How to unlock quests.
This mod watches your progess in the Skyrim Main Plot, Civil War quest line and Dark Brotherhood quest line and unlocks missions depending on your progress. Simply walking through Helgens Market place to force the mod to check if new quests are available in the early part of the mod. Always seek out the commanders assistant in the Commanders town if you get stuck.
The later Imperial quests require all those quests be completed before allowing you to proceed.
The mod will adapt if you change sides during the Civil War, player choice is fully supported.
Optional Requirements:
If Maty743’s Knights of the Nine V2.6 Mod becomes available for Skyrim SE, run it after Return to Helgen to see the Knights of the Nine armour appear in this mod too. Return to Helgen includes support for this mod as standard. Any conflicts tools register between Helgen and Mats Knights of the Nine mod are intentional. So don't fix them!
Is there a previous version of this that works with Skyrim with all DLC? I tried the special edition and was underwhelmed when comparing it to my heavily modded version. I'd absolutely love it if this had a SMIM compatibility plugin too.
Yes mate, its the other file linked to this mod page. There are 2, the SE and none SE versions. Have fun.

How do I unlock more missions?
I got this to work on SE. However I used the old Return to Helgen from Oldrim and I extracted the BSA, made a new 7z file and plugged this through the nexus mod manager. Worked like a charm. If you are crashing on any of these mods trying to get into Solitude for example. You might want to look up how to extract with the Bethesda Archive Extractor. I know it should work ect.... But it didn't for me from the Bethesda net site. I crashed at Solitude all the time. Now I do not, but I had to extract it myself. If more people have problems from the Bethesda net site, I might suggest a new file for them to download. However criticism is constructive, not punitive. Thank you so much for the mod, it is great. I would rate up 100% if I made an account. I really do love the mod.

ive finished all questines and am unable to proceed emperor quest line help please
The Skyrim SE version of this mod has been updated to address a crash when entering certain buildings that some (not all) users where experiencing. No version change because the mod has not actually been changed, just resaved in the editor. I know... weird but it works.

Did you delete this mod from Skyrim Special Edition for Xbox one I search it on the console then go to Bethesda.net search it and it says 0 results
Hi NanoByteGhost I would have send you a message but since i can’t do that i’m posting on the forum in the hope that you might answer. First off a great thanks for some bad *** mods you have made offering some very immersive enjoyable additional experiences in Skyrim, at least that is my personal opinion. I’m fairly new to the modding community and i am very sorry to hear about all the problems you have been experiencing with the websites that use to host your mods, i haven’t understood everything that has happened but i am no stranger to getting quality work stolen form you and i understand your problem intimately. I’m sorry for you but quite frankly i am also very sorry for myself, as there is currently no mod that interests me more than TEG Return to Helgen. I am fully aware you said you would not help anyone any further but since i have nothing to loose and i am dying to play your mod and i also noticed you said you would help people that would help you so here i am ^^ So here i am ^^ trying to convince you in any was i can to help me and others if you so wish in making your mod work.
I am currently playing the Skyrim SE edition of your mod and as i am sure you have heard, the game crashes systematically when upon entering solitude. I downloaded your mod with alternate star tat first but quickly realised that i was conflicting. So i started a new game specifically so i could try out your TEG Return to Helgen Mod. I therefor purposfolly omited to download: Open Cities AND Alternate start and i obviously have taken care not to download any mods that might modify helgen in any way. But my game still crashes. At first i used the file available on Bethesda but since it did not work i then used the file from Mod DB siote and added it via Nexus mod Manager. I also saw you said the USSEP might conflich so i disabled that too as well as removing loot but still no great sucess. To be perfectly honest i am out of ideas and am very frustrated at the thought of abandoning the whole thing altogether, because of the time i have invested but mainly because i really love the TEG Return to Helgen mod, and no one seems to have done anything that complete. Becoming the High King of Skyrim is intresting enough but certainly does not beat rebuilding anf governing Helgen to then become a DragonBorn Emperor !! Please NanoByteGhost Any tips or ideas? And don’t loose faith in modding because of cun…. That have nothing to do other than **** people off. I promise you your work has been greatly appreciated even if you do not wish to work on skyrim mods any further so in any event thank-you !

LE .bsa files will cause Skyrim SE to crash to desktop as the LE.bsa is different then the SE.bsa. Bethesda uses a different bsa formatting in the special edition. Any mod from Skyrim LE that contains an archive bsa must have the archive extracted and repacked in the newer SE archive bsa format.
Hello everyone after many hours of modifications and research i finally made it work, for all those who are having identical problems with the "Return to Helgen" mod and are having game crashes when entering solitude or helgen, feel free to contact me on my e-mail adress displayed on my ModDB account since the author stated he would not help anyone anymore. Where there is a will there is a way !

Hi !
If there is anyone around, I have just started a game (23h) of Skyrim, but I am looking for mods improving the civil war. I installed this mod, but my skyrim crashes after 2 sec. I guess that it s necessary to start a new game ? If someone can confirm me, thanks
is there a return to helgen for skyrim SE ?
The mod freezes or crashes simply because it is broken.
It's written in the title.
Broken by SE, avoid.
The author to stop taking care of it because of the majs of Bugthesda who broke everything.
Hey guys just wondering how I can download this mod I know it's old but been wanting this exact mod for so long and I've mainly used nexus ahah
my game crashes when entering on solitude, how do i fix this?
same here, tried to talk to author at engineering guild on facebook and got ignored.
if the author wont fix it for sse/sae then they should release all the code and whatever for other people to work on, at the time of typing this it seems the author hasnt done that,
It is pretty easy to decompile papyrus scripts to understand how the mod works under the hood. And the other files are open anyways and can be worked with in the CK, xEdit, etc.. The only concern about releasing an update to this would be the permissions by the author(s).
But you can always create updates to this mod and release it as a new mod with the original one as hard requirement. For example it could be named "Return To Helgen - Unofficial patch".
But also notice that CTDs and other bugs are often related to individual user's mod setups ith potential conflicts, etc. Many users don't even know the very basics on how to use Skyrim mods properly. But since this version seems to be a direct port from Oldrim, there might be some issues due to false porting practice and other things to consider. Too many possibilities to name here. However, maybe I'll take a closer look at it and if I feel like I want to do it, I might get my hands on it.
