📋 About This Mod
For me, none of the objects in Hjerim could be interacted with during the "look for clues" part of the quest. When I went into the Creation Kit, it turned out that all of the scripts from the investigation triggers had become detached so I re-attached them. I also stopped the quest marker from constantly pointing at Jorleif when he had nothing to say.
As said in the edit, this mod is largely unnecessary so unless you still have problems after following the stickied post you can skip it. I'm leaving this up so anyone who runs into the same problems as I did can use the comments to help fix them, but the files themselves are not needed.
A discontinued hotfix for Skyrim's 'Blood On The Ice' quest that re-attaches detached investigation trigger scripts in Hjerim and stops the quest marker from pointing at Jorleif. The author notes it's largely unnecessary now, but the files remain for reference. 337 endorsements and 5,152 downloads show it helped many players.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixed a real, game-breaking bug for many players (337 endorsements, 5,152 downloads).
- Targeted fix that addresses a specific quest-breaking issue without overhauling anything else.
- Author left it up with comments for troubleshooting, even though files aren't needed anymore.
⚠️ Cons
- Discontinued and officially unnecessary—you're better off following the stickied post instead.
- Only fixes one specific issue; if your problem differs, this won't help.
- Old mod (last updated 2019) and may conflict with other mods that alter the Blood On The Ice quest.
For Skyrim players who still hit the broken clue interaction in Hjerim and haven't found a fix elsewhere. Skip if you're on a modern setup or using quest overhaul mods—this is a legacy band-aid.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Special Edition, this mod is for Oldrim—check for a port or use the stickied post fix instead.
- Load this mod late in your load order to override any conflicting quest edits.
- Since it's discontinued, read the comments section for user-tested workarounds if the files don't work for you.
