The mod is now no longer in Beta
I decided to release it in Beta first to get some feedback to know what others think of my mod. I've got plenty of feedback and opinions which have helped me improve the mod alot through out this year, without these I wouldn't be able to get it into as such stable state it is now.
What is needed to start the Adventure?
When you once have access and entered Winterhold College the adventure will start and it is highly recommended for players that has reached atleast level 20 or higher.
Permissions:
I do own this mod and I don't give the permission to anyone to upload it on any other sites or pretend it to be someone else's mod. It is okay to record and show the mod in a Youtube video, but as said credit that the mod is made by me and not by someone else.
