As an added bonus, she will make full use of the entire cell in either location, instead of just being narrowly restricted to the main hall areas. This candle will be lit permanently if playing for the vampires to indicate she stays there when dismissed. If they are out, she will stay at Fort Dawnguard. When the flames are lit, she will stay at the castle when dismissed.

If playing as the Dawnguard, Serana can now be directed to move into the castle and use her cleaned up room by lighting the candle on the corner of her nightstand (the one with the cloth mat). As a small added bonus, Fort Dawnguard will get cleaned up properly too. Ownership of the various castle cells will also be marked properly so you won't get accused of stealing the stuff you fought so hard to take. The blacksmith, apothecary, and vendor will offer services appropriate to Dawnguard members. If you're playing as the Dawnguard, cleaning up rooms in the main guildhall area will bring in new Dawnguard members to man the stations that the vampires used to. After all, what are we? Vampires or slovenly trolls? To clear the path to the Courtyard, speak to Garen Marethi as usual. If you are playing as a vampire, your existing vampire minions will continue to provide their normal functions, just in a much cleaner environment. After that all you need is the patience to see things through. You'll need a pickaxe to do so, but that's it. The North Tower is also converted into a player home with safe storage.Īfter the Dawnguard quest line is over, have you ever wondered why nobody bothers to rebuild Castle Volkihar? Harkon may have been an obsessive lazy vampire, but that doesn't mean you need to be! Now you can rebuild the castle as you see fit, whether you're a vampire lord yourself and just want the stinking mess cleaned up, or a member of the Dawnguard seeking to expand into a new base and occupy some new territory.Īt several locations throughout the Main Hall, Volkihar Ruins, Volkihar Courtyard, the Undercroft, and the docks behind the castle will be rubble piles or debris columns you can use to clean up the area around them. A mod to allow the player to clean up the debris and rebuild Castle Volkihar to its former glory.
