How Do I Start the Thieves Guild?

Skyrim Unification Project utilizes Thieves Guild Requirements to adjust the progression and requirements for joining the Thieves Guild.

Unlike in the Vanilla game, Brynjolf will no longer approach or speak to the Player on their first visit to Riften, unless they meet some specific requirements. Some of the Thieves Guild also have additional skill and progression requirements in an effort to slow the questline down to a more reasonable pace and encourage the player to engage more with the jobs.

Below is the list of quests that are affected by Skyrim Unification Project’s changes to the Thieves Guild:

1. A Chance Arrangement: Requires the player to have an apprentice level Sneak skill (25 or higher), have picked at least 10 pockets, and stolen at least 100 items.

   These stats can be checked in the General Stats > Crime tab of the Journal.

2. Loud and Clear: Requires the player to have completed a minimum of 4 radiant jobs for the Thieves Guild.
3. Dampened Spirits: Requires the player to have completed a minimum of 6 radiant jobs for the Thieves Guild.
