## Lite Version
Many years later I was not happy with my own mod so have refreshed the experience.
Now requires all DLC's and includes latest unofficial patch updates where cross changes existed.
Additionally lots of other bugs have been fixed with increased compatibility with other mods.
The quests now start and match more closely with their vanilla journal entries.
Overall the mod is simplified, easier to start/stumble onto the quests but is closer to the vanilla experience without the spam.
Rumors have a chance to run but will still popup early on, but if that is too early you can optionally enable level requirements before rumors show. This is based on the order DLCs originally released for that classic experience.
- Horse Armor
- Must wait until you hear by rumor that will give you the note.
- (Optional) level 3
- Orrery
- Rumor and note can be provided from Mages Guild members or you can directly speak to Bothiel.
- Fixes so Bothiel doesn't believe you have already discussed the list before.
- Recommend you use unofficial patch as then it doesn't matter if you completed this before or after the Mages Necromancer Moon quest.
- (Optional) level 3
- Wizards Tower
- Sleep after joining Mages Guild as an associate, deed is mysteriously delivered to you.
- Fast travel is disabled until you initially travel to home like the rest of the DLCs.
- (Optional) level 5

- (Optional) level 5
- Mehrunes Razor

- Fast travel is disabled until you initially travel to home like the rest of the DLCs.
- (Optional) level 10
- Knights of the Nine
- The church is not initially destroyed at the start of the game. Must wait until you hear rumor outside Anvil at which point church is now destroyed.
- Includes attempted fix for bug that can prevent the corpses in Anvil Church not appearing if the cell has been reset.
- This could happen in vanilla too but was exposed more often in the mod.
- (Optional) level 15
- Battlehorn Castle
- Must wait until you hear by rumor. (Optional) level 12
- Or you can head directly over to the castle yourself without the rumor.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 2,445 endorsements and 129k downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance for players who hate the constant plugin pop-ups.
- Simple concept that does exactly what it says—no bloat, just fixes the prompt spam.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is cut off mid-sentence, so exact plugin coverage isn't fully clear.
- Last updated in March 2023—may not cover the newest official plugins added since then.
- Requires manual management of plugin start times, which might confuse new players.
For players who start new games often and are tired of the official plugin pop-ups interrupting their flow. Also great for modders who want to control when DLC content activates for a more curated playthrough. Skip if you don't mind the default plugin prompts or rarely start new games.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the ESPs in your game's Data folder and enable them in your mod manager or launcher.
- After installing, start a new game and check that no official plugin pop-ups appear—if they do, double-check the ESPs are active.
- If you're using a mod manager, make sure the load order places these ESPs correctly, though they should work without special ordering.
