📋 About This Mod
Paradigm Add On - Prisoner
This is a simple add on for the Paradigm - A Quick Start Overhaul mod by JechtShotMK2020 and ThirdEyeSqueegee. It adds a single "Prisoner" class, that starts with nothing but beggars rags and boots. No other weapons, armor, gold, potions, etc. This is intended for people like myself who enjoy starting from nothing and building themselves up. It also suits role-players that like to have a completely blank slate for their character, while retaining the quick start from Paradigm.
Requirements
Paradigm - A Quick Start Overhaul - This mod will not function without it.

With 57 endorsements and over 16,000 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for fans of the base mod.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tight integration with Paradigm—if you already run that overhaul, this slots right in.
- Decent traction for an add-on: 57 endorsements and 16k downloads show it's got a following.
- Simple concept done well: a true zero-to-hero start for masochistic playthroughs.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds one class—if you want more variety, this won't scratch that itch.
- Requires the base Paradigm mod, so it's useless without it.
- Last updated in 2023—might not be compatible with newer game patches or other mods.
For Skyrim players who already use Paradigm and crave a brutal, rags-to-riches start. If you're not running Paradigm, skip this—it's a dependency-locked add-on. Perfect for roleplayers who love the challenge of starting with absolutely nothing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base Paradigm mod installed first—this add-on won't work without it.
- When starting a new game, select the Prisoner class from the Paradigm menu to get the full experience.
- Check your load order to ensure Paradigm and this add-on are both active before launching.
