Skyrim Special Edition

# **Description**

This collection focuses on the improvement of the bad concept of the College of Winterhold made in the vanilla game, now everything is less rushed and you need to truly become a student.

Based upon

- [Jay Serpas' College of Winterhold - Quest Expansion](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/66666) + [At your own pace - AYOP](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52704) + [College Days](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/12615) + [Improved Entry](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/22184) for quest overhauls (it needs USSEP). I am not 100% sure about the compatibility between AYOP and College Days, but is patched in xEdit.
- Ultimate College of Winterhold - An Immersive COW + Obscure's COW, it adds new rooms and completely overhauls the ambiance, visuals, and architecture of the College, where the new textures are MRF's White and Gold Winterhold College.
- NPCs are based upon Northbourne NPCs of Winterhold, which alters the appearance of every NPC in Winterhold, so, if you face any Black Face bug or something related to NPCs you have to patch yourself, I suggest using [EasyNPC](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52313).

***

# Requirements

One of my four SKSE-dependent essential collections is required:

- [SKSE and Behaviours Essentials](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/h2uqa3) (For 1.6.353 Game Version) *OR*
- [(SE) SKSE and Behaviours Essentials](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/tokqpx) (For 1.5.97 Game Version) *OR*
- [Truly Essentials for AE 1.6.353](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/llafgc/) (For 1.6.353 Game Version) *OR*
- [Truly Essentials for SE 1.5.97](https://next.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/collections/35nbpy/) (For 1.5.97 Game Version)

Try to mark light every plugin possible, in Vortex's plugin tab. And please, ignore Vortex saying Immersive College is incompatible with the OCW college plugin, they are compatible via Ultimate College, don't worry.

***

## ⚠ Compatibility ⚠

- Compatible with every Magic Overhaul or Addon, if the considered mod does not touch the College.
- Highly likely to be incompatible with any mod that aims to change/edit the College's rooms, quests, or NPCs.

***

# FAQ:

> How stable is the collection?

I didn't play through all the quests of the College, so this is like a beta release, I tested the beginning, and some of Jay's quest expansion quests, and everything worked, and everything was patched in xEdit, but I am not 100% sure that every quest is 100% bug-free, sorry, because this demands lots and lots of time, so I expect some help/feedback from the community regarding stability and bugs. So download the collection "at your own peril".

> I can't pass Faralda, there is just the persuade option to visit the college, what is wrong?

You need at least a minimum level in any school of magic, this is a feature from [At Your Own Pace - AYOP](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/52704) that can be edited in the MCM menu if you have SkyUI, the default value to enter the college is 10 in any school. The same applies to proceeding in the College Questline.

> I can't progress the Questline, why?

Read the last question/answer.

> There is the optional dialogue that I'm visiting the college, although I didn't choose this option...

There is an issue with my patch, I haven't fixed yet, but this will interfere with absolutely nothing regarding the questline, one day I might fix it, I just don't know how yet.

***

## Suggestions

I highly suggest magic overhauls such as Odin and Mysticism and spell learning/discovery/research/crafting mods such as Spell Research or Dino's Spell Discovery, and the amazing [Immersive Spell Learning DESTfied](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/45514), or [Spell Tutor](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/45275) or [Spelltome Studies](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/71565) as well, so you don't just eat the bloody books.

If you want a complete and absolute overhaul of all instances of Magic in the game, please use my magic collection:

<details><summary>❕important warnings</summary>
### ❗ Every collection of mine is tested on a brand new Steam installation (downgraded to 1.6.640) before upload, so, they all absolutely work and I ensure it. All of my collections are semi-compatible with each other (except the SE and AE counterparts, of course), you can use as many as you want to build your modlist and then manually tweak them, and make your bashed patch. If you have any questions or uncertainties, feel free to contact me on Discord or here on Nexus.

### ❗ If you intend to use several of my collections, please, test one at a time, and for now, if you are a noob at modding, try not to install all of them, think of a character and make a modlist around him/her/they/it.

### ❗If you're going to install several collections, you will come across FOMOD Installer options, please, look at the options carefully, and ALWAYS pay attention to individual mod installation instructions I provide with the collection installation, I'll suggest patches and required options for you to select.
