📋 About This Mod
Description:
The College Curriculum mod uses a trigger box around the College that automatically adds all of its quests as soon as the player enters its bounds, regardless of their status in the College.
This patch will only add these quests AFTER the player has actually become a student.
Requirements:
College Curriculum
Recommended:
College Curriculum - Grammar Typo and Inconsistency Fixes
Open College (Or any other mod that lets you enter the College without being a student)
Changes:
Simply adds a faction check for the College of Winterhold to each quest in College Curriculum.
You may need to enter/exit the College before all the quests are added.
If you also use the College Curriculum - Grammar Typo and Inconsistency Fixes mod, this patch inherits some (not all) of its changes as well.
Update History:
v1. 0. 0:
- Initial Release
Installation:
Install manually, or just use your favorite mod manager.
Plugin is ESL flagged.
Load Order:
When in doubt, just use LOOT.
If you also use the College Curriculum - Grammar Typo and Inconsistency Fixes mod, load this patch AFTER.
Compatibility:
Should be compatible with everything.
If you also use the College Curriculum - Grammar Typo and Inconsistency Fixes mod, load this patch AFTER.
If you use Mysticism - A Magic Overhaul, a version is provided that maintains compatibility for its Invisibility spell.
As far as I know, no other magic mods require a patch for this.
Technically incompatible with At Your Own Pace - College of Winterhold.
That mod will allow the player to do the entire College questline, without being a student.
However, the player is added to the College faction when doing these quests anyway.
So, the College Curriculum quests will begin regardless.
I thought about editing this patch to check for completion of the First Lessons quest,
but AYOP completes that quest even if you don't become a student.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tightens roleplay by gating quests behind actual College membership.
- Decent community trust for a patch (104 endorsements).
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects College Curriculum quests, so it's a narrow fix.
- May conflict with other mods that alter College quest start conditions.
- No updates since December 2022—could be outdated for newer Skyrim versions.
For Skyrim players who want a more logical quest progression and don't mind a small patch. If you're a completionist who likes to do College quests early, this might annoy you. Skip if you prefer unrestricted quest access or use mods that overhaul the College questline.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Load this patch after any mods that alter College quests to ensure the requirement applies.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting conflicts.
- Check your load order with LOOT to make sure this patch is sorted correctly.
