Lorerim requires the full paid to Skyrim Anniversay Edition update (AE for short) which includes content from Creation Club. These quests could be described as“here, its all in this note”. There is almost a whole category of mods that overhaul Creation Club content and LoreRim utilises some of these to provide a more fun, engaging and immersive experience.
Before discussing what's been overhauled, first lets highlighted what has been removed.
Alternate Armors Quests: The alternate armors from Creation Club are now part of the many armors found across Skyrim and other lands. Because of this, the quests that were added to obtain these armors have been disabled. You will now find these distributed to selected NPCs.
Umbra: This sword is added in another quest mod.
The Arms of Chaos: The staff was shattered into pieces by the Eternal Champion at the end of Arena. Due to this, The Arms of Chaos creation was removed.
Sunder and Wraithguard: Another mod adds these items from lore back in a new quest “The Tools of Kagrenac”. Read more about it our New Quests guide
“Return to the Shivering Isles in a fully-voiced overhaul of Skyrim’s Saints and Seducers Creation”. This is an overhaul and expansion of the Saints & Seducers official Creation. A handful of elements from the original quest have been preserved and expanded into a new, fully-voiced quest. The mod will take players back to the Shivering Isles, first seen in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, for a polished, high-quality adventure through a new region of the Realm of Madness.
This quest mod also affects the following Creation Club content: Shadowrend, Ruin’s Edge, and the Staff of Sheogorath seamlessly integrating them into the new worldspace added.
To begin the mod questline, you must be at least level 20 and have completed The Mind of Madness quest (Sheogorath's quest).
Several CC quests have been drastically overhauled for better balance, immersion and fun
Morihaus’ Refuge: Changes the Lord’s Mail’s integration by removing the existing quest and instead adding an entirely new dungeon and equipping its boss with the Lord’s Mail for a challenging fight to acquire it.
Knight of the North: Overhauls the Divine Crusader quest with a completely reworked quest to obtain the Relics. This quest will have you travel far across Skyrim with an interesting backstory narrative to explain how the relics ended up in Skyrim. Additionally the mod overhauls the Infamy system to be less harsh and more transparent and implemented a new system called Honor. To start this quest, next to every relic in the world is a journal or note that will begin the quest. However the mod author recommends to start near the Tower Stone in Winterhold.

The Cause Tweaks - Alternate Start and Close the Gate: A small change to The Cause creation but with 16 time the immersion. As the modname suggests, this changes how the quest starts and allows the player to close the Oblivion gate added by the mod. Instead of receiving a letter from a courier, begin this quest by finding a note on a body in the destroyed Hall of the Vigilant (the dead Vigilant on the table in the back). As in Oblivion, the gate opened in this quest can now be closed. To conform with the existing layout, there are two sigil stones within the Deadlands area being guarded by the dremora there. Both must be removed to close the gate, after which you’ll be returned to Tamriel (permanently– please make sure to pick up anything you want from this area beforehand).
Simple Fishing Overhaul: Fish in third person! Fish in first person! Fish in... second person? Fish in Fish Person! OH, and new lines for the fishing quests and other fishing enhancements!
The Gift of Saturalia: A Quest for the Holidays is another mod by JaySerpa that while not requiring the Creation Club content, was built around the Saturalia Holiday Pack. A fully voiced new quest. Help the people of Skyrim and spread the spirit of Saturalia. You can begin this quest by finding a bearded old trader camping outside of Dawnstar, south of the main entrance.
Bow of Shadows & Civil War Champions - Reduced Cut: Disables the ridiculous CC Bow of Shadows quest and places the Bow as static loot as part of the Raven Rock/Morag Tong questline. Removes the dumb "Battle of Champions" quest. Receive either champion set just before the final siege on Windhelm or Solitude instead.
Voiced Narrative: “Here, its all in this note” - Every CC NPC. Fortunetly a series by GTheGenerous called Voiced Narratives which as you might have guessed, voices the NPCs. These include Bloodchill Manor, Redguard Elite Armaments, The Gray Cowl Returns, Ghosts of the Tribunal & Fishing
