CIVIL WAR OVERHAUL - Redux

For Skyrim Special/Anniversay Edition

This mod attempts to bring new life into the frankly bllshit Civil War questline. This mod is based off of the original Civil War Overhaul by Apollodown. I have gone and rebuilt the mod from the ground up, hopefully adding a lot of support and stability in addition to many enhancements to deliver an improved experience but also sticking to the vision of the original mod.

But First a Warning:

Skyrim's Civil War is the most script heavy and problematic piece of the game (hence why so much of it was cut). This mod does its best to fix things while also adding a lot of other neat things but there is only so much lip-stick I can slather on this pig. To that end, I am stealing this list of tips from nexus user Enodoc on Tips for an Efficient and Effective Civil War. PLEASE HEED THIS ADVICE:

• []From the Battle of Whiterun until after the Battle of Solitude or Windhelm, make sure that you SAVE OFTEN.

  []Don’t travel directly from one Civil War objective to the next. If you go too fast, you’ll overtake the Civil War script, and things may start breaking - garrisons not changing ownership, quests and missions not starting, etc. If a quest or mission does not start within 60 seconds, and there’s no notification saying it failed, it’s likely the script is hanging. If you’re inside a palace or longhouse, leave the interior; if you’re at a military camp, fast travel to the camp’s map marker. (Forcing the game through a loading screen usually frees up the scripts.)

  []The MCM option has been provided to 'Get CWO Unstuck'. Utilize it if you think that something is not working.

  []Always keep a backup save from before the Battle for Whiterun (and don’t delete it until after the Battle for Windhelm or Battle for Solitude).

  []If a Failed to Start notification appears for a siege, or something doesn’t work as expected or otherwise intended, stop. As they say in Morrowind, “Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”

  Before the Battle for Whiterun Quest

  [*]Cities and military camps will have a small chance of containing spies. Spies will seek out an assassination target before vanishing into the night (or day... It doesn't matter they have a potion of invisiblity). Before the Civil War since you have not picke
