About this mod

Alternate Start Reborn reimagines the starting experience in Alternate Start - Live Another Life. Instead of waking in a dark prison cell, you begin in a dreamlike Ayleid ruin, surrounded by mystical light and ancient stone. This is a purely aesthetic change—functionality remains the same, allowing you to choose your path as before.

“Dreams and destiny intertwine beneath starlit ruins…”

This is my first released mod, and it's a simple but enchanting reimagining of Alternate Start - Live Another Life. The cold, dreary prison cell is no more—in its place, a dreamlike Ayleid ruin bathed in soft, arcane light. Instead of Mara’s warm embrace, Azura’s guiding hand now shapes your fate. The bed has become a shimmering arcane circle, and beyond the windows, only the endless void remains. The essence of the mod is unchanged—only the setting and a few text elements have been gently woven into this new mystical theme.

I poured a lot of love into this, and I hope it brings a little extra wonder to your journey. 

✧ Requirements ✧
You’ll need Alternate Start - Live Another Life and any of its requirements including Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch - USSEP.

✧ Load Order ✧
Make sure this mod and any of its patches load after Alternate Start - Live Another Life and any patches related to it.

✧ Compatibility ✧
  • An Alternate Start Race Menu Activator patch is available! The Shrine of Mara has been replaced with an ancient runic stone, perfect for those who seek Azura’s wisdom.
  • A Southbound Scouts patch is also available if you'd rather not start in prisoner’s clothes. This option lets you begin with a more mystical outfit, though you’ll need FSMP - Faster HDT-SMP for the robes to work their magic. Bodyslide files are included for the robes so they do not affect armors added by Southbound Scouts.
These patches are highly recommended to complete the dreamlike feel of the mod!
