📋 About This Mod
About:
I personally prefer to use the Buyable Home Patch for Elysium Estate SSE with the Elysium Estate SSE mod, but for immersion purposes, I didn't want to have to manually remove the Caretaker NPC every save. So I made an ESL patch that removes the NPC and decided to share! Enjoy! :)

Install with your preferred mod manager and make sure this patch loads after Elysium Estate SSE.
For manual installation (Not recommended): Place the ElysiumEstate_CaretakerRemoval.esp directly in your Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder.
Uninstallation:
Uninstall with your preferred mod manager.
To manually uninstall (Not recommended): Remove the ElysiumEstate_CaretakerRemoval.esp from your Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder.

This ESPFE patch removes the Caretaker NPC from Elysium Estate SSE, designed for use with the Buyable Home Patch. It breaks the questline if used without that mod. A niche utility for players who want the home without the NPC, with 208 endorsements and 50k downloads.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 208 endorsements and over 50k downloads
- ESPFE means it won't count against your plugin limit
- Does exactly what it says: removes the Caretaker without touching the rest of the mod
⚠️ Cons
- Will break the questline if you don't have the Buyable Home Patch installed
- Only useful if you specifically want the Caretaker gone – niche appeal
- No updates since November 2021, so compatibility with newer Elysium Estate versions is uncertain
For Skyrim players who use Elysium Estate SSE and the Buyable Home Patch but find the Caretaker NPC annoying or immersion-breaking. Skip if you're fine with the NPC or don't use the Buyable Home Patch – this patch will break your game.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Buyable Home Patch installed before adding this – otherwise the Elysium Estate questline will break.
- Since it's an ESPFE, you can safely place it after Elysium Estate in your load order, but always use a mod manager to avoid overwrite issues.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable the patch and check that it loads after the main Elysium Estate mod in your plugin list.
