Description ***************************************************************** The East Empire Company commissions the Dragonborn to slay a dragon that is interrupting trade routes throughout Skyrim. But is the dragon stirring up trouble with a particular reason and what sinister motive does it have for its actions? Wyrmstooth adds a new quest that takes the Dragonborn to the island of Wyrmstooth situated north of Solitude across the Sea of Ghosts. Battle across new landscapes and through new dungeons in this expansion-sized mod. The task may seem simple enough: slay a dragon that's stirring up trouble. But things never quite go that easily... Key Features: * A New Land to Explore: Travel north across the Sea of Ghosts to the island of Wyrmstooth in pursuit of a dragon. Delve into one of the largest dungeons in Tamriel with a cadre of mercenaries at your disposal. * Your Home is Your Castle: Purchase an abandoned imperial fort from Lurius Liore, make it your own, hire new staff, and defend it from unwanted visitors. * New Weapons, Shields, Spells, and a new Shout: Treasures sequestered across the island reward those with a keen sense of exploration...and a keener ability to fend off danger lurking in the depths of the many dungeons found across the island. ***************************************************************** 2.

Note: Internally it's still called WTDragonHunt. - Quests that should only be run once are now specifically set to only run once. - Wyrmstooth NPCs are now placed into their positions only once you meet quest start requirements. Lurius and Theodyn should no longer be seen idling in the Bannered Mare before the quest starts. - The quest 'Barrow of the Wyrm' no longer starts in the background when the mod is loaded.

If anyone else spots any more mistakes, please let me know. - Fixed another issue where sometimes phantom form would spawn in with a male body if the player character is female.

Scaling is based on the damage output of the player's currently held weapon. - Vulom will now teleport around during his fight if he has 10% health remaining or more to be a pain in the ass. - Having Vulom teleport around also helped fix an issue where he'd stop casting spells at the player after awhile. - Gave Vulom a package to pursue the player as long as the player remains inside his tomb. So no more hiding. - Fixed an issue where sometimes Vulom didn't play the animation where he'd rise up out of his sarcophagus. - Added a couple more warlocks to Malentis' library. - Malentis' simulacrum is now named Malentis' Simulacrum rather than just Simulacrum. - Increased the level scaling of Malentis' Simulacrum. - Added an option to the MCM to alert you when Wyrmstooth starts up in the background. - Removed the restoration perks from Vulom as he no longer uses healing spells aside from Drain Life.

Vulthurkrah now shouts the player to the ground with a 'Dragonbornrend' shout before speaking. - The other wolf that was still at Ancient's Ascent should now also be found in Bonechill Passage during Wyrmstooth, so it doesn't potentially interfere with Vulthurkrah's new scene. - The mercenaries now accompany Lurius as he travels to the Red Wave at Solitude docks, rather than them all traveling separately. - Wyrmstone and Brimstone ore veins have been replaced for now until new armor and weapon sets can be made for the mod. - Added states to a bunch of papyrus scripts to prevent them from potentially triggering multiple times under odd circumstances. - Reduced the saturation slightly on Elmera's armor texture. - Lurius is now teleported to the Red Wave interior if the player sleeps at the start of Barrow of the Wyrm, just in case a mod breaks pathfinding to the Red Wave. - Valstadt can no longer be staggered in combat. - Valstadt can now be found sitting on his new bone throne in Cragwater Cavern.

The mercenaries will now be teleported to the top of the shaft in the Luminatory if they are really far away when entering the dragon's lair in Dimfrost Luminatory, if they are currently following. -

Made a duplicate ShoutFromPerch package template for Vulthurkrah to work around problems introduced by other mods changing the way the original package template functions. - Fixed an issue where the switch that the draugr needs to activate in Wyrmstooth Barrow Temple could potentially be activated before Alberthor puts you in control of the draugr. -

F.A.Q. ***************************************************************** Q. What patch level is required? A. You should be running Skyrm patch 1.8 or higher. No patch requirement for Special Edition. Q. Do I need Dawnguard, Hearthfire or Dragonborn to play Wyrmstooth? A. No DLC is required to play Wyrmstooth. Q. Do I need any other additional mods or plugins like SKSE? A. Wyrmstooth includes an MCM which requires SKSE and SkyUI, but it's not mandatory and Wyrmstooth will function fine without it. Q. Do I need to start a new game or can I install this mid-way through my playthrough? A. You don't need to start a new game to play Wyrmstooth. Q. Is the mod stable? A. As stable as it can be. It has been tested extensively and, as of 1.19, as far as we're aware it is not responsible for any CTDs. If you are experiencing instability please sort your load order with a program like LOOT and ensure you aren't maxing out your VRAM with retextures. Q. How do I start the questline? A. By default Wyrmstooth starts when you reach level 10 and have finished the main quest 'Way of the Voice'. An imperial courier named Theodyn Bienne will track you down starting from the Bannered Mare in Whiterun. You can change these conditions in the MCM to suit your playthrough. Q. What kind of performance impact does Wyrmstooth have on Skyrim? A. The overall impact on performance should be negligible. Most of the adventure takes place in a separate worldspace and the only cell from the base game that Wyrmstooth modifies is the interior of the Red Wave. ***************************************************************** 7. Troubleshooting ***************************************************************** Q. I can't find Lurius Liore at the Bannered Mare in Whiterun nor can I find Theodyn Bienne. A. Firstly make sure you meet quest starting requirements. You can configure these conditions in the MCM. Mods that change the Bannered Mare interior may prevent Lurius and Theodyn from appearing where they should be. If you have a mod like that installed, try unloading it. Q. I can't speak to Theodyn; he doesn't say anything at all. Nor does Lurius Liore. A. A few things can cause this: 1. If you have Requiem installed, make sure you've installed the latest patch. 2. If you have the mod 'Sneak Tools' installed, remove your hood. 3. Confirm that you only have ONE Wyrmstooth.esp and ONE Wyrmstooth.bsa file in your Data folder. 4. If you have a loose Wyrmstooth.SEQ file in your Data or Data\SEQ folders, remove it. 5. Try sorting your load order with a program like LOOT. Q. I can't find the mercenaries on the road to Falkreath. A. If the mercenaries can't be placed where they need to be you should be able to find them in the Deadman's Drink in Falkreath. You may have a mod installed that deletes XMarker 0008F648. This XMarker is part of the base game and is used by the random encounter system. Q. The game crashed after I arrived on Wyrmstooth! A. Random crashes on Wyrmstooth can be caused by the following: 1. If you repacked the Wyrmstooth.bsa archive or merged it with another archive, do not compress it. There is a bug in the game engine that causes a crash if the game cannot read an XWM music file from a BSA archive compressed with Bethesda's archive tool. 2. Make sure you aren't maxing out your VRAM with retextures or higher poly assets. 5. Try sorting your load order with a program like LOOT. Q. I can't seem to talk to the wolf Faelor. A. Try fast traveling to a nearby location and return or use 'enable' and 'disable' console commands on Faelor to reset actor state. The Unofficial Skyrim Patch also seems to solve this problem. Q. LOD mesh (super low-res objects/textures) aren't disappearing when I get close. A. Install the compatibility patch for Warburg's Paper Map. Q. I don't see any map markers for Wyrmstooth-specific quests. A. This is a problem with the vanilla game if you have too many quests active at one time. Try turning a few quests off in your journal that you aren't currently working on. Q. I'm getting an infinite load screen! A. Install Safety Load or SKSE. If you've made any LOD z-fighting ini tweaks, reverse them. If the ILS is occuring when traveling back to Skyrim, make sure another mod isn't deleting XMarker 0004C488. Try unloading any mods that modify the Solitude docks then check to see if that makes a difference. If the ILS is occuring when starting the game (i.e.: main menu won't load) and you're using Requiem, make sure you're using the latest compatibility patch. Q. Lurius and the mercenaries are stuck at the mining settlement and won't move... Alberthor isn't saying anything outside the closed gate... The dragon isn't flying away after encountering him in his lair... Things that should be happening aren't or there's a huge delay... A. You're most likely experiencing script lag. NPCs will trigger certain scenes only at specific stages of the quest, but if papyrus is lagging these scenes may be delayed or may not occur at all. One solution is to tweak the priority given to papyrus using the following Skyrim.ini entries: [Papyrus] fUpdateBudgetMS=800.0 fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=800.0 fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=2000.0 iMinMemoryPageSize=256 iMaxMemoryPageSize=512 iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=153600 Q. I see floating rocks/grass in interiors or grass isn't showing up on Wyrmstooth. A. This is an issue with the base game. The Unofficial Skyrim Patch appears to fix this issue for the most part. Q. I can't pick up a new word at a word wall. A. Make sure you're not currently in combat. ***************************************************************** 8.

Remove the Wyrmstooth.esp and Wyrmstooth.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. Load or restore from backup a save taken prior to installing Wyrmstooth. *OR* Refer to SuperSajuuk's document on manually removing Wyrmstooth script files from your save file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lj6d98yy8ohcoh3/Uninstalling%20Skyrim%20Mods.pdf?dl=0 ***************************************************************** 11.
