💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2013, check if you're on Skyrim Special Edition—you may need to port it or find an updated version.
  • If you use a mod manager, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
  • Visit the location south of Falkreath to find the castle—it's not marked on the map until you discover it.
