No Thieves Guild Grind - Lowers the Thieves Guild radiant grind quests requirements for their rewards.
Thieves Guild Alternate Routes - Taking Care of Business - Less evil paths for some TG quests; even if you don't care about the "good guys" option, you could still enjoy the ability to focus radiant quests in a city. The custom patch takes care of the potential load order bug that many have reported, the mod itself is good.
**REQUIRED BY CUSTOM PATCH**
NB - Taking Care of Business is sometimes referred as "buggy" because "the radiants don't work". The mod itself is fine, what happens is that it adds a custom keyword to Locations, which can be overwritten by other mods thus causing the radiants not to start. If you follow my LO you should be fine. If you use another combo, check in ssedit what other mods make edits to the main cities under Locations, and either load it afterwards or make a patch (if other mods make their own edits you definitely need a patch, but many like NFF just make a call back to the vanilla record).
No to Nocturnal - If you want to complete the TG quest without selling your soul
