings at stage zero. Stage one occurs when Pavo, Gat, or Thane Battig enters the mine entrance on your visit to the area. This will occur randomly. It may occur right away or not at all if it's raining. You can enter the Miner's Hall after stage one occurs and someone is inside. Stage two occurs when you enter the Miner's Hall. You can enter the store after stage two occurs. Stage three occurs when you enter the store. Stage four occurs when you defeat the three bosses. Go around the exterior and interiors after each stage to get the best experience. This mod does not contain any script, so the stage changes can not be done by the passage of time. Except for stage one, you must trigger the other stages.
KolskeggrMiningHamlet - EL
Compatibility patch for Enhanced Landscapes. Load after Enhanced Landscapes. It is a light plugin (ESPFE/esl flagged) and will not take up any of the 254 esm/esp slots. It can be added or removed at anytime.

You can use Fish Anywhere With Water to fish at a different spot with a different view. Fishing items have also been added to some interiors to improve the decor. This add-on requires both CC Fishing and Kolskeggr Mining Hamlet v4.0 or later and must load after them. It is a light plugin (ESPFE/esl flagged) and will not take up any of the 254 esm/esp slots. It can be added or removed at anytime.
KolskeggrMH-FHC

UPDATING
Method One:
General updating procedure for mods with minor updates (reference additions, but no reference changes). Make a clean save. Note the load order position of the old mod. Uninstall the old mod. Install the updated mod. Place the updated mod at the same load order position as the old mod. Enable the mod and play.
Method Two:
General updating procedure for mods with major updates (reference changes, switching to esl/ESPFE or compacted mods). Remove all personal items that are in containers from the mod. Remove all personal items that are in the new areas from the mod. Remove any unique item from the mod from your inventory if possible. Make a clean save. Exit the game. Note the load order position of the old mod. Uninstall the old mod. Start the game without the new mod and make another save. Exit the game. Install the updated mod. Place the updated mod at the same load order position as the old mod. Enable the mod and play.
If you are updating to v4.0 or if you are upgrading from Kolskeggr Miner's Hall, use method two. Note that patches that are specific to Kolskeggr Miner's Hall will not work with Kolskeggr Mining Hamlet. Patches that are independent will work if they do not conflict. If you have already completed the quest, you will need to revisit Kolskeggr, allow Pavo or Gat to trigger stage one, then visit the Miner's Hall, and then visit Golden Ore Goods. The Forsworn will respawn until stage one is triggered. Be prepare to fight to prevent Pavo or Gat from dying if you are not using a NPC protection mod. All other NPCs either can't be kill or will respawn. When updating patches or files from the optional section, it's best to use method one. However, for minor updates, you can simply replace the old plugin with the new.
UNINSTALLING

Click the spoiler tag and read what's below if you're having issues or just want to be smarter. Most of your questions related to the mod are probably already answered here.
Spoiler:
The stage changes in Kolskeggr Mining Hamlet are all changes that can realistically be done in a day or may take longer if they are put off. Regardless of how you go about doing the quest or how often and when you visit Kolskeggr, all the stage changes are done is such a way as to still be believable.
When deciding between Kolskeggr Mining Hamlet and Kolskeggr Miner's Hall, take note of the following. Kolskeggr Miner's Hall is an add-on expansion of Kolskeggr Mine. It is designed to work on its own or with other mods. It is designed to be highly compatible not just with current mods but also with future mods as well. Kolskeggr Mining Hamlet is an expansion overhaul of Kolskeggr Mine. Overhauls, unlike add-ons, are not overly designed to be compatible with everything. They make more changes and have more features.
Normally, a settlement this small wouldn't have a general store. The store would go out of business within half a year due to lack of customers. The reason this store can exists is because it it a warehouse that is doubling as a store and it is on a main road close to the capital. If you are paying people to watch and manage the warehouse, why not have them sell stuff on the side to make extra money. The two NPCs that manages the warehouse and store wear armor and not merchant clothes because they are responsible for the security of the building. They are part of the guard faction and will help guard the area. Their levels are higher than the other residents, but not by much. Having essential NPCs at very high levels would create too much imbalance in gameplay.
Although the bath doesn't have any soap, the hamlet sells the necessary ingredients to make soap.
Until the related quest is completed, two of the the miners and the thane will be inside Left Hand Mine, the dog will be at Markarth Stables, and the other NPCs will be hidden.
If the blacksmith and housekeeper aren't appearing and Pavo and Gat are at the smelter, you will need to update using method two but without actually updating the mod. Basically, disable the mod, save, then enable the mod. If you have already completed the quest, you will need to revisit Kolskeggr, allow Pavo or Gat to trigger stage one, then visit the Miner's Hall, and then visit Golden Ore Goods. The Forsworn will respawn until stage one is triggered. Be prepare to fight to prevent Pavo or Gat from dying if you are not using a NPC protection mod.
The four merchants and the dog are essential. The guards, random miners, and travelers are not. This will allow for casualties without losing services.
The blacksmith will only buy and sell when he is near the blacksmith area. This is intentional. He will also sell gold ores.
Navarre and Isa are references to characters from the movie Ladyhawke. Battig and Pris are references to characters from the movie Blade Runner. Batty and Navarre were both played by the late Rutger Hauer.
Navarre and Pris will follow you after the briarheart Black Thorn is killed. Battig will follow you after Black Thorn is killed and you sell him some ores or maybe if you marry him.
Navarre is a Companion and will visit Jorrvaskr on the weekends. He may even show up at Kodlak's funeral. His AI package will work with Open Cities.
The hall is open all the time after stage one. Food and drinks are serve whenever Pris or Valery is inside. It's not an inn. If you want a place to sleep, go to an inn or sleep in the hay pile in the mine. You can also sleep on the guest bed in Pavo's house if he or Gat is home. The general store and blacksmith hours are 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
The hamlet is customizable. Some options can be toggle off to have a more vanilla look.
Pavo's house looked too much like a shack next to the Miner's Hall, so it got an overhaul. It's not that the Miner's Hall is extremely great looking, it's more because Pavo's house doesn't look like a house befitting the owner of a gold mine. The roof over the porch and the lantern can be toggled off by activating the hammer on the crate in the blacksmith area. The interior changes can not be toggle like in KolskeggrMinersHall-KOPH.
Both the tree and fountain in the rest area can be toggle. Toggle the tree on or off by activating the saw on the crate in the blacksmith area. Toggle the fountain by activating the bucket on the crate in the blacksmith area.
Save your game after toggling anything, as Skyrim can occasionally crash after something is disabled. This is a Skyrim issue and not a mod issue. If it does crash, it will occur within the first few seconds the player is in range of the cell where the objects were disabled. If it doesn't crash within that time, it will not crash later. This type of crash will not be passed on to your save, so there's no need to worry that your game will crash upon loading the save.
This mod now has a built-in Forsworn respawn fix, but a NPC protection mod is still highly recommended to protect Pavo and Gat. Some mods add hostile spawns to the area. Protection for the other NPCs is not needed. The new NPCs have combat packages that have been carefully tweaked to be fair and balanced. Their frost spells should slow down the attackers and minimize casualties. The miners, travellers, hunters, and town guards are meant to be expendable because they will respawn. The other NPC's are essential.
Use No Grassias and/or No Grass In Objects if you have grass clipping issues around the bench by the bridge when using a grass mod.
Some of the new NPCs have random outfits. The blacksmith will randomly wear the white or red blacksmith's outfit. The miners will randomly wear the white or brownish miner's outfit. The food vendor will randomly wear merchant's or cook's outfits.
This mod was inspired in part by Settlements Expanded. If this mod isn't to your liking, try that mod instead. This mod wouldn't have been created if that mod was modular. The Miner's Hall is place at the same location as the blacksmith's house from Settlements Expanded. This was done for compatibility reasons. If new mods are created to be compatible with one mod, there is a higher chance that they will be compatible with the other mods as well. While the main mod is not compatible with Settlements Expanded, the standalone options from Kolskeggr Miner's Hall are. This was by design. This way, you can have the best modded Kolskeggr regardless of which mod you use.
There are a lot of confusion about esl and mod limits, so here is a brief summary.
There are a total of 256 slots in the game. This is the case with Morrowind and Oblivion as well. Of the 256 slots, one is reserved for the ess file. This leaves 255 slots for esm/esp files. 255 is the esm/esp limit, not the mod limit. Some mods do not take up any slots. The five official masters are part of the game and shouldn't be consider mods. Therefore, the esm/esp mod limit is actually 250. It has often been stated that esl and esl flagged esp files do not take up a slot. That is incorrect. Using one or more esl or esl flagged esp file will reduce the 255 esm/esp slot limit to 254.
