For anyone playing this mod, here is a guide along with some additions by myself, hope it is helpful :)

also the loot was very underwelming

what are the smugglers supposed to be smuggeling? apples? also i personaly didnt like the mod since the music didnt work and all the books were 6 pages long and im next to illiterate and dyslexic

Just replayed this mod, I forgot how good it was. Wish it was ported to SSE, oh well. Loved Tel Branis and Ajald.

Awesome. Upvoted.

where is Deras?

Heirloom of Roggnar is at uphill, left side of the orange tent, on the fireplace

Hey, I've been searching very hard for an heirloom for Roggnar in Ajald Village, yet I haven't had any damn luck; any help?

@ Mr Monday, i haven't really seen any of them at Nexus Special Edition mods, far as i can see there is only the link i put up just below yours.
It would be great but no-one seems to really have had a go at it and it looks like Thirteen has no interest in porting it over, but then that's his prerogative.

@tramper - Do you know if his other quest mods can be easily converted as well?

@ Captain Flowers, no, there is this though.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/16922

is there a version for the Special Edition?

This mod is still amazing years later. It gives the sea of ghost the much needed islands it so desperately lacked.

@Cum God

First off: I don't appreciate you stealing my title.

Secondly: Who needs SE when Oldrim has such an incredible plethora of mods?

@ Cum God, far as i know, Sea of Ghosts wasn't ported to Special Edition by Thirteen Oranges, someone else has done it and yes i see all that which is why i have never bothered with it.

@tramper you need literally 3 programs to run this mod on skyrim SE. One of them is skyrim LE, one is the creation kit for skyrim SE, and the other is cathedral assets optimizer.

@harrylechmere, think i had this happen a few moons ago, you could try reloading an earlier save, also check out the last post above.

How to start by Saggy Potato Bags.

none of the ships crew are there including the guy i hire the ship from. any ideas???

Sooner !, the mods been out for years, did you see the release dates ?

It disappeared for awhile for what ever reason, but if you'd manually downloaded it and saved it somewhere then you'll always have a copy....i did.

i wish i knew about this mod sooner, i was always wishing for a mod that expanded upon the ocean in this game

Wish I knew that sooner. Guess it can't be helped

@Mom, try to load an earlier save, you should be saving every time you go to a different place in Sea of Ghosts.

I went to the ice island and now there's no ladders on the Winter's Warmth? Not sure how to escape, can't even fast travel out of here

nvm. you tubed it.

ok. I just ran through every island on the map. for a second time. and am almost positive i have the family heirloom. not loading correctly so i can not complete the side quest.

@gasoline68, i don't know how you play it on SE as it hasn't been ported as a true standalone mod by Thirteen.
I'm reasonably knowledgeable with gaming, but i'm not downloading all those programes to get one mod up and running, no matter how much i miss it.

It's an great Mod and I Play "Sea of Ghosts" on SE without any Problems.
But it would be nice to have an Questgiver. You could call him Sellus Tullius...
And he will tells a story about three who led a mutiny...
Just call the Quest "Ghosts and Keys" ;-)

Hi Ser James, i have, well way to many hours up in Skyrim, but i have played this mod countless times and never had issues like you have experienced, really can't advise too much other than run LOOT and check for conflicting mods or dirty edits, hope you sort it.

@ tramper tried again on a clean installation: no mods affecting Solitude whatsoever. game CTD'd after the load-screen. removing this mod allowed the game to properly load

After completing this mods quests, my Skyrim now keeps crashing every 5 minutes, without any error messages or anything..

If you are reading Thirteen, will you consider porting your great mods to SE ?.

@ Ser James, well gave it a run and worked fine for me, paid Raggnar the 5000, spoke to all his crew, did the short quest to find the boots, travelled to a couple of the islands then back to the Docks.
Maybe you should try and run LOOT and see if there are any dirty edits or conflicts left over from the mods you uninstalled.

@ Ser James, i've been busy with SE but i'll start up Skyrim on my other drive, head to the docks and see how it goes for me, will post back of any issues, might have to do a gold cheat and see if i can get to Smugglers Meet or somewhere.

i feel like this mod might be broken: getting CTDs around the Solitude docks, even after uninstalling every mod I had that added things onto the exterior of Solitude. have the same problem with No Mercy whenever i approach an Akaviri shrine.

So many thanks for getting this back on line - fab mod.

THANK YOU THIRTEENORANGES (assuming you had a hand in it). In case you haven't been told yet, Pit Fighter is doing the same thing.

A great big thanks for the fixing up of this most important mod, if it was you, Thirteen again many thanks.

Thanks orange it's working just fine now

@Rampage, i would say you're getting that message because there is no file to download.

why is mod saying it's corrupt.. I've lost 2 mods now because of this.

Hi Caine, you're right, i was looking at Travels add on, so now its two of these great mods, f*#ked, i still have The Bigger they Are and Sorcery so i might copy those files and keep them, think i might get Realms of Daedra as well and back that up, so if they go, i'll still have them, somethings not right anyway and it seems the author no longer cares.
I see Thirteen was online only five days ago, so i am sure he is aware of these issues.

Tramper, are you looking at Pit Fighter or Pit Fighter Travels? Pit Fighter travels still has a file size, but I'm showing Pit Fighter doesn't. Because of that, Travels may as well be broken since it requires Pit Fighter.

Pit Fighter still has a file size unlike Sea of Ghosts, i know someone on Nexus is trying to port some of these to SE, i don't know if that is affecting the issue, but obviously the author for whatever reason no longer cares about them.

Broken mod

Great, now Pit Fighter is doing the same thing. What is going on?!

Sent him an email. I have no idea if that email address is still active.

I see he's back online, anyone able to tell if they belong to a group he's in to send him a message?

That annoying guide 8 hours ago
Does anyone here still have this mods files in there skyrim data folder? If you do PLEASE upload them somewhere as it will still work as long as we have those files

You won't be able to do that without the authors permission, Thirteen is online, so maybe he can give a heads up as to what maybe causing the issue, Sea of Ghosts along with Forgotten City rate in my books as the best of the quest mods out there SSE included without having to download a gig of mod like some are.
