📋 About This Mod
As many of you know- finding the Crimson Nirnroots in Blackreach takes FOREVER. This mod helps ease your suffering by adding approximately 16 more to Blackreach that are grouped with original Crimson Nirnroots and are outside Sinderion's Field Laboratory.
I didn't want to take away from the fact that this is a real quest by placing all 30 Crimson Nirnroots right outside/inside the laboratory but I also didn't want to continue my own 30 minute search for them. All the mod does is add more plants near the old ones and a few outside the laboratory as well as one inside.
Don't use the mod elsewhere or change it without permission from me and always give credit!
A small quest mod that adds approximately 16 extra Crimson Nirnroot plants to Blackreach, grouped with the originals to speed up the tedious collection quest. For Skyrim players who want to cut down on searching time. Simple and focused, with 295 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real pain point—Blackreach's Crimson Nirnroot hunt is a slog, and this cuts it down significantly
- Community-approved with 295 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, so it's been tested by many players
- Simple and lightweight—no new areas or complex scripts, just extra plants in existing spots
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition updates
- Only adds plants to Blackreach—if you wanted new locations or a different quest approach, this isn't it
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter Blackreach's cell or plant placements
For Skyrim players who dread the 'A Return To Your Roots' quest and just want to get it done faster. If you're a completionist who hates backtracking through Blackreach, this is a must-have. Skip if you're looking for a full quest overhaul or new content—this is purely a quality-of-life tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure to grab the SE version of this mod, as the original may not work without conversion
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's a simple plugin, but a manager keeps your load order clean
- The new plants are grouped with the originals, so follow the usual Crimson Nirnroot locations and you'll find them faster
