📋 About This Mod
Hello my friends! Under just some minutes I managed to make a nice mod for anyone playing Skyrim with Creation Club's survival mod. All it does is removing the shrine costs so you can use them for free. I post it as two versions. One with tweaked vanilla text and the other with the original text. Please look on the screenshot's to understand it better. Thanks a lot for downloading my mod.
Hidden Cow Level:
In Optional files I have uploaded a real gem: - Temple of the Divines in Solitude have an empty pedestal for the Shrine of Talos that only will be re-activated if the player finish the Civil War In Skyrim quest on the side of the Stormcloaks. Thanks but no thanks! I have now moved the original "disabled" statue into the void just outside of the Temple of the Divines and placed a new Shrine of Talos with the exact size and position data as the disabled one that now always will be active if you download and install this mod.
