One more comment: on a recent playthrough I visited then went off on a different quest, did not go look for the librarian. By the time I did, MUCH later, he was not to be found, and I looked for Skyrim miles all the way out to the Sea of Ghosts... so don't delay too long unless you are on console and can use the code for the key.

Really nice. Working in Oldrim in 2023. Thanks, upvoted.

I play this mod once, it was very well done and easy, but for the placement of where the door is and conflicking with other mods where its located only :)

had hopes for this but anything below 750ti GTX 16 gb ram frame rates drop to hell but cool looking mod :)

@ NightShadeX62 Jokerine made a cool library just outside Solitude. Here's the link: The Seaside Library

could you put one of these libraries in Solitude or one of the Imperial towns?

@ gsladier I'm glad you like the mods! Thank you for your kind words.

@ jantz_j Windhelm is a dark and cold place but one of the more interesting in Skyrim I think. I'm happy that you like the mod and you're welcome.

@ bommetjes_j It is a very good and strong name!

My real name is HARALD Lol

Really well made mod. It's adds a much needed location for the hero to hang out while in town. Really well done and thank you for sharing.

@Ticklefeather, i love your mods! they are fabulous, I have added dark shade manor, and this one to my game. Everything work perfectly (for now). Thank you so much for all your hard work.

@ GamerLord25 I took the name from King Harald of the Skyrim lore but perhaps the game developers took inspiration from the Norwegian king.

it's the mod after the norwegian king? King Harald V

Thanks Aries72. I'm glad it is working for you now.

working ok now just went back to later save but i think could be an conflict but what i did was. go threw the secrect pass without a key you can get to it an pass threw gate without key mite have been the deal with that before i got the key. not sure my quess also i have an old bookshelve mite have been that working its problems out ill let you know if see any thing else come up. :)

@ Aries72 Please do update me. I've not seen that problem on this mod before. Could be a conflict.

my deal is my npc are disapairing on me not sure why the key an bag in river was easy. but ya wired deal the alchmist disaparied then that the bard. keep updated see if they come back tho

@ CeruleanBlue72 I'm sorry to hear that you can't find the librarian! Maybe I should have dressed him in something other than blue robes. ;)

You can always use the console to open the locked items. "~" click the locked thing "unlock"

Well, I found the sack in the river, but the body is nowhere to be found. I checked under ice and searched the river bed for quite a ways north (following the flow of the river). And the gregor's key tag doesn't show anything for me in the console. I'm out of ideas. :(

@ Burt Reynolds I like your suggestions but unfortunately those frames are part of the wall section. There is not a wall section that fits that set without the frames. :(

And ah stairs, using only the base game assets limits me on stairs. The stairs from Winterhold have walls attached, otherwise I would use them. They do look great. I tried the basic wooden stairs from the Windhelm set but to make them fit, I needed to scale them down and then they looked weird. So I settled with what you see, a ladder with added supports.

i have a small request i think i would make it look more aesthetic

That's fine. I could do that. I didn't know if you wanted to add any more features in updates, but here's another idea... npcs who spawn and enter the library to read books. I don't know if that's possible for npcs to read books but there is mod with player reading animation.

@ hunkydork Thanks!

@ IamNick2000 I like where you are going with your comment.
For my own role playing with this mod, I had just joined the Stormcloaks and was full of Nord pride but appalled at the state of our beloved city Windhelm. A murderer killing people and leaving bodies on the street, beggar children, ruffians pushing people about right infront of the city guard, AND a library robbed! Terrible. I made it my job to put as many of these things straight as I could. I also took care of a group of pirates who may or may not have been involved in the library break in. :D

You can always leave one of your followers in the library to guard it (depending on the other mods you use).

I don't know if it makes sense for the player to take back up work on filling the library if it's not well guarded. Looks like a good mod though. I figure you don't rent out the books so it is basically a nonprofit library. That's cool. That could be why the guards and Ulfric don't care about it too. Maybe if you could find help to guard the library or make a deal with a bureaucrat explaining why the library is a vital service to the city.

Beautiful, one of the GREAT mods

@ Burt Reynolds The main room has an awful lot of stuff. Even my framerate drops a bit in that room. It is seperated from the other rooms with a room bound and portals but it is still a large room with many, many items. As for the lighting, that is a very individual thing. Try changing your settings. Also, are you using any lighting mods? They certainly have an effect. The screenshots above are taken without any lighting mods.

@ Superadventureguy Yay! Hope you like it.

@Ticklefeather The Library's door finally exists
Thank you.

sorry for doubleposting, its also a little too dark in there

it has a little framedrop, is it fully optimized?

@ Rune Red Thank you! I obsessively collect books when I play Skyrim and was running out of places to put them. So I made a library. I'm glad you like it!

First impression. As soon as I walk in the door, I think 'Library'. I've explored the place, and I'm quite pleased. It just feels like a first rate library. Well Done!

@Ticklefeather.
Thanks anyway.

@ Superadventureguy Hmm I'm not sure what else I can do to help.

It is working for many others so the problem must be on your end. It may be a conflict with another mod or any number of other issues.

There are several sites out there that offer guides to using mods. Try their trouble shooting methods. It may be something simple that you are overlooking.

@Ticklefeather Still not working :(

Hmm check your Data Files and make sure it is there. If it is, then try unsubscribing, deleting the data file, and resubscribe and download again. Sometimes errors occur. I hope we can get it working for you.

@Ticklefeather.
I downloaded it.
It still doesn't exist in my game

@ Superadventureguy Make sure you allow it to download into your game. You'll see the progress in the bottom right hand corner of the lauch window.

I can't find the library.
I'm was exactly in right place but there wasn't any door!

@ justinlay95 There are two sacks. The bloody one in the library that has a note inside and one near the body (or I should say the body starts near the sack but floats away). The second sack only has stolen books. So you don't NEED to find it.

ok i found the body but not the sack. any ideas?

look for it floating around (You can see the splashes on the surface

yea, i found the sack, but i couldnt find the body anywhere.

@ Jo_Mamma Did you find the sack at the place mentioned in the spoiler above? The body should be in the area. You may need to look around. This is really all for story/role playing. There is no crazy reward.

I can't find the body & the console command isn't working :/

@ Rune Red Thank you!

gratz again. found out about this on the skyrim blog ; )

@ NutshellGulag Thank you!

@ Edelward Here is a link about the lore: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Harald

@ LordXenophon Yup, exactly right.

King Harald, first High King of Skyrim, obviously.

What Harold you refer to Anglo-Saxon Godwison
or Norwegian Harald Ruthless?

Really nice mod. It's lovely and well-laid out. I like that a lot of the clutter is static; it helps keep me from knocking everything willy-nilly when I'm walking through the place. The fact that it's a library really appeals to my inner book hoarder. Keep up the great work.
