If you've done the quest with Sanguine Rose you meet Sanquine as a Daedra off in a cave somewhere. He is really cool, full daedric armor, darth maulish faced and has horns. Is there any way to make a mod where you can make your player character use his model, at least in the face?

I HAD both. I actually gave Azura's away with removeitem console commands to keep it as close to the vest as possible. Already felt like I was cheating having the Black Star and Aranea, not to mention Lisette at home as a wife. I thought about taking Kahliah as a wife/companion! She can't be? You speak as if you've tried it. Shame. She does have a huge forehead! I thought Aranea was pretty hot, then I gave her new robes and a circlet, and when her hood came off.... well.... not as hot, but still a kickass companion.

I actually got her to wear robes without a helm. You got to play around with giving her stuff and taking it back, as it seems sometimes something triggers her to put everything on. I've heard loading a autosave or quicksave can work as well. I messed around and eventually got her in some robes of destruction I wanted her to wear with a circlet. Unfortunately I'm still discovering whether you can get her to wear something hooded AND a circlet

Yup... I'm not sure anyone knew about the resetquest command, but it works. Also, as far as my problem, I found if you reset the quest, then talk to her, tab out before you pick any options that give you the quest, then use setstage XXXX 100, it completes the quest, gives you Azura's star, which you can use a command to remove, and she'll join your party without a 2nd copy of the quest being added to your book. So I fixed myself perfectly. I'm rather pleased. Now if I could just find a way to get her to wear the circlet of destruction I bought for her as well as hooded robes (she looks a lot better with the hood on, yesh)

I finally managed to get her to stay, I think it might have had something to do with upgrading the house to full. She's always there now, she dosen't sing naturally in my home, but you can always request a song and she will sing

Alright, so I did some poking around. I found a new console command. Apparently Resetquest XXXX will reset quests and you can begin them again. It works for me at least. Aranea Ienith gives me the quest again and if I complete it she will join me. Its a good temporary fix, but I'd rather not have it two places in my quest book, so for the meantime I'm still looking for a way to change her attitude towards me without having to reset the quest and redo it. Or perhaps a way to reset the quest in my journal without starting a new one. Or a way to delete the one in my journal then start a new one

So yea, I was doing the quest and then looked up some info about the Star and basically made the decision to make Azura's Star into the Black Star because then it could trap ANY kind of soul, useful right. Apparently no one warned me before hand if you did so you'd lose the chance to take Aranea Lenith as a follower, which is a shame as I hear she is one of the best, and one of very few female mages (and within my own race no less, damn it!). This request is to see if anyone wants to try to help me take up the project of re-scripting her to allow you to recruit her even after making the wrong decision in her quest line. So far I've tried setting her relationshiprank with the player, even at Lover she won't say anything other than "I'll kill you for defiling Azura's Star," or whatever. I even tried using the placeatme command to make a new version of her, hoping whatever flag was set would be erased. Does anyone have any other ideas. I'm thinking of trying to maybe reset the entire quests through console commands, or perhaps take it back to a point before the decision? I wonder if its a matter of which version of the star you have in your inventory. Perhaps if I removed the Black Star and then recruited her? Or added the white version into my inventory. Hmmmm

Actually lied. After completing the quest and standing in my house with her and using wait to skip time forward she seemed to want to stay up. Satisfied I left and began to go exploring and doing quests. I returned home to use my chest and.... big surprise, she was gone. I used the commands to warp to her and she was near rorikstead, I assume on her way back to solitude. I seriously don't know what is wrong with her. Perhaps she never stays at home for good and you just don't know because you use her as a companion. It must be something other than her PKID packages because I definitely deleted all those. Maybe something in her "home" being set to that bed in the skeever no matter if you force her with marriage or not or being in factions that relate her to the town of solitude

Somewhere along the line I got it working, thanks so much for your help. I think it was a matter of completing the go to their home quest. I told her we should live with her, then went back to the skeever and it completed it. After that I told her to go back to my house and now she just mills about like normal. Wondering if I should remake the .esp without removing all the PKIDs but I'll play for a bit and see if it affects anything. I doubt it will. Again thanks so much for your help!

Also... tried deleting all the PKID scripts in her scripting but she STILL wants to walk to Solitude. I tried resurrect her to reset her scripts and its not working either. I'm totally stumped. At least we've made progress on getting my mods to actually work and changing her clothes. Still stuck on the wanting to leave the house and her name being weird symbols... any idea on either of those?

Alright, forget it, found the new outfit. But I do have the problem with her name. How did you fix that?

So I followed your tutorial and did it myself, and I now know mods work. She did show up with the new outfit, however deleting those two ai scripts didn't change her behavior. I'm considering deleting or all 4 or trying different combinations. Also do you know the form ID for the barmaid outfit Katrina wears rather than the fine clothes outfit you gave her?

Hey Jackall, I just tried downloading the nexus mod manager to try to see if maybe I had installed it wrong.... somehow. Anyway, when it loads it says "plugin seems corrupted." I'm wondering if thats why perhaps it isn't working for me? Any change of emailing me the file as maybe somehow uploading it to the site made it broken. I'm really desperate for ideas as to why my game behaves so differently than anyone elses.

Yea.... crazy. No idea whats broken with my game. Thanks for the help though. I'll keep trying stuff on my own to figure out whats wrong... dammit

Resurrect didn't change anything. She just flashed in and out of exsistance on her way to running out the door of my house
