Tracy, I don't mod, but I found lots of videos on you tube on how to install these.

For instance There is a short one here and a Longer one here.

Thanks and hope you all are having a great time with this!

Tracy the mods that I know are installed by drag and drop into the Skyrim data folder. I have Windows 7 64 bit and it is found at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim

probably a 32 bit would be C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\skyrim

then you just cut and paste the mod into the data folder.

Speaking of mods, I downloaded the divorce mod and have divorced my wife and remarried and it worked fine. I now have Jarl helpers (I forget what they are called but they accompany me when I ask them to) at everyone of my houses and a wife who gives me money and food every time I visit. I also have a helper at the Dark Brotherhood place and have done Azura's Star quest so the girl at that shrine will accompany me when asked as well. So I have a regular Army of companions but can only get them one at a time. I also use my wife to sell my stuff too until she runs out of money.

I am about to decide between the Imperials or the stormcloaks and since I did the stormcloaks the first time through will be doing the imperials this go around to get the different quests. I have been doing the continueing quests of the Dark Brotherhood and the Companions (which seem to be on a continuous loop) in order to build up my character but now think it's time to join the war.

I'm trying to do a side quest and for the life of me I can't find Steepfall Burrow. I see it on the map, I set a marker right on it and then go to that spot, only to see nothing there.

I must be missing something obvious, but I can't seem to find the darn thing anywhere.

On another note, my favorite quest to date has to be the one with the Daedric Prince of Madness. It was a nice change of pace with some funny moments too.

Okay, I realize that my character is an assassin/thief and spends most of her time sneaking around and when she isn't stealing things she's murdering people, but seriously, how does a girl get a date in this game?

Maybe some of you happily married Skyrimers out there can give this elf some advice?


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Thanks so much Looney and Oldman! I've gotten my mod installed and am eagerly looking for more now! smile

Sounds like you're having quite a time Oldman btw---awesome!

Templeton, I'm sure you looked there but just to be sure. According to Wiki,
Quote:
Steepfall Burrow is a small cave in north Skyrim. It can be found west of Solitude and northwest of Dragon Bridge.


I don't think I've been there yet. I do know that sometimes the place I'm looking for is on the other side of the mountain even though it looks like I'm in the right spot according to the marker. luck

Tempelton - sometimes the exit and entrance are quite a distance from the actual location and mountains don't help in finding them. Would following nearby mountain paths help?

Am involved with a pesky frost dragon, boy, he's tough. I've gotta get past him to get to Azura.

This is an amazing game however Oblivion ran alot smoother. Playing on PS. Skyrim dungeons/caves etc are much more interesting.

Alot of work, thought put into Skyrim. Hooray!!

Thanks everyone. I finally found it. It was quite a ways away from where it actually seemed like it would be.

It seems like it should be right next to the Thalmor Embassy according to the map, but it's not even close.

That was the most difficult location to find so far, usually I don't have a problem.

Oh cool, the forum is so festive.

I'm wondering why when I obliterate the Imperial camps, the camp's Legate is always unkillable. Has anyone else had trouble with this? I've been specifically told to obliterate the camps, so is it a bug and is there a way around it?

no bug, smoosh. i've finished the imperial quest and was told the same thing as you. but the stormcloak captain never dies. maybe you need the leader in case you replay the quest but on the other side

finally got that dragon but had to use sneeky tactics. must improve the bow and arrow thing.

no capital letters because kitty is asleep on my lap on my left arm and must not disturb her.

Yankee, I love your last sentence. wave12

To kill dragons I
Click to reveal..
Call my flame atronach. Then let my follower, currently Lydia, attack. Then whip out the bow and arrow. I also use whatever potion I can on it. I have had better luck against dragons since I took the point in archery that lets you zoom in and slow down time a bit. I have also found that I can't damage then unless they are already attacking someone else or when they flare to attack me. Course, when they are attacking me I have to use way too many potions to stay alive, so for me, getting them to attack someone else so I can attack from stealth works best. I think using a flame bow would also really help as there are no creatures immune to it I don't think.


Have fun!

Dragons:
Click to reveal..
Lightfoot around the area where dragon can land and where there are some places to hide behind. Then entice him to land - this takes awhile. Meanwhile when he snorts fire hide behind a barrier so the fire won't affect your health. When he's flying I use the bow and arrow but when he lands I get close(not too) and not directly in front and use magic/weapons. The most difficult part is getting him to land. And staying alive of course. [spoiler]

Hi all,
I'm doing town quests now. Have finished all the factions and am now just looking to find as many quests as possible before I resume the main quest. I just finished with the greybeards I think as far as the main quest goes.

Anyway in the process of hunting for quests I've found a talking dog who led me on a merry chase and I saw a headless horseman ghost. I followed the ghost for a long ways and then lost him. I'm just wondering if he is just an easter egg of sorts or if it is a quest that I lost because I lost him. Hmmm, think I'll google it.

Anyway this is the most fun I've had in a game since Witcher. I'll probably pick another character and play through once again when I finish with my high elf even though King Graham is waiting in the wings impatiently.

Hi again. Tonight I was in a Daedric mood so I've been doing the Daedric quests, but when it came to Boethiah, I'm having a problem. I found her shrine (sacellum) but no one is there and I haven't found a copy of the book that I need either. I'm not sure if this is just a bug or something, but I'd love to be able to do this quest and so I was wondering if you guys had trouble, and if you did, how you fixed it?

Thanks so much!
Tracy smile

Oldman: I've seen the headless horseman three times now, always in different places. I believe it is an Easter Egg, and I think he's leading us somewhere. I just finished a merry romp with my drinking buddy Sam.

Hi everyone! santa

I've come to join you in Skyrim. The game was supposed to be a Christmas present but last Friday I missed a step and broke a bone in my ankle. Since I now have to stay off my feet and can't do housework, my husband decided to give me the game early. So here I am in my cast which doesn't prevent me from sneaking and setting all Skyrim problems aright.

I'm playing as a thief/archer with one-handed as a backup. That's my favourite game style. I'm surprised that the wilderness isn't quite as dangerous as in Morrowind and Oblivion. I hardly run across any bad things while exploring. I had a hard time finding the difficulty level but when I found it it was at the midle difficulty level so I have just left it there for now. I'm really enjoying this.

Welcome, Rowan, and happy bone-mending.

I ran into a bug yesterday, in the "Revealing the Unseen" quest. If you leave the area without finishing the puzzle, when you return the puzzle is "frozen" and you won't be able to finish it. Sigh. Well, next time...

And werewolf unhappiness: after spending a whole night trying to avoid being killed, I returned to my human self only to have people sniff loudly and make comments about wet dogs.

Hey, Rowan, glad to see you here in Skyrim.

I was initially a bit put off by the lack of enemies in the wilderness, but I think they balanced everything nicely. All in all, I'm impressed. The map is much bigger than I'd originally thought, there are hundreds of places to explore, and I'm only just starting the main quest at level 37 (oops).

In fact, at level 37 I haven't even completed any of the guilds, having sneaked and archered my way up the levelling screen without really thinking ahead. Got sidetracked for two weeks, actually. You're playing the same character class as me, as usual, I see.


I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
