📋 About This Mod

Disband the Thieves Guild (new mod see video below) is Uploaded here. !!!NEW!!!. KE7pJl8Tl84 This is a WIP, made by me. It's based of my other mod Destroy the Thieves Guild and provides a more peaceful (ahem, cough brawling cough) solution to deal with the Thieves Guild in Riften : instead of killing them all, you can place them behind bars, but you have to do this on your own because the guards have been bribed by Maven Black-Briar.

I will be further improving the WIP - Disband the Thieves Guild before releasing it to the public but you can sign up for a beta by sending me a PM. ------------------------------------------------------------ Important --------------

To avoid bugs, you need to have the latest patch of Skyrim installed (currently 1. 8. 151. 0). This mod isn't compatible with mods which alters the Thieves Guild questline (even minor changes like TG mods from Kryptopyr). This mod is also incompatible with mods which alters locations like Nightingale Hall, Snow Veil Sanctum, Thieves Guild Ratway and Cistern and the Twilight Sepulcher and quests like TG09, (TG09Post is duplicated, so no incompability here), TGPost, TG00, TG00MiscHandler, TGCrown. ------------------------------------------------------------- Good news, Gopher made a review of this mod :

Thank you, Gopher.

New feature update 1. 2. 1 -------------------------------- If you have already played the Destroy the Thieves Guild quest (so after you have reported back to Mjoll and received a reward), you can still enjoy the new features of the updates by typing this in the console : setstage tgdestroyfailsafe 1. This will make Goldenglow Estate and Mercer Frey's house (shoot the ramp as you normally do in the vanilla quest The Pursuit, side gate remains locked, take the rear gate) accessible, enables Valentina, enables the button on the crypt and enables the Thieves Guild map marker.

I've made a optional update, which allows you to turn off the Odahviing requirement for killing Maven. Use the Destroy the Thieves Guild Configuration power, you get this power at the same time as the reward for Destroying the Thieves Guild, if you have already reported back to Mjoll and don't have this power, use the setstage tgdestroyfailsafe 1 command. Read the ingame EULA carefully before accepting. ----------------------------------------------------------
