The real shady story

The real shady story

Guess who's back, back again, Shady's back, tell a friend.

…. No one wants to see Marshall again

This mod puts Shady Sam in some warm clothes and gives him something to do. It's a patch, so the original mod is required.

Well, if you want shady stuff….

You may or may not be aware, but Arthmoor's alternative start - Living Another Life - SSE adds Oblivion's NPC Shady Sam. Shady Sam is a merchant who deals in invisibility-related and stolen items (The Elder Scrolls Wiki). But, in his current state, he's a crappy old man hanging around Dawstar. No wonder he had a bad temper and froze his assets in a robe.

this is what i give you

Shady Sam now wears the standard Thieves Guild suit. He will help anyone and any crime is acceptable. He is now a fence and will buy stolen goods. Now, his vendor's chest is filled with large quantities of poisons and daggers, as well as wares for aspiring thieves.

But I feel so empty without me

Shady is not at Dawnstar. Now he's wandering the sky, stopping in all the places you'd expect someone with a Shady character to see. On weekends, Shady spends time drinking and enjoying life at Riften. Shady should not be underestimated as his level and fighting skills have improved.

Install

Install into the Skyrim\Data folder using your favorite Mod Manager. In the load order it should be under "Alternate Boot".

Require

Skyrim SE - current version

Alternative Beginning - Living Another Life - SSE

Arthmoor - keeps all his great mods and shared his modlist with me so I could see how he fits into Open City. I've been a patron ever since and it still forms the basis for all my mod releases.

The modding community seeks inspiration

Special mention to MNIKJOM and their awesome mod AI Overhaul SSE. Of course, this isn't a requirement for this mod, but I was able to learn from his excellent use of AI.

General other information

Clean with TES5Edit

future plans

I'd like to add some other unreliable activities, and I'll consider doing so. I also wanted to add some "hired muscle" to escort him to his various locations while also providing some heavy armor training.

Thanks for reading to the end...and take note

Shady Sam is a merchant who is in the business of dealing with stealth-oriented and stolen goods (Elder Scrolls Wiki). However, in his current state, he is a grouchy old man wandering around Dawstar. And no wonder he’s grouchy, he’s freezing his assets off in a robe.

Shady Sam now wears the Thieves Guild Standard Set. He will help nobody and any crime is acceptable. He is now a fence and will buy stolen goods. His vendor chest is now stocked with an abundance of poisons and daggers, along with some assorted goods for the aspiring thief.

But it feels so empty without me

Shady does not stay in Dawnstar. Now he wanders Skyrim, stopping at all the places that you would expect from someone with Shady’s character. On weekends, Shady spends his time drinking and enjoying life in Riften. Shady should not be trifled with, as his level and fighting skills have been improved.
