📋 About This Mod

I stumbled upon Captain Veleth fighting the Ash Spawns and helped him, but then I forgot to check the journal for the new quest objective and went on my way to take care of other business. When I got back the Ash Spawn's remains had been cleaned up... and the quest note with them. Quest stuck and console needed... again :)

This removes the note from the Ash Spawn and places it nearby.

Only works if installed before a new game start.

Don't install in an ongoing game unless you have already completed the 'March of the Dead' quest.

It's compatible with USSEP and includes its fixes.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

This small bug fix for Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC relocates Carius' note from the Ash Spawn corpse to a nearby location, preventing the note from being lost if the remains vanish before looting. It's a lightweight ESP-FE plugin with 958 endorsements, last updated in 2021.

✨ Key Features

Moves Carius' note outside the Ash Spawn so it isn't lost if you don't loot the remains before they disappear.
ESP-FE plugin, which means it won't count toward the plugin limit.
Simple, focused fix for a specific quest-related item.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 958 endorsements and nearly 388k downloads.
  • ESP-FE flag means it's load-order friendly and won't eat a plugin slot.
  • Solves a real annoyance for players who miss the note and get stuck.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2021 — may not be tested with the latest Skyrim patches.
  • Only addresses one specific issue; if you're looking for broader bug fixes, this won't help.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who've lost Carius' note in the Dragonborn DLC and want a simple fix. Also great for completionists who hate missing quest items. Skip if you're not playing the Dragonborn DLC or want more comprehensive bug fixes.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an ESP-FE, you can safely load it anywhere in your load order, but placing it near other Dragonborn DLC patches is a good habit.
  • If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install — no extra steps needed.
  • If you've already started the quest, the note may still be on the corpse; this mod only affects new playthroughs or if the corpse hasn't spawned yet.
