📋 About This Mod

This simple mod allows you to bury fallen NPCs in Skyrim, friends and foes alike.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Pay Your Respects SSE lets you bury fallen NPCs in Skyrim, creating persistent graves with custom engravings. It uses hotkeys or powers, includes animations, and is lightweight with an ESP-FE plugin. Requires SKSE64, with SkyUI optional since version 1.3.0. A well-endorsed port (528 endorsements) for immersive roleplay.

✨ Key Features

Bury any fallen NPC, friend or foe, and create a persistent grave.
Graves display the NPC's name, date of burial, and an engraving (preset or custom).
Use hotkeys or optional powers (added in v1.3.0) to initiate burial and grave removal.
Includes kneel and salute animations, toggleable via MCM.
Plugin is ESP-FE, so it doesn't count toward the plugin limit.
Compatible with other mods as it only adds its own content.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 528 endorsements and over 11k downloads.
  • Lightweight and compatible—ESP-FE plugin won't eat your load order slots.
  • Custom engravings let you personalize graves for meaningful roleplay.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires SKSE64, which can be a hurdle for modding newbies.
  • Grave removal is irreversible—once deleted, it's gone for good.
  • Animations might get repetitive after a while, though you can turn them off.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim roleplayers who want to honor fallen NPCs with a lasting tribute. Also great for completionists who like immersive details. Skip if you're not into roleplay or don't want to bother with SKSE.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure SKSE64 is installed and launched via skse64_loader.exe, not the default launcher.
  • Set your hotkeys in the MCM before trying to bury anyone—otherwise the mod won't respond.
  • If you're on version 1.3.0+, you can skip SkyUI and use the powers instead of hotkeys.
