📋 About This Mod
Start The Cause without receiving a letter from the courier and/or close the Oblivion Gate at the end of the questline. ESPFE.
This small quest tweak for Skyrim lets you start The Cause quest without waiting for the courier's letter and/or close the Oblivion Gate at the quest's end. It's an ESPFE, meaning it won't count against the plugin limit. Ideal for players who want more control over quest pacing or a cleaner world state.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (861k) shows it's trusted by the community.
- ESPFE format is perfect for load order hoarders – no slot wasted.
- Gives you control over when to tackle The Cause, which is great for roleplay.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 370 endorsements compared to downloads – maybe not everyone's cup of tea.
- Last updated March 2024 – might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates.
For Skyrim players who want to start The Cause on their own terms, without waiting for a courier. Also for those who hate leaving the Oblivion Gate open after finishing the quest. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla quest flow or want more substantial quest changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESPFE, you can safely add it mid-playthrough, but make a save before installing just in case.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the ESPFE – don't manually rename or move files.
- Check if you have other mods that alter The Cause quest – they might conflict, so load this one after them.
