We'll upload a new release today to resolve the door being locked when it should be unlocked. Once you have the update, you'll want to use a save from before the guards approach you outside the house.

I downloaded the latest version of Better Cities and was able to enter the manor. Thanks guys.

The fight wasn't terribly difficult, though I am level 26 and used a handful of protection spells, including one from Supreme Magicka.

Edit: One niggle though. There's some suspicious meat left in my inventory that I can't get rid of.

The Ruined Tail's Tale - OC patch does not really work with BC for OCR and the BC - IC Waterfront addon. The house near the well overlaps the tents and needs moving or it cannot be entered. RTT does work with the vanilla waterfront, of course, and that's what I'll be using. The patch files are too complicated for me to figure out how to do a merge and what to edit out.

Is the Gold Horse Courier questline fully do-able without the full BC - IC?

@ demni: You can try adding the BC RTT patch too, I just cannot promise things will work well in combination with OCR. The BC RTT patch when used with OCR should most likely be loaded before the OCR ESP, I'd guess. The RTT patch can be safely used with just BC IC (so without the rest of BC), the potential problems only come when used alongside the OCR RTT patch, as the patches may conflict themselves. Since OCR has no need to touch the Waterfront part of RTT, there's a small chance that you might get away with using both together. Try and see.
As long as you have access to the Waterfront Tunnel, yes GHC questline is fully do-able - better not to attempt any local deliveries in the IC however (though it doesn't matter if you do, as some deliveries are to vanilla NPCs, and any package you cannot deliver you can always return, so if it were for a BC NPC not available it wouldn't matter). If it's only the outer districts you're not using from BC, then I think you will have every BC-added NPC needed for delivery in the rest of the districts anyway.

@ Kesidu: You have suspicious meat? You must have played through the quest out of intended order, before I fixed things to allow for that. I'll add some tidy-up somewhere to remove it from the player inventory.
You can use the console to get rid of it. First you'll need to work out the right Form ID to use for BC ESM objects. If you're using Wrye Bash, then look in the Load Order column (should be second column by default) beside "Better Cities Resources.esm" - there should be a two-character number (could include letters). This number should replace the ## in the following console command:
SetQuestObject ##058D8C 0

Would you consider the fight difficulty reasonable for your character? You said it "wasn't terribly difficult" which to me implies it was "reasonably difficult" but that may not be what you meant.

For those of you who did the Case of the Missing Body quest line I would like you to answer a 10 questions survey.

Well, I snuck into Lord Varian's house the night after talking to him about his wife the first time, after having asked his maid to set up an audience with Varian.

Actually, come to think of it, I might have snuck into Varian's house a second time. I might have picked up a second piece of suspicious meat there.

Would you consider the fight difficulty reasonable for your character? You said it "wasn't terribly difficult" which to me implies it was "reasonably difficult" but that may not be what you meant.

What I meant was I didn't feel all that threatened, but I had a rather powerful (level 26) character which might have been the reason for the lessened difficulty.

[Vorians]

So he wasn't really powerful enough for lvl 26, righto.
You cannot get two pieces of meat from the house (without cheating). Sounds like you never got around to doing anything with the meat and now you're stuck with it. Did that console command work?
Assuming you've now finished the quest, Ismelda will love you forever if you answer the survey.

I'm stuck at the beginning of the quest, I talk to the vicar when I hear the rumours, and my journal doesn't update

[Vorians]

@ 666: There's definitely no fault in the mod at that point. Speaking to the priest is practically the first thing you do for the quest, and if there was a fault at this point nobody would have played any further, yet nobody else has had a problem here, so it sounds like an error in your own game. Reload a save from before speaking to him, and try again, the stage updates around half-way through the conversation, so by the time you reach the goodbye you'll be on the next quest stage if your game is running correctly.

[Ismelda]

@666: Did you actually got any information from the vicar or did he shut you down? If the latest then you were not trusty enough to be talked to and maybe you could try to befriend him first.
