📋 About This Mod
Missives is a great mod, but when playing with a bunch of mods that add new locations to the game, some of its missions end up sending you to entirely different worldspaces.
What does it do?
-
[]This mods limits the letter, potion and weapon delivery missions to the main Skyrim holds.
[
]It should be safe to add or remove during your game.[]It (probably) won't effect any currently running Missive quest.
[]The main file does not change any Missive patches that add additional worldspace support - those can limit their own locations if they like, or I might make additional patches here.
[]There is an optional file that maintains compatability with the Economy Overhaul Speechcraft (Lite) patch for Missives, if you're using that.
[]It's a simple ESL-flagged file that won't take up a slot in your load order.
For self-patching
- You can change the list of locations where the delivery is allowed to go by overring _M_ListOfSkyrimHolds via your own custom patch :)
(Note: created in xEdit with some basic in-game testing. Let me know if something doesn't work as expected.)
This patch keeps Missives' delivery quests within Skyrim, preventing them from sending players to Solstheim or other DLC areas. It's a small compatibility fix for players who prefer to stay in the base game. With 820 endorsements and 246,760 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak.

💡 Beginner Tips

- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order automatically – but double-check that this patch is placed after Missives.
