Any mod that fixes the civil war questline?
I have the unofficial patch but that does basically nothing with the civil war so is there any other mod that fixes it or at least lets me report to Rikke?

Many mods have tried, none have succeeded.

The whole quest is unfixable lol

Yea, it's kind of unfixable. I've tried to find such mods too and failed.

Disappointing to hear

What do you mean by "fix"?

If it's about all the stuff Bethsoft cut from the game, this is the best attempt at restoring it:

Or, if it's about fixing the bugs in vanilla, well, the Unofficial patch does a very good job, but is certainly not omnipotent.

Unfortunately, whatever is wrong with the CW questline seems to be so ingrained in the bones of the game that neither Bethesda or modders have been able to properly fix it.

Regardless if you use the Unofficial Patch or any other CW bug fixes mod things like how you can’t report in after fast traveling still have too high of a chance of occurring.

The only “fix” for that is to make sure you hard save either before a fort takeover/Battle of Whiterun/etc and/or right afterwards, and then either manually travel all the way to report in or don’t fast travel until you’re a good distance away from the battle site…and then if it still happens, reload your save and try again.

You COULD also use console commands to report in, but that carries the risk of further messing up the questline (I did it once and it worked and was fine, another time I did it it completed the report in part but then I couldn’t actually progress to the next stage/quest).

Exactly with Civil War's bugs USSEP has very small amount of fixes. Basically it fixes almost nothing about it. And at the same time Civil War quest line IS the most bugged in the entire game.

All mods I managed to find about it have very limited fixes about some certain aspects. And it's hard to use them together coz for obvious reasons they are mostly not compatible with each other.

We need one comprehensive bug fixing mod for Civil War as a whole thing. But it's one of the examples where modders gave up with this problem.

The best way is actually to never start this quest line. Luckily it's easier to invent your character's story such way so he would be interested to never help both sides of the war. For example Argonians often have all the reasons to never have any sympathy for any of the sides in this war.

Yeah that would be a good idea but right now I'm playing with Legacy of the Dragonborn and I need to be thane of Windhelm to get a unique weapon for the collection.

That is really bothersome to hear but I do have a save before starting the questline so even though I have to get rid of a bit of progress I guess I have no choice
