DESCRIPTION:
Be anyone you want to be. Choose from 21 different loadouts then get randomly thrown somewhere in the vast land of Skyrim. Will you end up in the royal court of Solitude’s magnificent Blue Palace or will you end up at the bottom of a dark, dank, necromancer-infested mine shaft and have to fight your way up to the surface? With 463 starting locations (and more being added) you will never enter Skyrim the same way twice! What will your story be?
Random Alternate Start is even better when used with the Character Creation Overhaul mod.
DETAILED FEATURES:
Choose from 21 class starting kits each with it’s own semi-random loadout
Start in one of 463+ locations in Skyrim
The Main Quest thread can be picked up by investigating rumors of dragons near Helgen
Very light footprint ensures clean integration with the main quest and maximum compatibility with other mods
Best used alongside Character Creation Overhaul
COMPATIBILITY:
Random Alternate Start is compatible with virtually all other mods, except for other alternate start/quickstart mods. Mods that alter the game’s time scale may cause the “double menu bug”. To prevent this, simply disable any time scale mods when starting a new game then re-enable them after your character has spawned into the world.
INSTALLATION:
Download using Nexus Mod Manager or download manually and copy all files in the ‘Data’ folder to Skyrim’s ‘Data’ folder then enable the ‘Random Alternate Start.esp’ file. Load order does not matter.
UNINSTALLATION:
To uninstall this mod, simply disable the ‘Random Alternate Start.esp’ file and delete all the related files from Skyrim’s ‘Data’ folder.
KNOWN ISSUES:
If you run into Hadvar or Ralof they may bring up references to the dragon attack at Helgen as if you had been there. This will be corrected in the next release.
If you experience crashing, hanged loading screens, continuous loading, or broken dialog for the Whiterun Gate Guard or Jarl Balgruuf you need to move the “Random Alternate Start.esp” to the bottom of your load order and/or disable the ‘RAS – Riverwood CharGen.esp’
Memory intensive hair mods can cause crashes at character generation
Mods that alter the game’s time scale may cause the “double menu bug”. To prevent this, disable any time scale mods when starting a new game then re-enable them after your character has spawned into the world (Thanks akayo)

“Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—-of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.” – 1 Timothy 1:15-16
