Installation Requirements

DO NOT extract the contents of the BSA file into your Data folder as loose files, or let your mod manager perform an equivalent function on the contents of the file. Doing so will cause things to load in the wrong order and break the game. Skyrim is intended to load a BSA alongside it's ESM/ESP file. Circumventing this causes issues which I will not provide support for. If you insist on going against this advice, you will receive no support for the problems you generate as a result of this.

Bring Out Your Dead is a simple yet immersive mod which expands on the number of graves given to the unique NPCs in areas of the game that don't currently have them. Solitude, Windhelm, Whiterun, Riften, and Markarth all have a Hall of the Dead that contains coffins and urns for various unique NPCs who live there. Their items are transferred to their assigned coffin when they die. The smaller cities of Falkreath, Morthal, Dawnstar, and Winterhold do not have these facilities, and neither do the other smaller villages and towns. NPCs living on farms outside the major hold capitols don't get buried in their Hall of the Dead either. This mod aims to correct this and provide for more uniform handling of everyone's dead.Falkreath and Morthal both have graveyards already and have been expanded slightly to hold more. Dawnstar and Winterhold now have their own Halls of the Dead just outside of town. The smaller villages all have space set aside for new graveyards. NPCs living on farms immediately outside the 5 major hold capitols will be given appropriate burial space in the Hall of the Dead for their city if they don't already have it.NPCs marked as essential will not be given a grave since they cannot be killed normally unless the game removes that flag as the result of a completed quest.Official Skyrim patch 1.9.32.0.8 or greater.Official Dawnguard DLC.Official Hearthfire DLC.Official Dragonborn DLC.Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch 3.0.14 or greater.Drop the archive into your Skyrim Mods\Bash Installers folder, then install as usual.Make sure the mod is active in the Wrye Bash mods tab.Use the "Download with Manager" button on the Bring Out Your Dead page at Skyrim Nexus. The installer should take care of things from there.Or add it to NMM manually through the "Add File" dialogue.Then simply make sure NMM has the mod activated.Drop Bring Out Your Dead - Legendary Edition.esp and Bring Out Your Dead - Legendary Edition.bsa into your Data folder.Activate the mod using whatever management tool suits you.Due to the nature of Skyrim mods, especially those adding scripts, it is strongly discouraged to attempt uninstalling a mod from your active game. Any mod that is more than pure mesh or texture replacements has the possibility to leave behind permanent changes to your save that you may not want. This is not something modders can correct for. It is how the game was designed by Bethesda. No support will be provided for anyone who uninstalls this mod from an active game and continues on with that save.To remove the mod: Delete the Bring Out Your Dead - Legendary Edition.esp and Bring Out Your Dead - Legendary Edition.bsa from your Data folder. Then reload your game as usual.This touches numerous NPCs, which can lead to conflicts. Since gravestones aren't in and of themselves terribly important, it's advised to load this mod early on and allow other mods which have other changes to make the ability to take effect.Expanded Towns and Cities has been confirmed to be 100% compatible as of version 2.0.Potential conflict with any mod which is expanding the various cities and villages. If these conflicts are brought to my attention I can attempt to make adjustments for them within reason.This mod is not made, guaranteed, or supported by Zenimax, Bethesda Game Studios, or any of their affiliates.
