📋 About This Mod
Upon entering Solitude, you are greeted by a newcomer requesting for your help in clearing out a cave with some new inhabitants. Where did these beasts come from, and what does this woman who approached to you have to do with it?
Curse of the Hound Amulet is a project I've been extremely hard on since September. This quest mod plus this diorama I created for my Senior Capstone project! This mod is also my first ever quest mod and environment that I've created for Skyrim. I'm super proud to have it done finally and being able to deliver on everything I intended to do, back when I first pitched it.

[]Start the quest by going to Solitude
[]Recommended level at least 25
[]The cave is near Volskygge, in the mountains west of Solitude.
[]You can bring other followers along, but they're likely to get in the way or accidentally hit Cara
[]If you hit Cara while she is following you and she attacks, put your weapon away and she'll stop
[]If Cara won't speak to after you clear the cave, quicksave and reload
[]If you have the Open Cities mod or a mod editing Solitude, console add Cara by typing "help caraleth 4" to find her ID and then using "player.placeatme xxxxxx 1" EDIT: bewareofthesnowman has created an Open Cities patch: Patch Link

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,359 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads.
- Adds a full quest with new enemies, gear, and hair—plenty of bang for your buck.
- Still relevant years after last update, showing it's a solid, stable addition.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—might have compatibility issues with the latest Skyrim patches.
- No detailed walkthrough or feature list provided, so you're going in blind.
- Quest mods can sometimes conflict with other mods that alter the same cave or NPCs.
For Skyrim players who want a fresh quest with new loot and enemies without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist looking for new armor and weapons to collect, this is a good pick. Skip if you prefer lore-heavy, voice-acted quests—this one's description is pretty bare-bones.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- Check your load order—place this mod after other quest mods to avoid conflicts.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, make sure the mod is compatible with your version; the 2021 update might be for the older edition.
