📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION After playing the DLC Dawnguard I noticed that the snow elf armor obtained from Arch-Curate Vyrthur came whitout the headgear. After searching in the forgotten valley, I found a skeleton wearing something that looked like an Ancient Falmer crown that, unfortunately, you couldn't take. In the game there is no way to obtain this item, so I made this mod to fix this problem.
EDIT (read before you download) The latest updated of the unofficial patch fixed this inconsistency by adding the crown direcly to Vyrthur. With this new version of the mod I decided to remove it from him to give him back his original look and so you could have only 1 crown per savegame. >To be noted that with this change you should not patch this mod with Wrye Bash
CHANGELOG Updated to Skyrim special edition. Removed the crown added to Vyrthur by the unofficial patch
This mod makes the Ancient Falmer Crown obtainable in Skyrim by adding it to Arch-Curate Vyrthur, fixing the inconsistency where the snow elf armor lacked headgear. It also removes the crown added by the Unofficial Patch to avoid duplicates, and is updated for Special Edition. For players who want the full Ancient Falmer set without console commands.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes a real oversight in Dawnguard—now you can complete the Ancient Falmer set without console commands.
- Community-trusted with 461 endorsements and over 13k downloads, so it's been battle-tested.
- The update for Special Edition means it works on both oldrim and SE, which is a nice bonus for a 2016 mod.
⚠️ Cons
- The mod conflicts with the Unofficial Patch's own fix—you'll have to choose which crown you want, and the author warns against using Wrye Bash patching.
- It's a tiny fix, so if you're not a completionist or don't care about the crown, it's pointless.
- Since it edits Vyrthur, other mods that change his inventory or appearance might conflict—check your load order.
For Skyrim players who want to complete the Ancient Falmer armor set without cheating or using console commands. Also for those who prefer the author's approach over the Unofficial Patch's. Skip if you don't care about the crown or already use the Unofficial Patch and are happy with its fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, decide which crown you want—this mod removes the one it adds, so you can't have both.
- Don't use Wrye Bash to patch this mod, as the author explicitly warns against it to avoid issues.
- For Special Edition, make sure you download the SE version from the mod page, not the classic one.
