About this mod

A few addons I've made for Skyrim Underground, including a writing patch, uniques, and some mod integrations.

Changelogs
Formerly 'Skyrim Underground - Writing Patch.'  Version 2.0 is a consolidation of all my Skyrim Underground patches into a single mod page. If you have the old Beyond Skyrim or Creation Club integration patch(es), you don't need to download them again.


I like Skyrim Underground a hell of a lot. It's weird, but not too weird to throw into a 'serious' save. I intended to make a larger overhaul of the mod, but ending up shelving the project for the time being. These patches are the finished bits of that project.

Unofficial Addon:
Spoiler:  
Show
  • This is a merge of my writing patch and uniques patch, the old separate versions are available under Miscellaneous files, if you only want one of them.
  • Includes unique models for the Heavy Dwarven Claymore, Mother's Hate warhammer, and Mother's Love necklace.
  • Book covers! Several are provided by BURP (included w/ permission), the rest were made with the BCS resources by DanielCoffey. 
  • A series of sensible edits (in my opinion) to anything text-related in Skyrim Underground and the 2022 addon. Most of the changes are typos, punctuation, sentence pacing, and formatting. Occasionally certain lines were rephrased/reformatted to feel more in line with the style of Vanilla Skyrim. I didn't make any structural changes to the quests, but they'll be presented in what I hope is a more pleasing way. I was careful to keep the author's original narrative and themes intact, and not editorialize too much.

    The exceptions to this subtle approach are the changes to two specific items and one of the monsters related to them. Shoggoth testicles and demon breast milk are too out-there for me, personally.

    Mara demons are now possessed statues, Mara demon milk is now concentrated ectoplasm, and shoggoth testicles are now shoggoth tumors. The relevant passages in the book 'Exotic Alchemy' have been tweaked to accommodate the changes. To see the nitty-gritty of what I changed, load the plugin in xEdit and compare my edits to the original text.

Beyond Skyrim Integration:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • The merchants of the Underground have had a few items from Beyond Skyrim added to their store inventories, based on their existing stock.
  • Discover a new (mostly) subterranean passage between Skyrim and Cyrodiil. There's also a small subplot conveyed through some notes I wrote up for fun.
  • Beyond Skyrim outfits and weapons have been given to some NPCs in Skyrim Underground, where it would make sense.
  • Certain creatures (Scamps, zombies, rats, minotaurs, snow goblins) from Skyrim Underground will now match the ones added by Beyond Skyrim: Bruma. Snow goblins have a new texture based on the Bruma goblins.
  • Unique zombie NPCs (Jarl Rangulf, Knut, Grinn) will also look like the Bruma zombies.
  • The zombie mask and zombie ear necklace models will also match the BS Bruma zombies
  • All instances of zombie flesh are replaced by the expected BS Bruma zombie drops. 
  • Recipes for mithril armor will now create the Beyond Skyrim version of the set. Conversion between the two variants of each piece can be done at a forge, if you prefer Skyrim Underground's. Tempering recipes will also use mithril ingots instead of quicksilver.
  • Some ingredients from Skyrim Underground will show up in Beyond Skyrim Bruma, rats giving rat tails, liches giving lich hearts, dreughs giving wax, etc. in addition to their normal loot.


Adamantium Addon:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • The Helm of Tohan uses the new textures from the Adamantium Addon to match the armor set.
  • Temper recipes now use Beyond Skyrim's adamantium.


Wares of Tamriel: 
Spoiler:  
Show
  • Mithril ore from Skyrim Underground can now be used to make mithril ingot from WoT. You'll probably want TheShiningAbsol's patch as well to make sure everything's using one mod's mithril. 
  • The central vendor for Wares of Tamriel may have some Skyrim Underground items in stock, including mithril armor and some of the mod's books.


Creation Club Zombies:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Similar to the Beyond Skyrim patch, the zombies from Skyrim Underground will now match the ones added by the Plague of the Dead Creation. All instances of zombie flesh have been swapped to mort flesh.
  • Unique zombie NPCs (Jarl Rangulf, Knut, Grinn) will also look like the CC zombies.
  • The zombie mask and zombie ear necklace models will also match accordingly.
  • Some Skyrim Underground enemies will summon CC zombies in combat
