📋 About This Mod
The map markers only appear if the strongboxes are locked. I did this because the necklaces in the strong boxes respawn and this way the objective isn't complete just hidden and doesn't work if you have already started the quest.
I ran SSEEdit on it and it found nothing to clean.
ESP is marked as light.
Adds map markers to all 33 East Empire strongboxes in Solstheim for the Pain in the Necklace quest, making it much easier to find the pendants. A simple quality-of-life mod for Skyrim players who want to skip the tedious searching.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from the worst part of the quest—no more scouring Solstheim for those hidden strongboxes.
- Community-approved with 463 endorsements and over 7k downloads, so it's proven to work.
- Lightweight and focused, does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Pain in the Necklace quest—if you've already finished it, this mod is useless to you.
- Last updated in 2019, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups.
- Adds markers to all strongboxes, which could spoil the exploration aspect if you prefer finding them naturally.
For Skyrim players who hate the tedious treasure hunt in the Pain in the Necklace quest and just want to get it done. Also great for completionists who want to grab every pendant without a guide. Skip if you enjoy the exploration or have already completed the quest.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any other mods that affect Solstheim or the East Empire Company to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no need for manual file placement.
- The markers appear on your map only after you've started the quest, so don't panic if you don't see them immediately.
