technology

Clean with TES5Edit.

This mod uses custom scripts.

conflict

This mod should not cause problems with any mods other than modifying the switchback area north of Ivarstead and the valley south of Guldun Rock.

Game mods that affect combat that are too difficult or too easy may have an impact on boss battles.

Tested compatible mods: Skyrim Underground (3.6), Enhanced Landscapes (1.2)

Install

If needed, save before installing.

Download the Vanilla version or the Dawnguard/Dragonborn version.

If installing manually, place SolemnKeep.esp and SolemnKeep.bsa in the data folder.

Load SolemnKeep.esp before game or perk mode. (Preemptive tend to put them later)

Recommendation: If using a game module, please merge the patch with Tes5Edit; if the game module is different, please follow the installation instructions of the game module.

I have custom instructions for updating from older versions, you can find this information in the article.

Uninstall

Since this mod uses scripts, it is generally not recommended to uninstall it as you cannot remove the scripts from the save file.

If you still want to uninstall, do the following: somewhere away from this mod (such as inside a house), make sure nothing the mod uses is loaded.

Unequip any items created by this mod, especially horns.

Wait 3 hours, then another 3 hours. (This helps clear the ghost pile)

Save your game and keep this save for emergencies.

Delete ShimmerfallSprings.esp and ShimmerfallSprings.bsa in the data folder.

How to find the cave or start the quest?

Ask the innkeeper in Ivarstead about "any suspicious activity around town," or go directly to the cave and read the note inside.

Why can't I put the horns on?

It cannot be discarded after being picked up as it is marked as a quest item. If you no longer wish to have it in your inventory, you can place it back in the boss's inventory or in a chest in his room. I'm doing this because this project will be important if I choose to expand this mod.

I have a bug/problem.

Make sure it's this mod first, but also make sure your load order follows my recommendations and those of other mods you're using.

If you're still having issues, please use the bug report to find the bug you found (the more descriptive the better), or leave a comment with another question that isn't a bug and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks!

What is the difference between Vanilla version and Dawnguard & Dragonborn version?

They're pretty much the same except for fixes for minor bugs that might occur with some of the new spells and features introduced in the DLC.

Please note: I plan to use the DLC content in subsequ …
