Please, make sure you READ THIS before asking me for help. I'm not a 24/7 customer support hotline and the quest stages are the simplest things in the world, this is not a complicated mod, if it's not working it's simply an incompatibility from another mod in your load order and it will require manual tweaking from your side. For the record, I've spent a couple of days testing it in my 500 mod load order and never had an issue. I've collected more heads than I thought were possible, but if you keep bringing up the same issues again... I'm the one who's gonna lose his head.
COMMON ISSUE #1: ONE OF THE BOUNTY QUESTS IS NOT ADVANCING! - Well, that means you have an incompatible mod installed. Most likely a mod that adds custom rewards per bounty type. This is ALREADY included in my mod if you're using Missives (Vanilla and Missive quest rewards are synced). Just use the MCM of Missives to configure the reward. If you have another mod that modifies these rewards, it will NOT be compatible. Examples of incompatible mods that do the same: Bounty Gold SSE / Economy Overhaul / Perk Points & More Gold for Bounty...
COMMON ISSUE #2: THE BANDIT IS DEAD BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A HEAD ON THEM! - Same answer above. It can help to check on xEdit to see what's modifying the quest in question. If we're talking vanilla bounty quests, the quests are called BQ01, BQ02, BQ03 and BQ04. If you want to use those mods together with mine, you will have to delete their changes to these quests.
COMMON ISSUE #3: STILL NOT WORKING! - If you've done those things and it's still giving you issues, make sure the mods + patches are in the right order: 1. Missives/Notice Board, 2. Headhunter, 3. Headhunter + Missives / TNB patches, 4. SRC patches - Make sure the patches are ACTIVE in your load order (Sounds basic, but I've had 3 cases already of users not activating the plugins... If I was the Jarl, I'd put bounties on all of you! Just kidding, but please, check things from your side before contacting authors or we'll go crazy) - If you're trying to fix a bounty quest IN THE MIDDLE of a bounty quest, it's not going to work. Use console commands to finish this quest, fix what needs to be fixed, and try again. For vanilla bounty quests, this is what you would need to input to force-complete the quest (Bandits:) Setstage BQ01 200 (BQ02 for Forsworn, BQ03 for Giants or BQ04 for dragons)
COMMON ISSUE #4: QUEST IS NOT STARTING! - I do not modify the beginning or distribution of the bounty quests in any way, so I cannot be of much help here. From what I've observed in my marathon of 25 bounty quests to test that the mod is working correctly is: It's possible that if you capture or kill all bandits in a hold, the steward won't have more for you in a while. Teleporting to the location of the steward/Inn sometimes makes the dialogue option for "looking for jobs?" not appear, enter via the door of the Jarl's palace/Inn before talking to the steward or innkeeper for the option to show up.
Again, the mod works fine. If you have an incompatible mod, it will not work (duh). Follow the steps above if you're having issues, and send some love and cool screenshots my way if you're enjoying this mod so I don't lose my head.
I'm getting Vanilla gold reward from Vanilla bounties given by stewards and innkeepers. I didn't install the bounty reward edit because I have Missives but the latter doesn't seem to edit vanilla bounties' reward(atleast on my end). Can I use both of them? or Is that still a bad idea?
I also can't get a prompt from bandits to capture. Whenever they get low, the prompt would just disappear. Even if I kill them I still can't loot them in 3rd person. Maybe it's compatibility with Better third person Camera?
I have a bugged missive. the quest is done (Kill the leader at valtheim towers). The missive is still in my inventory and I can't discard it. I also can't drop it because it's a quest item. any ideas what to do? I brought the bandit back alive and turned him in to a guard. I didn't get a reward. The quest is gone from the journal but the missive remains in the inventory
is it possible to make Skyrim Realistic Conquering compatible? I've cleared one cave near Whiterun, and Guards are there, I need to kill the bandit but the only thing there are whiterun guards an marker pointing at nothing. Any possible fix or patch or something?
I absolutely love this mod; it's a real shame I have to uninstall!
I had problems with Beyond Skyrim: Bruma. Basically, it sends me on a bounty for a goblin, and I think with this installed, it's expecting me to get more from the goblin than the game can give, so it just locks me into an unsolvable quest. I had a go with console commands, but that didn't seem to shift it, with no further bounty quests in the hold.
If anyone knows if there's a patch out there, I'd definitely appreciate it. It's been one of my favourite immersion mods - not looking forward to going back to having to end a giant just for being a giant.
Great mod. But something funny happens when I take the loot from a surrendering badguy. After the Inventory menu closes, the bad guy starts floating away like a released balloon. I have to disable and enable them in the console before they get too far lol.
I had to kill the giant at the Sleeping Giant Camp for Whiterun. Did that, but I have QuickLoot. So as I was collecting the gold the dead giant had, hovering the giant with E, it instead cut off its head...and collected the gold. Now, it completed the quest step to collect the giant's head, and I had the giant's head in my inventory appropriately marked with (Whiterun). So I figured, that was weird, but all's well and good, right? I've done a couple bounties already so with QuickLoot so I figured it was fine.
But I get to Proventus, and despite having the head in my inventory, he kept saying, "You expect me to believe that?" as I tried to tell him the giant was dead, despite me having the head.
I checked SSEEdit to see if something else was modifying BQ03, but it's only Headhunter and the Missives patch from this mod (I do have Missives). Headhunter is loaded after Missives, and the patch is loaded after Headhunter.
It makes me think it was something weird with QuickLoot, but I don't know for sure. I used the console to finish the quest and it progressed just fine, it took the head out of my inventory too. Not really sure what happened, especially since the other bounties have worked.
Just putting this out there for anyone that might be having trouble getting the mod to work. Download "Yield to Me" Mod with the headhunter patch. Comes with Customizable MCM so npcs can kneel even at 90% health if that's what you want. Highly recommended. Your welcome

Stay safe <3
I have tested and can endorse these two:
- Missile's Presets: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/67770/
- Mura Presets: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/62360
Do we get to keep the heads after turning in the bounties?
