📋 About This Mod
Free marriage.
First of all, before going into the description, I want to make an important disclaimer:
Free marriage is divided in two parts:
--> The first part is the ESP/ESL file itself.
--> The second part is the scripts.
As of the update 1. 2, the format of the files has been upgraded to ESP flagged as ESL.
Read the details about the update 1. 2 below for more details.
These two parts complement each other, in a way I will detail in the description below, but what you have to know is, while they complement each other, they also can work independantly from each other, meaning you can absolutely use only one of them if you want, no matter which one.
I will describe individually each part of the mod below, so you can know exactly what you are installing.
I take NO REQUESTS, NO SUGGESTIONS.
For better readability, each section of the description will be put under Spoiler tags you can collapse as you wish.
Due to the lenght of the description, there won't be a French description.
Update 1. 2 is now live.

What does it mean? It means you will have an ESP file, which will have all the features and functionalities of an ESP file, AND, as it is flagged as ESL, it also means this file won't be counted towards the 255 plugin limit of regular ESP.
If you were using the ESP version, you can safely upgrade to the ESP flagged as ESL version, the only difference you will have it that the mod won't take anymore room in your plugin limit, in short, you gain one slot for others mods.
If you were using the ESL version and it worked for you, then you don't need to upgrade to said version as you already have everything working as intended.
Aside of this change in the file itself, the update 1. 2 doesn't bring any other change in the mod itself.
Update 1. 1 is now live.
- The update 1. 1 fixes an issue that prevented marriage with some NPCs due to the conversation cutting short, thus, disallowing the player from following through.
Now, the conversation will proceed as intended.
However, fixing this issue has brought another minor issue, in that some NPCs, although their answer will play properly and will allow the player t
Free marriage removes all initial marriage requirements in Skyrim, letting you propose to almost any NPC from the start. It eliminates the need to talk to Maramal, buy an amulet, and wear it. A straightforward quality-of-life mod for players who want immediate marriage options.
