No. Update 1.7.99 (20 August 2026, hotfixed 27 August) is about the Creations platform: 15 GB of mod storage on PS5 and Xbox, load-order fixes and Creation Kit changes. Nothing in the game's collectibles, quests or totals moved. The one thing to know is for modded PC setups: the new executable breaks SKSE and version-locked plugins until they are updated, and a modded save may not load on it. Back up your saves before Steam updates the game, or hold the version until your mods catch up.

Added on 14 September 2026 from Bethesda's patch notes on Steam and Wccftech's and OnMSFT's reports on the modding fallout.

2. About This Guide

30 pages in total: 10 walkthrough chapters, 19 reference and collectible pages. Everything starts from the guide hub.

Yes. 7 separate checklists cover 98 entries between them — Dragon Shouts, Standing Stones, Daedric Artifacts, Dragon Priest Masks, Skills Mastered, Unique Weapons, Black Books — and each one shows its own progress bar.

3. Progress & Game Memory

No. Everything you tick is stored in your browser straight away, with no account and no sign-up. Creating a free account adds one thing: your progress follows you to another device or browser.

Game Memory gathers every checklist you have touched, across every guide on the site, into a single page with a bar per game. It is under your profile once you are logged in.

Without an account, yes — the checkmarks live in that browser only. With an account they are stored server-side and come back when you log in again.

4. Using GuideVault

Yes, all of it. Every page, checklist and tool is free to use, with no paywall and no locked chapters. Patreon supporters get cosmetic extras and a few convenience features, never content.

Yes. The spoiler toggle in the bottom-left corner hides marked passages across the whole site, so you can use the collectible pages without reading past where you are.

Yes — the controller button in the bottom-right corner switches the visual effects off, and the choice is remembered. The site also respects your system's reduced-motion setting automatically.
