📋 About This Mod
For the nth time I have to find yet another save file to skip that godforsaken intro and tutorial section so I decided to make my own.
If you want a save file with Hadvar or Ralof as your bff then take your pick. Hadvar is the Imperial and Ralof is the Stormcloak in case you forgot.
Hopefully that mod name will make it easier for search engines to find it for the sake of players like me who just want a save file that will work on the current version of the game I am playing.
A clean save file for Skyrim Special Edition (version 1.5.97.0) that places you right after the Helgen tutorial dungeon, with a choice between Hadvar or Ralof. For players who want to skip the intro and start fresh. Note: compatibility with Anniversary Edition is unconfirmed.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Saves you from replaying the Helgen intro for the hundredth time
- Clean save means no leftover quest items or weird states
- Solid community trust with 206 endorsements
⚠️ Cons
- Only works on SE 1.5.97.0 – AE users are out of luck unless they downgrade
- No guarantee it'll work with your mod list – script mods might conflict
- Save is from 2022, so it might be outdated for current setups
For Skyrim players who've done the Helgen intro too many times and just want to get to the open world. Also great for mod testing since it's a clean start. Skip if you're on Anniversary Edition or if you want a save that includes specific modded content.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your game version matches 1.5.97.0 – check your SkyrimSE.exe properties
- Place the save in Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/Saves
- If you use mods that alter the starting area, load this save after enabling them to avoid conflicts
