These games drive me crazy

STOP GIVING ME QUESTS PEOPLE I HAVE TOO MANY

Sir Carcass

I can never say no, either. "sure, I'll find your lost cat. It just might take a little while."

Stormwatcher

Enig

It's not the worst problem in the world to have too much to do in a game, but for the sake of immersion and pacing there are some good mods I can recommend (MCM required):

Timing is Everything - allows adjusting when certain quests become available based on character level and progress in the main storyline
Thieves Guild Requirements - only get invited to the thieves guild if you are actually a thieving type (reqs adjustable)
The Choice is Yours - prevents a lot of quests getting stuffed into your log against your will

So, I managed to contract vampirism pretty early in (level 10). What's the easiest way to get rid of it?

BionicPenguin

Full on vampirism or just sanuinare vampiris? The latter can be cured very easily with a cure disease potion or by using a shrine. If it's actual vampirism, do this.

Not quite sure. I've been in two vampire dens (Bloodlet Throne and Hamael's Shame). I got a notification that the sun was coming up and that I felt weaker. Is there a way to check?

Go to your active effects in your magic menu. If you see Sanguinare Vampiris with the description "Reduces Health by 25. Progresses to Vampirism", you still have time to use a potion of cure disease or to pray at a shrine. If you see a frost resist and fire weakness effect saying "your vampiric blood gives you a resistance/weakness to frost/fire", then you are a vampire. Talk to an innkeeper and ask about rumors to start the vampire cure quest.

Lavender Gooms

Also check to see if you can enter someone's house uninvited, if you're suddenly unable to make yourself cross bridges over rivers, and if trying to pick up garlic makes you nauseated. There are no mirrors in Tamriel so that removes the easiest way of finding out, but those first ones should still work.

Or see if you sparkle in the sunlight.

The Judge

NPCs will also mention that you look a little sick.

For a moment I thought this was an actual thing.

Got it. I was in early stages, so the Cure Disease potion worked. Thanks!

Toxic Pickle

The way diseases and cures work in Skyrim, I always feel a little foolish if I don't just run off and get cured whenever vampirism pops up. Like... I actively have to want to be a vampire to ignore the signs for three whole days, rather than take advantage of the many cures presenting themselves before me every few minutes.

BionicPenguin

Seriously. How often does someone go three days without coming across a shrine? You can even find one in some bandit forts.

NEO|Phyte

So, decided to install the creation kit to take a peek at Hearthfire stuff to maybe attempt that mod I was asking about, and I think I can see why nobody's tried it yet. Unless there's an easy way to separate out which bits are tied to what constructed wing.

Lavender Gooms

Oh god i'm in some real trouble here.

Alternate Start has a new option for Nords- starting as Erik the Slayer's childhood friend. That combined with the Take Notes mod I have installed probably means i'm going to get pretty deep into this again with this character.

That's why you get a mod that adds actual medicine, and removes shrine healing.

Suddenly this vampire bite is a bit worrying.

Mild Confusion

I just made blessings last forever, which incidentally leads to the same result, cause I keep forgetting I can just remove diseases with blessings :P

Any quest lines I want to wait on before doing? Like, so that the rewards are levelled? I'm tempted to run over and start Dawnguard, but I'm only level 12.

There are mods that upgrade leveled rewards with you as you level, or ones that just make quests give you the best reward possible. I forget which i'm using, but leveled rewards are always crap in games especially if the reward is unique.

I'll try and dig up that best reward possible one. I figure, if I can do it, I should get the prize I deserve.

You might wanna start Dawnguard regardless if just to stop the vamp-attacks in town.

Having gear 40 levels above what you're normally getting might be pretty boring. Pretty sure one of them automatically levels those rewards as you level, so it's a hassle-free way to keep them always current. E: Though it looks like that requires Script Dragon, so just grabbing the spell-cast one is probably better.

Complete Crafting Overhaul Remade, amongst its other nifty features, automatically levels quest rewards if you have them on you when you level up. It also has an MCM option to manually force a level adjustment on any quest rewards in your inventory if you need to. Or you can opt to get a spell to do it.

Upgrade Leveled Items Spell (made by the same guy) is the standalone version of the spell feature.

Polaritie

Leveled rewards aren't quite as big a deal as earlier games unless you're passing on smithing and enchanting though.

Let's face it, nothing competes with legendary grade custom weapons.

I wonder if CCOR is compatible with Immersive Armor and Immersive Weapons...

It is! Immersive Armors v7 was actually developed specifically with CCOR in mind and supports it by default, and a bunch of other equipment mods have patches to get their crafting recipes and values in line with CCOR's changes to vanilla items. Some (Bandolier, Jaysus Swords, Jewelcraft) are integrated directly into CCOR, and can be added to your game through the MCM without even needing the original .esp, though you do need the original meshes and textures. The aMidianBorn Content Addon was actually put together by CCOR's author, and designed specifically for it.

Immersive Weapons also works fine, but there isn't a patch for crafting rebalances for it.

When I say that I highly recommend this mod, I mean that I highly recommend this mod.

Jewelry. Smithing progression in the current version of the game is based on the value of the items you create, so you always want to make whatever has the highest value compared to the number of materials you put in. Like jewelry.

Lavender Gooms

I've spent more time writing in my new character's journal than I have playing her.

I guess I should link the mod: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/48375

Coulda been a laundry washer or a whole saler :P

Ninja Snarl P

Or just... a regular merchant. Such as the kind who deal in fine cloth. Which was a pretty huge thing for hundreds of years.

So, more likely, you butchered a harmless law-abiding cloth merchant. :P

Toxic Pickle

If it was a merchant added by Immersive Patrols, they tend to be pretty specialized, and I could totally see one who sold nothing but fine clothes. Most of them aren't worth my time even to browse through their inventory... I just use them to off-load the junk I've found.

Or, you know, it could have been a serial killer.

He sold other stuff but it was all clothing based

which if fine by me fine clothes have a weight of 1 and a value of 50. I can get some cash out of this
