About this mod Machine translation
This mode improves the placement and appearance of Thieves Guild shadows and adds dynamic shadows for players, homes, and other quest-related locations.
This mod adds the Thieves Guild's shadow token to the player's home and improves the appearance of existing shadow tokens. Now you can tell thieves your status in the guild while protecting your house and property from any unwanted visitors. This mode has no real impact on gameplay or any other features in the game. This is purely a makeup change for cosplay purposes.
introduce
Added shadows to player-owned houses, including Hellfire House and Severin Manor.
Shadow markers automatically adjust to reflect the player's current status within the guild and family ownership status
Improved placement of existing shadow markers
Added shadows to many locations where they were missing.
Update certain shadow markers based on completed tasks (Eastern Empire's offices in Windham, Li & Fung warehouse, etc.)
Improve the appearance of shadows, reduce their shine and smooth their jagged edges (use plugin editing)
New textures further improve the appearance of shadows.
Install
Download and install a master file option using your preferred mod manager, or manually extract the .zip file to the SkyRIM Special Edition/data folder.
Added content
The player's family's shadow will automatically adjust, depending on the family's ownership status and the player's identity and theft guild.
Houses no one owns empty marks
Homes owned by non-guild members or banned members are dangerous marks
Houses owned by members of the Thieves Guild will have a guild mark.
The three buildable man-made fire dwellings and the West Welwyn Manor will also receive a guild token if appropriate, but they will not receive any other tokens if they are not owned or if the player is not a member of the Thieves Guild.
If you wish to use loot for shadow markers of non-member player families instead of hazard markers, then open the console and type:
Set TGRShadowmark_UseLootmark to 1
The shadow mark will be updated the next time the cell is loaded.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
