Features
Overview
After organically doing all main, DLC and factions questlines and permanently losing them because MO2 doesn't send stuff to the recycle bin, I made this all over again (and again with USSEP) but mixing console commands and manual interaction together to prevent bugs and get essential progression.This resulted in a "cleaner" save, where most things in the game are left untouched. You can even encounter some NPCs that you should kill for the Dark Brotherhood, have a chat or kill them anyways.
1. Main Quest
2. Dragonborn DLC
3. College of Winterhold
4. The Companions
5. Thieves Guild Master
6. Dark Brotherhood
Completion order after Dragonborn selected based on this Reddit poll. "No Dawnguard / Civil War?" No. You can choose whichever side you prefer.

Report bugs
Please report any bugs you find in the Clean Saves and is directly related to the files or completed quests. For example: I don't get the dialogue option to travel by ship to Solstheim, I can only fast travel (this was a bug I fixed in Vanilla - Clean Saves). If you solved a bug, please share how did you do it and I'll try to update every Clean Save to have it fixed.
- These saves were created in SKYRIM Anniversary Edition with all CC enabled.
- Starting gear is in the chest to your left.
- Uncommon or unique items are in the chest to your right.
- Random loot and other items are in the big sack.
- Unremovable quest items are placed in the shelf in front of you.
Features
- Ysmir, Level 1 Nord (customize with "showracemenu" command.)
- Named, ordered files.
- No unnecessary side quests started.
- Didn't learn spells or shouts that weren't essential for progress or you can learn later.
- Explored, talked, killed and looted as least as possible (except unique or uncommon items).
- Uncommon, named or unique NPCs (like the Skeletal Dragon) were ignored if possible.
- Haven't catch any game-breaking bug that I'm aware of.
- If you're very high level (or just a collector) you can find a duplicate at max level of every leveled item I obtained in the following location:
Spoiler:
USSEP: Riverwood Trader, second floor (chest in front of the left bed).
LOTD: Just up the stairs from where you start (chest in front of the bed).
Vanilla: Nowhere
I recommend only picking them up if your level meets the requirement and then getting rid of the low level ones :)

Encounter Zones Unlocked SE
- There's a "feature" in Skyrim that locks the level of a dungeon the first time you enter.
- If I visited a dungeon and you do it later on a higher level, everything will still be level 1. This fixes it.
- This is a SKSE only plugin so no .esp required. Keeps your save file cleaner and safer.
