Pretty much everything
Technical Note
You can install this mod right before you turn in the quest to ranger Jackson and uninstall it right after, this mod only alters that little bit.
This mod does not delete, alter or add any NPCs, factions or scripts, it only deletes the activation of a vanilla script.
