📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod has been merged in Andrealphus Scene Tweaks.
This scene tweak makes the commander (that tastes the mead in the Thieves' Guild quest, Dampened Spirits) spit out the poisoned mead cough during the scene.
The commander can either be Commander Caius or Sinmir, depending on which faction owns Whiterun.

Q: Does installing/updating/uninstalling on an existing save work?
A: As far as I know, it should. However, it's good practice to keep a backup save prior to doing this, just in case.
Q: Is this compatible with <insert mod>?
A: I don't know by heart. You might need to check yourself.
Q: Will you make a patch for <insert mod>?
A: Only if it's a mod I use myself or plan on using, I have enough time and I actually like the idea. Otherwise, feel free to do it yourself. (see permissions)
Q: I have a suggestion to improve the mod. Can you do it?
A: Maybe, if I have time and I like the idea, I'll consider it.
Q: Will you port this to <insert platform>?
A: No, I myself only support the Steam and GOG English SE and AE versions of Skyrim. If someone else wants to port it, feel free. (see permission) If you decide to port it, you yourself take full responsibility to offer support to said port. I will not provide no support for any ports by third parties.
Q: I use a ported version of this mod on <insert platform> and I have a problem. Can you help?
A: I don't provide any support for third party ports on other platforms than the Steam and GOG English SE and AE versions of Skyrim. If you have issues, you should adress the person that ported it.
Q: Does this work on Skyrim 1. 6+, aka "Anniversary Edition"?
A: Yes, it should.
Q: Why don't your mods use MCMs and instead use this janky console command system to set globals?
A: I am not a fan of MCMs. You can set the globals by making a patch in xEdit. I have no plans of changing this. If you want to add an MCM, feel free. (see permissions)
Q: Why don't you use FOMODs?
A: That would require reuploading the entire mod, in question, even if I only make a small change. My internet is limited and reuploading the files each time will take a huge chunk of my monthly volume.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (316 endorsements) and widely downloaded (72k+).
- Tiny mod that does exactly what it says—no bloat.
- Fits perfectly for players who want subtle realism in quest scenes.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects one specific scene—if you're looking for broader Thieves Guild changes, this won't cover it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that edit the same quest or scene.
- May require a new save or reload to see the effect if the scene is already active.
For Skyrim players who value immersion and want to see a logical reaction to poisoned mead. If you're a completionist or roleplayer who notices small details, this is a must-have. Skip if you want major quest overhauls—this is purely a cosmetic tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep your load order clean.
- If you're already in the Dampened Spirits quest, make sure to save before the scene to test the effect.
- Since it's a scene tweak, it's safe to add mid-playthrough, but always keep a backup save.
