How do I install this mod?
To install a mod from the Steam workshop just click on the 'Subscribe' button. The mod will automatically download and install. When the mod is installed you may have to activate it under Data files. Done.


Why can't I see the mod in game? Why can't I install the mod?
If the launcher wont download the mod the problem is most probably a general problem you have, especially if you have the same problem with other mods too. Here is a short list what you could try to resolve this issue:
  1. Be patient. The mod is quit big. So it may take some minutes to download.
  2. Check if Castle Gonduin is selected under 'Data files'.
  3. Make sure your firewall is not blocking the download.
  4. Try a different load order. You can use tools like BOSS to change the load order.
  5. Try to desubscribe and subscribe this mod again.
  6. Try restarting your PC.
  7. Ask google. Maybe others had this problem too and found a solution.
Alternatively you can download the mod from Nexus[www.nexusmods.com] and install it manually (instructions in readme).


Grass and small stones are floating in the air.
This is known as the Floating Grass Bug and it is quite easy to fix. You will have to edit a few lines in the Skyrim.ini and the SkyrimPrefs.ini. Here is a link to an instruction. [www.creationkit.com] The SkyrimPrefs.ini is located in your skyrim installation folder, the Skyrim.ini at ...\Documents\my games\skyrim.


I completed the quest but the manager does not have the dialog options for rebuilding the castle.
This happens sometimes. In that case you have to force the manager to reload. You can archive this by fast traveling to another location and back, reloading your save or restarting your game. Furthermore you could try the "pcb" command to clear the cell buffer.


Some of the guards don't change their armor correctly. What can I do?
Sometimes actors don't update as intended. In that case you have to force them to reload. You can archive this by creating a new quicksave (f5) and reloading (f9)this save. Or just play on and ignore it. A few hours later the guards should wear their correct armor.


Why can't I take back weapons stored at weapon racks after completing the quest?
It seems like the trigger of these weapon racks does not like being enabled/disabled. In fact you can take back your items, but because the trigger is above them you can't point at them. To get them back you will have to move them out of the trigger with the console. The commands needed are:
- getPos <axis>
- setPost <axis> <#>
To use this commands select the item you want to move. If you want to move it upwards use "z" for axis. If you want to move it sideways use "x" or "y". For the new position, just take the original position returned by getPos and add 100.

I'd just like to ask a few things/note them
1. If i talk to Horst, who is, as i assume the blacksmith, i do not get the option to change the guards armour. If i put custom armour in the chest, it works fine.
2. In the smithing area, some gravel is floating on the ceiling
3. In the castle and esp. the Lords Rooms, certain pictures on the walls do not display what they are supposed to display, but rather just colour pixels
4, At times the shading seems odd to me - keep in mind my laptop is not very good -

I'd just like to know if those are loading errors on my side, if they are not, see it as constructive feedback for your great mod :)
Sorry for annoying you in the normal comments.

No problem ;-)
1. Yes, Horst is the smith. Did you try talking to him repeatedly? Maybe wait one or two ingame hours and try again.
2. I heard about that floating gravel thing. Problem is that I can't reproduce the issue. But if you don't already have you could try this: http://www.creationkit.com/Floating_Grass_Fix
3. The issue appears when you have set texture quality to medium or low.
4. The shadows in Skyrim are far from perfect. Could be a problem caused by your settings too...

Thank you for your support, i guess the shadows are my settings too. I'll tell you if Horst will keep not working, or if the issue resolves itself.

Right I have a few bugs if I can remember all of them. The most obvious is that after switching my guards armor to whiterun armor, the females are nude (maybe this supposed to happen lol?). I tried switching armor multiple times to every kind available but they refuse to clothe themselves. Another problem is the shadow striping that occurs on NPCs in almost all interior areas of the mod. There were other but they escape me atm. Awesome mod though man thank you so much

It's worth mentioning that this shadow striping is exclusive to the interior areas of YOUR mod only. Everywhere else is fine.

Nope, this should not happen. I can reproduce the problem and will see if I can fix it.

That could be some setting related thing. But the shadows aren't the nicest ones, that's true. I will see if I can somehow fix this.

The castle gate is down, and as a result, it is inaccesable. :/

None of my mods are working at present and I was thinking of - temporarily - uninstalling them. However, contained within the castle I have a considerable amount of armour, weapons, items, etc. If I uninstall, do they get deleted as well?

@Abraswag Lincoln. If the portcullis is down then you can just fast travel inside and raise it.
