About this mod Machine translation

Featuring a brand new dungeon cave I made in 2015, you can get there by traveling to the northeast of Korvanjund. Gather your followers and get ready for the big adventure!



Caverns Of Chaos started out as a small dungeon that I sorted out and got used to modding. I've made dungeon mods in the past but have been focusing on new land mods lately so decided to reupload some of my older creations for everyone and curate a wider variety of mods. The mod is quite old, dating back almost 5 years, and I don't want it sitting on my external drive, that would be a disservice. I want to upload it from my new account and manage it better. I'm releasing it as a beta because I can still improve it in different ways and fix things that may have missed my goals, if you have any gameplay issues with the game please check the following (important) section as your issues may be covered there. There is no current status of any lore inside the dungeon, but if you haven't had a chance to explore this dungeon, now is the time and I may add some in a future update to make it more interesting. As always, if you enjoyed your time, I encourage you to leave a thumbs up and stop by to comment.



I don't consider myself a senior modder with great work experience, I make mods in my spare time just as a hobby and I try my best to use the tools available. I created and balanced this mod with classic Skyrim's lighting, resources, and default brightness settings, so I need you to remember that everyone uses different lighting mods, different ENBs, different game brightness settings, and even different load orders for their mods, so each of you will have a different experience.

This mod has been cleaned up using Tes5edit before and after playtesting, so if for any reason I run into any issues I'm sorry. I would personally recommend backing up your Skyrim game or data folder somewhere safe, maybe on some kind of cheap external drive like a 64GB thumb drive, and putting it in an anti-static bag. I like to follow this rule when trying other people's mods, just in case something goes wrong and there's no harm done.



Currently, Caverns Of Chaos should be compatible with every mod, as it doesn't change the core gameplay, add scripts or anything of the sort. It only uses assets from classic Skyrim.



The only thing you need to play Caverns Of Chaos is basic Skyrim gameplay, a sense of adventure and a little bit of fun :D



You can head northeast of Whiterun and head toward Korvanjund, more northeast of the Chaos Caverns, and you'll be greeted by the Caverns Guardian.



You'll find tons of loot inside and emerge as a battle-hardened victor with your newfound sense of adventure!



If you haven't backed up your Skyrim or Data folders, do so now, or if you don't care, do so now.

  • Go to the files section and click on download using mod manager, then mod manager or vortex mod manager should open and start downloading. (I personally don't recommend using the vortex mod manager until it is improved further). Once done, click on the mod and then Activate.
  • In the File section, click Manual Download and save the archive to your desktop or any desired location. Unzip the archive and place the .esp file in the Skyrim data folder.



  • Keep the mod forever as a tribute to me! Just kidding, open the mod manager or whatever mod manager you use and click "Uninstall mod". Once done, click on the mod and press the delete key to remove it from the mod manager.
  • Open your Skyrim Data folder and find Caverns Of Chaos.esp and delete it from it.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
