F.A.Q ***************************************************************** Q. What patch level is required? A. 1.6 for Legendary Edition. No particular requirement for Special/Anniversary Edition. Q. Do I need Dawnguard, Hearthfire or Dragonborn or additional plugins like SKSE? A. If you're on Legendary Edition you'll need Dawnguard. You will also need SKSE and SkyUI to use the MCM that comes with the mod in order to toggle the options added by this mod. Q. Is this mod stable? / compatible with ### / affect performance? A. Collectibles Helper doesn't edit the collectible quests to avoid compatibility issues with mods that do. Everything is handled by a single script. Q. Aren't there already mods out there that do this kind of thing? A. There are but they tend to edit the collection quests directly which may lead to compatibility problemswith other mods that also affect those quests. Collectibles Helper supports the Stones of Barenziah, Jiub's Opus, East Empire Pendants and Ancient Falmer Tomes collectibles. It also comes with functions in the MCM to simply put all undiscovered collectibles straight into your inventory instantaneously, except for East Empire Pendants. Q. I ticked 'Show Map Markers' in the MCM but I don't see map any markers. A. Skyrim can only show a limited number of map markers at a time, so you may have too many quests active in your journal. Turn a few of them off and ensure the respective Collectibles Helper miscellaneous objective is active. Q. How do I remove a 'Collectibles Helper' miscellaneous objective from my journal? A. Untick the respective Show Map Markers option in the MCM to remove the objective from your journal. Q. I've disabled a collection quest in the MCM but I still see a quest objective for it. A. If you've progressed the quest beyond the collecting phase this option will no longer remove the current objective from your journal since it would be kinda pointless at that stage. Q. Can I modify this mod or use any assets from it? A. You can do what ever you want with this mod, with attribution. ***************************************************************** 6. Uninstallation ***************************************************************** If you want to remove the mod permanently: 1. If you have SKSE installed and want to re-enable the Barenziah side quest, untick "Disable" in the MCM before closing the game. 2. Remove the Collectibles Helper.esp and Collectibles Helper.bsa files from your Skyrim data folder. By default this should be either of the following locations: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data or for 64-bit Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim\data 3.
