📋 About This Mod
DLC Integration SE
DLC Integration SE is a mod that enhances the game world with content from Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn. It requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch. If you have the Legendary Edition, download the mod here. To install, use a mod manager or copy the .esp and mesh to Skyrim's Data folder.
This mod is also available on Bethesda.net for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.

[]1/8 of all bandit archers use crossbows rather than bows. Steel appears starting at level 6 and Dwarven starts at level 19, but with only a 1/6 chance. The enhanced variants and exploding bolts are still a Dawnguard specialty. These enemies drop up to 15 Steel or Dwarven bolts, but have an infinite supply like all archers unless you disable that through Skyrim.ini or another mod.
[]Crossbows and bolts are found in bandit loot, but this is uncommon. It makes sense that most crossbows bandits obtain will be equipped, not stored in a chest somewhere. To be exact, 1/110 of all loot weapons are crossbows and another 1/110 are bolts.
[]Reavers on Solstheim use these leveled lists, so crossbows can be found there as well (this is not a change, but a result of the previous two features).
[]Dragonbone weapons are found in leveled lists starting at level 50, but 1/20 as often as other weapons. These appear in the same lists as Daedric weapons, though not all of them.
[]Yellow mountain flowers can be grown in the garden or greenhouse of player-built homes.
[]The Shellbug Helmet requires the Advanced Armors perk to craft. This perk already unlocked the tempering recipe.
[]Chaurus Hunter Antennae are now considered a rare ingredient, so alchemy shops will occasionally sell them and they will appear in Falmer loot.
[]Calcelmo has a Dwarven crossbow in his laboratory under careful study. I was going to put it in the museum, but the crossbow doesn't fit in the display cases correctly. The bonus to placing it in the laboratory is to make it quest-locked, so you can't just steal it at the beginning of the game.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 3,000 endorsements and over 126k downloads.
- Fills real gaps in Skyrim's base game, making DLC content feel part of the world.
- Lightweight and simple—no quest changes, just smart integration.
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other mods that alter leveled lists or merchant inventories.
- No new quests or story content—purely additive world integration.
- Requires all three DLCs, so not for players without the full edition.

- Check for compatibility patches if you use popular loot overhaul mods like MorrowLoot Ultimate.
