📋 About This Mod

A COMPLETE overhaul of "Dampened Spirits." Kill Sabjorn and Mallus anytime, rat Mallus out, protect Sabjorn from prison, confront Maven, ... And a lot more!

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Dampened Spirits Plus Plus is a quest overhaul for Skyrim's Thieves Guild quest 'Dampened Spirits,' adding 200+ spliced dialogue lines, choice-driven scenes, and non-essential NPCs. The mod is no longer supported, as its features are merged into Thieves Guild Plus Plus. It offers extensive roleplay options, including alternate quest paths and consequences.

✨ Key Features

Adds 200+ new dialogue lines voiced with spliced vanilla lines
New scenes that depend on player choices during the quest
Mallus Maccius and Sabjorn are made non-essential from the start of the game
Sabjorn's letter is present from the start, hidden behind a pickable lock, with keys on Sabjorn
Multiple alternate paths: start tasting without poisoning, convince Sabjorn to cancel tasting, rat Mallus to Sabjorn, persuade or threaten Sabjorn
Confront Maven Black-Briar, leading to a trial in the Cistern or convincing the Guild to stop working with her

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Deep roleplay potential with 200+ new lines and branching scenes
  • Makes quest NPCs non-essential, allowing for more organic outcomes
  • Community-tested with 98 endorsements and 5,146 downloads

⚠️ Cons

  • No longer supported by the author; features are merged into Thieves Guild Plus Plus
  • Using both mods will cause conflicts, so you must choose one
  • Compatibility risk with other Thieves Guild overhauls or mods that alter quest scripts
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who love the Thieves Guild and want a more reactive, roleplay-heavy version of 'Dampened Spirits.' If you enjoy multiple solutions and consequences for your choices, this is a must-try. Skip if you prefer a more linear quest experience or if you already use Thieves Guild Plus Plus.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is no longer supported, check if Thieves Guild Plus Plus is a better fit for your load order.
  • If you use a mod manager, install this mod manually to avoid overwriting files from other quest overhauls.
  • Make a save before starting the quest to test different outcomes without replaying the whole game.
