Into the Abyss - not part of this mod or officially part of the series but features a couple of cut levels that have been a bit repurposed as they didn't fit in Re-Cut.
Q&A
Aren't there other mods that do this?
Yes, absolutely. There are plenty of good mods that do this already however none of them seemed to be as extensive as this one. I have literally added almost everything I could find that wasn't straight up broken or heavily reliant on a removed quest. Some parts have also been done a bit differently as there's almost nothing left of some parts so a little personal interpretation had to be used. This is also part of a series which is broken up into pieces so you can pick and choose which parts you may or may not want to keep, so if Solitude conflicts with too much for you but you still like Hjaalmarch you can keep one and remove the other.
No quests?
Not at the moment, sorry. I think there's a reason a lot of the cut quests haven't been touched and that's because it's like trying to assemble a jigsaw in a foreign language with no instructions and plenty of pieces either being wrong or missing. That also includes almost anything to do with the Civil War. There are
already some mods that do a lot of that and it would take an absolute Creation Kit master to be able to restore some of the stuff that hasn't been already.
Isn't this all just removed cut content added back to the game? What do you mean by your tags of "cut, unused and created"?
Cut means you can find reference to it in the files or other sources like the strategy guide but wasn't literally present in the files. I tried my best to recreate it how Bethesda may have done but can't guarantee it's 100% how they would have done it. Unused means I basically just put it back in the game because it couldn't be found anywhere in the in-game world. Created means I added it in myself because it was just logical, such as an inkeeper to an unused inn or Thalmor in the Thalmor Headquarters. I have tried to restore everything as faithfully as I possibly could but some of it simply had next to nothing left to work with and required some of my own input.
What's next for Re-Cut?
Firstly, thanks to everyone for the feedback. This was basically just my first real big foray into modding to see if I could do it. I would still like to potentially add more to the series but now that I think I have a bit more of a grip on it I would also like to do other things as well so will also be working on a big mod that stemmed from an idea that sprouted during this one - that mod was Into the Abyss which you can find linked above.
Compatibility
This mod should work on pre-existing saves and be okay to install mid-game but certain parts like Anoriath going outside and the stables scene can depend on player progress.
I actually made sure that it would work with a few other popular mods like all of the Creation Club content, the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, ESO / Legends Imports, Populated Skyrim and a few smaller scale ones like Khajiit Caravan Mules. There will be a lot of conflicts with other mods that restore cut content to some of the same places like Cutting Room Floor, Cut Content Restoration and similar mods. Whiterun, Morthal, Falkreath and possibly Windhelm will all potentially have some conflicts with city overhaul mods. Don't attempt to use this with any other ReCut mods aside from Annniversary as they are all included and will conflict. If you only want certain bits then download one of the separate mods in the series that you can find above or on my profile.
It can work on any version of Special Edition as it doesn't use anything from the Creation Club but if you're not playing one of the latest versions of Skyrim you will need a mod like Backported Extended ESL Support for it to work properly.
