📋 About This Mod
Moves the note and activator that starts the quest "A Soul Divided" to one of the wooden pillars outside of the canal so you aren't forced to start the quest if you want to enter the ratway. Also disables the ghost and trigger box until you interact with the activator so that the quest doesn't start when you enter the room where the ghost normally is. (ESL Flagged)
Also now included is a patch for Rebalancing Anniversary Edition - Quest Requirements that way the note only shows up at whatever level you set it to and will still be moved to the different spot.
Recommended to install the unofficial patch for Dawnfang & Duskfang
This patch for Skyrim's Creation Club content moves the Dawnfang and Duskfang note from the Ratway entrance to a wooden pillar outside in the canal, and disables the ghost and quest trigger until you read the note. It's for players who want to start the quest on their own terms without being forced into it.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 834 endorsements and over 829k downloads—clearly a popular fix.
- Stops the forced quest trigger, letting you explore the Ratway without being dragged into the quest.
- Simple, clean patch that does exactly what it says with no extra bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates, though it's likely fine for most.
- Only affects the quest start; if you wanted more changes to the quest itself, this isn't it.
- Requires the Creation Club content to be installed, so it's useless if you don't own that DLC.
For Skyrim players who own the Dawnfang and Duskfang Creation Club content but hate being forced into the quest when entering the Ratway. Also great for roleplayers who want to discover the quest naturally. Skip if you don't have the CC content or don't mind the original trigger.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Dawnfang and Duskfang Creation Club content installed, or this patch won't do anything.
- Place the mod file in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
- If you're using other mods that alter the Ratway area, load this patch after them to ensure the changes stick.
