THIS MOD MAKES SMALL CHANGES TO THE TAMRIEL OVERWORLD, SO THERE IS A CHANCE THAT IT COULD CONFLICT WITH OTHER MODS THAT CHANGE THE SAME AREAS. If you are having issues with the mod, please first try playing it without your other mods installed. It has been tested with Skyrim, Dragonborn, Dawnguard and Hearthfire and should work fine barring interference from other mods.
HOW DO I START THE MAIN QUEST?
A courier should give you a letter the next time you fast travel to an outdoor area. You can wait for him or fast travel again. Usually, just playing like normal will trigger him. Otherwise, you can go to the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood and find the quest giver on your own. Play how you want!
Alternatively, you can download the optional Immersion Patch to prevent the courier from arriving until you have completed "The Way of the Voice." It also locks out the aforementioned dialog with the quest giver, keeping your immersion intact.
CAN I HAVE A PLAYER HOME IN LITTLE VIVEC?
I recommend installing the Moon and Star version of Greenboat by G-Mus if you'd like a player home in the village. It adds a unique houseboat that blends well with the village's aesthetic.
DIDN'T HOUSE HLAALU LOSE THEIR STATUS AS A GREAT HOUSE? WHY ARE THEY INVOLVED?
Good question.
MY MOD ISN'T WORKING/IS BUGGED!
Before reporting a bug, please try playing the mod without other mods installed or last in your mod load order. If you are still having issues, then feel free to let me know. If the problem is with another mod, let me know which one and I may look into a solution, if the other mod is widespread enough. Given the nature of modding, I will very likely not be able to make this mod 100% compatable with every other Skyrim mod in existence.
CAN I TRANSLATE THIS MOD?
Yes, of course! No need to ask permission - just please give credit and link to the original mod page. Thanks for spreading this mod t
