FALMEROON

Legacy of the Snow Elves

By Mr. C. Racer

Since Bethesda released Dawnguard, it felt wrong that there was no snow elf ruins anywhere in the province, and that's why I made this mod. The logic I've followed is that the nords and their dragon masters burnt everything falmer-related they found to the ground; thus, you'll find most of my ruins in snowy places (they were the snow elves, after all), and very out of the way. If you can't (or lack the patience to) find them, you can spoil yourself their locations with the included text file.


But ruins is not the only thing adventurers live off. The mod also includes:


- New dungeons, some of them configured for radiant quests.

- New lore books, written by yours truly.

- New loot.

- New enemies.

- One simple quest.

COMPATIBILITY

-------------

1. The mod is compatible with all my other mods but one: A Fitting Throne for Vyrthur. If you're using it, you can deactivate it because the throne is already included in Falmeroon.


2. The new books are included in the vanilla leveled lists so you can find them while playing. Which means, if you're using other mods that change the same lists, you'll need Wrye Bash to make them work together through a bashed patch.


3. I don't have Hearthfire so I can't test for incompatibilities, but considering how out of the way my ruins are, I expect very few, or none.


4. Other incompatibilites may arise (like other mods using the same exterior spaces). I'll deal wit them as they come.

REQUIREMENTS

------------

- Dawnguard DLC.


- Dragonborn DLC.

INSTALLATION

------------

Unzip all the files and drop them on your Skyrim/Data folder, overwriting if asked, and activate the plugin in the Skyrim launcher. The file has been fully cleaned with TES5Edit 3.0.32.

BUGS / THINGS TO BE AWARE OF

----------------------------

1. Some exterior cells lack a navmesh because Bethesda didn't build it. As touching it is very dangerous, I've made only minimum changes, so you will find some locations where your companions can't follow you. It doesn't bother me because I never use companions, but if you do, just tell them to wait.


2. Likewise, although all dungeons are completely navmeshed, there're some very simple platforming parts where your companions will get stuck. Sometimes a little force push will help, sometimes it won't.

I'd really like to download this, but TES Alliance has failed twice now to send me a validation email when registering there. I'm not thrilled about having to register to download in the first place, and then not getting the email to actually GET registered is also annoying.

This is a case where dropbox or google docs would be a better venue.

Looking forward to checking it out. Thanks!

You appear to have uploaded very tiny thumbnail images as if they were full-size images in the mod's gallery...

You're right. That's weird, it copied the thumbnails instead of the picture when I drag-and-dropped them. It's fixed now, thanks for the heads-up.

So I guess you haven't put it somewhere else? I still haven't received either email so that I can register on tesalliance. And yes, I've checked my spam folders. Not there, not in inbox, nowhere.

I don't know why that happens, I've never had a problem with TESAlliance. I could always upload the files to Mega, but I've never seen anyone use it here so I don't know if there's some kind of rule or prejudice against it in the forum, like "OMG Mega is piracy" or something.

Well, I don't use mega. I guess you'll just have to do without my input and/or enjoyment. I still haven't received any contact from tesalliance. I guess it's a really good thing I don't need them to help me learn to mod....

If you need another mirror then http://www.theassimilationlab.com/tal-services.html#mirroring (TAL) is for you and AFAIK TAL has the largest file size (max 6 Gb) in the community, because a hosted mod there doesn't requires registration before downloading a mod without any ads or a countdown.

Of there is also http://afkmods.iguanadons.net/index.php?/topic/4046-upload-file-size-limit/, but it has a file size of max 512 MB, unless Arthmoor recently changed that.

English version now available in the Steam Workshop too. Link in the first post.
