📋 About This Mod

Description

This mod was previously part of my other mod Andrealphus' Gameplay Tweaks. (now named Andrealphus' Tweaks - Harder Quests)

Several small edits to the stones of Barenziah, which moves them to locations in other worldspaces.

Note: all of them require a new game and will not work on existing saves.

You can find a list of the Vanilla locations here.

Locations changed:

Solitude Proudspire Manor -> Dawnguard

Volkihar Keep (Harkon's room.)

Whiterun Hall of the Dead -> Solstheim

Tel Mithryn (Next to the staff enchanter.)

Whiterun Jorrvaskr -> Beyond Skyrim - Bruma

Castle Bruma Lords Manor (Next to the count's bed.)

Dainty Sload -> Falskaar

(This is a child ESP for Falskaar, which requires Falskaar obviously and is an unofficial addon to it.)

Volkrund Keep: Near the place where brother Arnand meets his final demise.

Ansilvund -> Wyrmstooth

(This is a child ESP for Wyrmstooth, which requires Wyrmstooth obviously and is an unofficial addon to it.)

Krakevisa Midden: Near the end of the dungeon, in a library-like room.

Dead Crone Rock -> Beyond Reach

(This is a child ESP for Beyond Reach, which requires Beyond Reach obviously and is an unofficial addon to it.)

Evermore, Ink Dominion: upstairs

Fellglow Keep -> Gray Cowl of Nocturnal

(This is a child ESP for The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal, which requires The Gray Cowl of Nocturnal obviously and is an unofficial addon to it.)

Fortress of Ben Erai: inside the fortress, upstairs in Syloria Peleu's office

Yngvild -> Midwood Isle

(This is a child ESP for Midwood Isle, which requires Midwood Isle obviously and is an unofficial addon to it.)

City of Ludene: inside the Councilor's house bedroom.

Q: Why did you release all these tweaks seperate? Can't you just put them in a pack?

A: They used to be in a pack called Andrealphus' Gameplay Tweaks. (which is now named Andrealphus' Tweaks - Harder Quests

However, since the title wasn't descriptive enough, many people were having issues finding a particular tweak. That mod was just a bag of random things, because I never really though
