📋 About This Mod
Description
I've used the wonderful No Thieves Guild Grind mod for years and every time I complete the Thieves guild story line I'm stuck with the dialog options to turn in the Special Job Quests every time I talk to Delvin. On my most recent play-through I got tired of seeing those choices and started digging into the issue. Well, it turns out that the No Thieves Guild Grind mod reverts some of the changes made by the USSEP to fix a bug in the game engine. This basically turns the bugged behavior back on. After a short amount of time looking over the values from the No Thieves Guild Grind mod's description page, I figured out which values to change in the USSEP scripts. I then updated the USSEP versions of these two script files and compiled them with the Creation Kit.
TGREnablerHandlerQuestScript.pex
TGRShellScript.pex
Since I was already editing the files, I went ahead and made variations of the progression for different values so that players can choose how fast they want to progress through the Thieves Guild side quests.
CheckCount Progression
1 = 6,7,8,9,10,11,12
2 = 7,9,11,13,15,17,19
3 = 8,11,14,17,20,23,26
4 = 9,13,17,21,25,29,33
There is no need to install the original No Thieves Guild Grind mod since the same two files are included here.
From the original mod's description page:
Pretty simple - This mod lowers the requirements to get the rewards for the radiant quests of the Thieves Guild
-
[]Before you needed to do: 5, 15,25,35,45,55,75,125 quests to get the full
rewards as well as 5 in each Hold before the Hold specific quest.[
]Now you only have to do ONE quest in each Hold to get the corresponding quest and the levels for the itemsat the Guild Master's desk are: 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
If anyone is interest, I have included the PSC source files of the files that I have modified.
According to the No Thieves Guild Grind mod's permissions:
Modification permission
You must get permission from me before you are allowed to modify my files to improve it
However, since I did not have access to the original source code, I used the USSEP scripts source files and updated those to have the new values.
Full credits and respect to OlBrentonoftheWest for the original mod as well as the USSEP Team.
See References below for more information.
TLDR: I merged the USSEP fixes and the No Grind values into the one set of scripts.
Installation:
Hopefully I have the files setup correctly so that you can use the mod manager of your choice. However, if all else fails, simply drop the two PEX files into your scripts folder DATA\Scripts. Make sure that these files get loaded after the USSEP or anything else that modifies thThis mod reduces the number of radiant quests required to unlock Thieves Guild rewards in Skyrim, cutting down the repetitive grind. It's a fixed and updated version of the original No Thieves Guild Grind, ensuring compatibility. Ideal for players who want the guild's perks without the tedious repetition.
