There's a known bug with that quest (see http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Infiltration), but supposedly fixed with the unofficial patch. You could try SetObjectiveCompleted <QuestID> <stage> <1 to set, 0 to unset>, or SetStage <quest id> <stage value>. The UESP has the quest code and stages. Failing that, there is a mod that removes quest from your journal, called Quest Eraser: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/26660/? If it's not a glitch, you may still need to wait until Stalleo comes into the fort after you pull the lever. Once the fighting has finished you can talk to him to complete the quest.

I've had the same problem. I fixed the afflicted refugees for myself by changing the required level in the story nodes or something like that (or just complete the quest). I don't know how to fix the other ones. M'aiq often hangs around in one place for quite a while, and Balbus seems to stay where he spawns. You could increase the chances of encounters by getting the more encounters mod. That might help if you're looking for something in particular.

I'm bumbling my way through copying the necessary details in the housepurchase quest to add my own custom house to the quest (and making use of various tutorials to get past the bits I get stuck on). However I cannot edit the response text for a topic in dialogue views or player dialogue. This means that I can't see what the original details are on the other responses in order to (hopefully) choose an existing sound file and match it to an NPC in the village who will sell the custom house. Nor can I edit my own created responses for the new custom house once they are initially created. I have tried restarting CK, and tried verifying the CK in Steam, but it still won't work. The tutorials say to double-click the response text in the Topic Info window, but nothing happens, not even loading, and there are no right-click options either. What do I do to make it work?

Looking carefully at specific instances of bandits that I can and cannot pickpocket, I found that (at least in 3 instances) the ones I cannot pickpocket are levelled characters. "Use Inventory" is ticked (weirdly that makes it inaccessible) and there is nothing in there, however the specific NPCs in the levelled list do have inventory items, and death items. So, when they are killed they drop the items from the specific level of the NPC (both inventory and death item), but these items are not available through pickpocket. 3 is not very many in the scheme of things though, so I'll keep making a note of specific NPCs I can't pickpocket and ones I can and see if this theory holds.

One of the SMQNs is 'Player Remove Item'. Do any/all of these refer to the time delay after a failed pickpocket? I was hoping to remove the time delay to see if it would fix the problem of certain NPCs not being pickpocketable (x has already caught you bug). My other idea is to go through the NPC types. There seem to be specific NPCs that repeatedly give me this message, even in a brand new game (I even removed old saves to avoid possible memory leaks). I think perhaps it could be related to them not being assigned to factions, or some other box just not ticked in the main window. There are various discrepancies just looking at all the different types of bandits. The main thing that is consistent is that they are all outdoor NPCs (however, not all outdoor NPCs give me this bug, just some specific ones). Any help looking further into this, or other ways to go around it would be appreciated.

I found another condition hidden away in the SQMNs. Changing that has successfully iradicated those pesky Afflicted. Now to keep helping myself to the pockets of the thieves, assassins and skooma dealers :D

I looked further into how to add SQMNs and found them a little more expansive than they originally appeared. Digging deeper into the braches I found where the conditions were and changed them. Problem solved, though I was actually able to complete the quest without killing anyone or anything.

I think I found the answer. I believe it may because they are considered part of a quest as they are part of BYOH, and since the decorations purchased for other player homes are via dialogue, would also be considered quest items, and quest items are persistent.

I am trying to replace all of the mounted animal heads in player homes with paintings from a modders resource. I wanted the ones in the HF homes to still be craftable, so I found the individual instances, and replaced them. I adjusted them carefully in the render window until they sat how I wanted them to. However, when I go into the game, they are not sitting correctly on the walls. They are sitting too far under the plaster, or off-centre, or plain not visible. Why is it doing this? I have a clean save so that I can craft each one to make sure that they go up properly and are not effected by the saved game. I have opened the mod in CK again, and they still look fine in the CK.

How can I get rid of the afflicted refugees safely so that they are not diluting my pool of wilderness encounters? I have tried setting the global for the quest level to much higher, but they still appear at level 10. It is already unticked for 'start game enabled', and 'run once' doesn't seem to slow them down either. I don't plan on doing the Peryite quest, (nor do I want it cluttering up my quest log) because I'm playing a pacifist.

I'm looking for a mod that displays anyone's health (in the usual place, not a floating healthbar) when the cross hairs are on them. It's really hard to see if someone is fully healed, or in fact nearly dead when I want to use healing hands. I don't use SkyUI (and don't like it) but I do have SKSE.

I would like to change the minimum required player level for DA07 Pieces of the Past, but there is no global, so I'm guessing that it is scripted somewhere. I have combed through the quests and can't find where it is to change it. USKP has a script on WICourier quest topic info, but I can't access that to see if it is in there. Another mod that changes the quest requirements to level 1 adds SMQNs. Is this the best option? Or could I just add a player level requirement somewhere (I'm not sure of the best place to add it to delay the courier giving me the pamphlet and starting the quest).

Nevermind, got it sorted. Facepalm moment.

Thanks. At least I know it is related to that bug then, and not something I messed up.

Is it Immersive Creatures? http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24913/? You should ask in the mod detectives thread though.
