📋 About This Mod
It is weird, that you must do some quest, join faction or even buy house to get all Stones of Barenziah. This is roleplaying game, so game should't force you to do it.
I moved locations of three Barenziah Stones to near orginal places. WARNING! contain spoilers of four stones locations
Stone from Dark Brotherhood sanctuary is moved to Jarl's house in Falkreath Stone from Arc Mages quarter is moved to jarl's house in Winterhold Stone from buyable house Proudspire Manor is moved to Bard's College
Stone in Thalmor Embassy is already moved by Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch to cave under Embassy, so I didn't
This mod relocates three Stones of Barenziah from quest-locked or purchasable locations to more accessible spots, allowing players to collect them without joining factions or buying houses. It moves the Dark Brotherhood stone to Falkreath's Jarl's house, the Arch-Mage's Quarters stone to Winterhold's Jarl's house, and the Proudspire Manor stone to the Bard's College. A small, focused tweak for Skyrim Special Edition players who want to avoid forced questlines.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from joining the Dark Brotherhood or buying Proudspire Manor just to grab a stone (467 endorsements).
- Keeps the stones near their original spots, so it doesn't break immersion.
- Works with USSEP's own stone relocation, so no conflict there.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects three stones—you'll still need to quest for the rest.
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not be compatible with newer Skyrim SE patches or mods that alter those locations.
- Moving stones to Jarl's houses could conflict with mods that overhaul those interiors.
For Skyrim Special Edition players who hate being forced into faction quests or buying houses just to complete the Stones of Barenziah quest. If you're a completionist who wants a more open-world approach to collecting them, this is a handy tweak. Skip if you don't mind doing the quests or if you use mods that heavily modify Falkreath, Winterhold, or Solitude.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod only moves three stones, use a quest marker mod to track the rest—you'll still need to explore dungeons and cities.
- If you're using other mods that alter Jarl's houses or the Bard's College, load this mod after them to ensure the stone placements stick.
- Check the mod's page for any updates or patches if you're on a newer Skyrim SE version, as it hasn't been updated since 2017.
