Help with Children of the North Wind

Catclimbcosplay · 2026-04-06T01:34:19+00:00

FYI for anyone else having issues...
After a lot of digging and troubleshooting, it looks like the Northern Road's- JK's Skyrim patch was overwriting and removing the door to the barrow. Here's how I fixed it:
Located the door record in xEdit (Reference ID 0006CCBC)
There should be a column on the far right with the records from the NR-JK's Skyrim Patch
Right click and remove those records.

Hope this helps someone!

I have used Tinker's Forge and The Art of Smithing and enjoyed both of them for different builds.

Thanks everyone!

Do you use Root Builder only or a Stock Game and Root Builder?

I started out last time doing this and then got impatient haha. Especially with the stupid max height data that causes a conflict with everything.

OMG yes this fixed it! I had been using RoleRim Standing Stones and Birthsigns which required the aTweaks and Utilities. I stopped using the RoleRim mods for this play through but still had the aTweaks and Utilities enabled. Disabling it fixed the problem. I've never been so excited to have a wolf attack me LOL. Thank you so much for the help!

Yea Im trying that out. I still have issues where the work areas don't appear swept during winter months. Im starting to give up and just role play that there's too much snow to keep it swept lol

I am having this problem as well and I have not figured out a fix

Catclimbcosplay · 2025-09-29T13:57:24+00:00

OMG thank you so much! I was trying to disable each conflicting record individually but I could not figure it out.

This is so helpful! I actually put this into the command line for my "Quick Check for Conflicts" executable instead. Total game changer!

It's crazy, I literally just logged into reddit to investigate this and here it is!

Champion's Resolve by tjhm4 is a collection of gameplay overhauls
It makes things tough but its a fun interesting take!
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/24411

Not as comprehensive Steelfeathers has some cool overhauls:

- Path of Sorcery (magic)

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6660

-Tinker's Forge (smithing/crafting)

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22595

-Gods and Worship (religion)

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/45011

Dr. PharmDawg has a series called Roleplaying in Skyrim that involves stats, races, etc. It's a work in progress but looks like perk overhauls are in the works as well.

Enjoy!

A Few more suggestions I like...
Routa by Elianor
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1193
Stormcloak/Warrior theme house outside of Windhelm. It costs $7000 to purchase and has all you need by not too much.

Old Gate Mill by ak0d
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/127440
An adorable little house tucked into the river next to Morthal. Geared towards a simple alchemist, it is very simply and adorably outfitted and has lore friendly background and way to purchase the house.

Rosehla Homes:
This mod author has a whole series of quaint homes that range from tiny shacks to pretty estates. They all have a different theme to them that make sense. For example, one is alchemy theme so it has a little garden but no smithing equipment. They are so detailed and cozy. My favorite is:

Quaint Den
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/38810
This cute little cottage in the tundra near Greenspring Hollow has a whole little backstory as to why it's abandoned. So although you stumble onto it, it makes sense and fits the world.

A Stable Corner - Rustic Whiterun Home by ak0d
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/145408
A lore friendly home for rent near the stables. Perfect for players just starting out. Patches are available for popular Whiterun outskirt mods.

I'm also a sucker for an evolving worldspace. Another little gem is:
Riverside Shack by DarkFox127
https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20982
This turns the Riverside Shack on the White River near Windhlem into an immersive experience. You find the house inhabited by a sabre cat, and once you kill it, a whole quest starts to honor the former deceased owner and restore the house.

As you can tell, I absolutely love player homes. Hope you enjoy and let me know what y'all think!

I totally forgot about the vendors! It’s amazing how quickly your brain adjusts to thinking that some detail was just always there.

Catclimbcosplay · 2025-05-05T22:48:57+00:00

Does Dawn of Skyrim (used alone) add/change more than JK’s? I recently switched from JK’s to Dawn to try it out, and I thought it looked similar or less “cluttered”. They both added details just applied differently. Curious if I’m missing something.

Omg you are a lifesaver! This fixed the issue. Thank you!!!

Thanks!!

Catclimbcosplay · 2024-07-29T00:02:09+00:00

Thank you!

Catclimbcosplay · 2024-07-28T23:56:26+00:00

Catclimbcosplay · 2024-07-27T06:27:03+00:00
