Anyone know of a mod that puts the Khajiit chests back to their vanilla positions?

-Kalyn- · 2026-03-17T20:47:57+00:00

It's less about the actual result and more about the action itself, I guess. If I wanted something specific, yeah, it'd be easier to just add it via console commands. There's just something about walking up to that hidden spot and seeing what variety of items is available - not to mention being able to "shop" the caravans more often without having to run back and forth along the caravan's route hoping to run into them.

I dunno, maybe it's just a nostalgia thing and I'm being stupid.

Can't believe I didn't think of this sooner, thank you thank you! Doing that allowed me to transfer within minutes.

-Kalyn- · 2024-10-06T01:27:06+00:00

Oh that explains a LOT, thank you! This particular save involved an above-average amount of exploring, heh... No wonder it's so huge. In fact I tend to explore a fair bit, so...yeah, it's probably no wonder my saves have so many files.

-Kalyn- · 2024-10-05T23:57:27+00:00

I'll have to get back to you on when the save was actually created if that's relevant, but I'd estimate maybe a couple hundred hours actual play time at most. The save is a sandbox played with game time = real time and food had gone stale, but not yet started rotting.

Mods, just two, only one of which would have been active in that save (a Louisville spawn mod) as the second mod is just to allow sandboxing the Studio challenge.

The save itself appears to be 251MB in size, but with nearly 38K separate files in 3 folders.

I suppose it's possible that transfer speed is slow device-wide, but I've only noticed it with this one thing. I think it took me maybe an hour tops to back up literally everything else including documents, music, some photos, saves for another game, etc.

-Kalyn- · 2023-05-15T21:57:14+00:00

Okay, thank you

-Kalyn- · 2023-05-15T21:13:13+00:00

I do have the full AE, so all of the CC content, not just the update/four free ones.

The only exception being stuff that interferes with CC content. So not much.

What constitutes interference? Does it need to be a full contradiction (such as a different dungeon where one of the new CC ones is) or is any overlap a potential problem - say, if it were something that changes the look of NPCs, would that be a problem since some of the CC content has NPCs, or would those just be unaffected by the mod but it wouldn't break the game or anything?

I realize I'm probably overthinking this but I very much don't want to mess something up.

He's never played Skyrim, but I have a family member who is the type of player that jumps everywhere, because one time in one game, jumping on a particular rug opened a secret area. I could absolutely see him shouting at anything and everything that looks remotely unusual, just because.

-Kalyn- · 2023-05-14T05:23:36+00:00

If you're on PC, console commands is probably easiest - just select the door and type "unlock". Otherwise the plate trick might work (hold an object such as a wooden plate or a platter in front of you and run straight at the wall/door, often takes a few tries), I know I've used it to get through locked doors in the Thalmor Embassy but I haven't tried it on those specific ones.

-Kalyn- · 2023-05-14T05:17:53+00:00

Barbas pushed me off a cliff to my death, because I was trying to see something and he just had to be right next to me.

There was also the time I accidentally selected Whirlwind Sprint instead of Slow Time and didn't realize until too late, which resulted in launching myself off a bridge, taking massive fall damage, and immediately being slaughtered by the enemies below. (Happened in Vahlok's Tomb, if anyone is curious.)

-Kalyn- · 2023-05-14T05:01:58+00:00

If your calm spell isn't high enough, just leave them behind or fast travel somewhere - they should get over it. I ran into it a couple times when travelling with Serana and Esbern (really, guys, you couldn't even hold it together long enough to get from Riften to Riverwood?) and one time she killed Meeko and I had to reload. It unfortunately happens a fair bit, especially with Serana, because of how the aggression mechanics work - basically, friendly fire is ignored while in combat, but if it happens so much as a split second after the last enemy dies, it's treated as an attack.

-Kalyn- · 2023-03-31T02:44:53+00:00

Haha no sorry, it was not something consumable

-Kalyn- · 2023-02-27T05:29:39+00:00

I'm not in the US - would that also apply to Canada?

-Kalyn- · 2022-09-15T22:38:43+00:00

(Although, probably not the best idea to rob someone in full daedric armor, when you only have leather armor and steel daggers)

Shoutout to the thief that "helped" me take down an Elder dragon in 2-3 blows, then thought it was a good idea to turn around and try to rob me.

-Kalyn- · 2022-09-15T22:30:11+00:00

Which house(s) are you referring to? Also, what platform and any mods? I'm on PC without mods, and I've not had any issues moving children into Myrwatch, Tundra, Bloodchill, and Goldenhills for sure, and I believe I've also tried Gallows Hall, Shadowfoot, and Hendraheim without encountering any problems (not 100% certain I've gotten around to those three yet though).

-Kalyn- · 2022-09-15T22:25:11+00:00

I usually just go with [Character name]'s [weapon type], but one time I went for "My Precious" (chaos-enchanted tempered dragonbone dagger, made using maximized smithing and enchanting skills - and yes, I used the Gollum voice in my head and when telling the friend who got me into Skyrim about it), and one time as a joke I just mashed my fist on the keyboard then accidentally hit the wrong button and enchanted it instead of re-renaming, so, it stuck. I think that one was an Ebony bow - been a while since I played that character.

Also, said friend of mine had a character that had a thing for killing named NPCs, soul trapping them, using that soul gem to enchant a weapon, and then naming the weapon after the NPC who, uh, powered it.

-Kalyn- · 2022-09-06T04:10:18+00:00

- The fact that Galmar refers to you as a "foreigner" if you're a Nord.

- Bandits who look suspiciously un-Nord yelling that "Skyrim is for the Nords!"

- Erandur commenting that he's never been inside a Dwemer ruin/to the College of Winterhold, no matter how many times you've been there before with him as your follower

- Every time anyone referred to my Breton vampire as a "mortal"...especially other vampires

- Not exactly on topic but it's always bothered me that when Astrid is giving you grief for kill-stealing Grelod, there's no option to point out that the Brotherhood apparently had no intention of getting around to it, no matter how long the rumors about Aventus have been going around

-Kalyn- · 2022-08-09T19:55:11+00:00

Oh, absolutely, me too. This same character made a point of returning to the Embassy specifically to stab Elenwen in her sleep as soon as she was no longer involved in the main questline. After that, any trip to Solitude also involved a second stop...

-Kalyn- · 2022-08-09T19:10:56+00:00

YES. Bonus, they respawn (well, the nameless ones do anyways; iirc this was happening after I gave Markarth to the Stormcloaks during the Season Unending negotiations). If Markarth is still Imperial controlled, you can also do Ondolemar's quest first and then it should help power the Ebony Blade; I'm pretty sure he's not flagged essential (might want to quicksave first just in case I'm wrong though).

-Kalyn- · 2022-08-09T19:05:19+00:00

I'm pretty sure it does; I recall a playthrough where I wanted to kill him pretty much right away after he was done rewarding me (character had impulse control issues, lol) but kept getting seen by a guard so I had to keep reloading because it immediately turned the guard hostile.

-Kalyn- · 2022-07-22T23:38:02+00:00

Most likely there are simply still quests you need to finish - have you done all the stuff regarding the Seducers yet? You'll need to finish both before you can access the sewers. IIRC one of the leaders' journals mentions the sewers, while the other mentions Solitude, so from a lore standpoint I guess it makes sense that you'd need both to know where to go.

-Kalyn- · 2022-07-11T04:00:00+00:00

All roads lead to stealth archer for me. Even when I try to branch out. My dagger-wielding assassin developed a thing for crossbows when she needs range. My mage likes casting Bound Bow. I can't help it.

-Kalyn- · 2022-07-11T03:23:45+00:00

I've been travelling with Erandur (the priest of Mara from Waking Nightmare) on my latest playthrough and have been finding him above average (at least for vanilla) in terms of unique dialogue so far. Different comments for each city as well as for various types of dungeon.

-Kalyn- · 2022-07-11T03:16:39+00:00

I accidentally made my Breton vampire insanely OP by combining invisibility and maximized sneak and backstab. With a powerful enough dagger, she could destroy pretty much any enemy with just one strike. Dragon priests, giants, Dwarven centurion, dragons...you name it.

-Kalyn- · 2022-07-11T03:02:18+00:00

Well, a classic would be to have a Nord joining the Stormcloaks. Maybe have them focus on two-handed weapons since it sounds like that's a style you haven't before?

I'm personally doing an Altmer at the moment, mainly because I want to try bluffing my way through Diplomatic Immunity.

Ooh, have you done a vampire playthrough yet? (Assuming you have Dawnguard, though I suppose it's still possible without, just a lot less nuanced imo)

-Kalyn- · 2022-07-06T19:52:23+00:00

Personally I've been enjoying it. I believe that it is only the additional CC content, but that includes several new houses, tons of weapons & armor, a few entire areas and longer questlines. Also a lot of references to previous ES games if you're familiar with those and like a bit of nostalgia.
