O...kay - I figgered it out. A-MAZING sleuthing, part reading the description, part opening my eyes and looking. Here's how it works.
1) You talk to Recorder in the Temple of Mara in Riften, ask her what's on her mind. She wonders why you're still alone; there are three answers, and (I gather) if you answer the two of them that indicate you're still looking or interested, the quest continues.
2) Some time later (has to be at least 24 hours, but you DON'T have to stay at the temple of Mara; go about your game). In my case it was several days later and I talked to her in the middle of a quest somewhere, discovering her "About what we talked about earlier..." cue was up.
3. After you finish this cue sequence (I don't know if it's right then, or later; I never checked at the time), trade stuff with her - and there in her inventory, you'll find a shiny new spellbook of Summon Recorder!
GOSH she's fun to adventure with! I've equipped her with dragonscale armour and gauntlets; nearly twice the protection of Glass armour, more than my Nordic Carved, in fact; but I'm sticking with the Nordic Carved because it's fur-lined and insulated. Yeah she still complains about the cold... I armed her with two dragonbone daggers of paralyze and some one-hand gloves, and she's a buzz-saw; only sidekick I've found yet that I can let wade-into a crowd of baddies by herself, while I stand back and loot corpses... ;)

Solved - I guess... I used Priv / moveto player to call Recorder into Clockwork. For any who've not adventured with Recorder, I recommend; equip her with two dragonbone daggers of Paralyze, then sit-back and watch the fun!

Part II - I started a new chara and, still at Level !, tried again - same result.
I'm going to delete the Recorder mod, reload and try again.

I take Recorder to the Temple of Mara, and follow the bouncing ball - she says we'll be together after the academy approves, and agrees to be my lover (?), and when I go back into conversation with her, trying to get her summon spell, she starts-off with, "You're married, right?"
Uh, no, I'm not... I wanted her teleport-to-me spell; I wanted her to be able to record the Alduin fight, and take her along through Clockwork. I tried the console commands and got a series of titles of code, but no ident for the spell or the spell tome so I can't addspell or additem.
This character is a level-60 I built; it irked me that travelling Skyrim, I'm finally at a level to do all the quests once the quests are all done. So I stooged-around, collected a lot of skill level-ups from experts (with unlimited-leveling mods) and didn't really do any of the main quests until I had dragonbone smithing, archery and sneak @ 100. At that point, I saved - and all my subsequent 'lives' start from there. I'm married to Serana (via a mod) in another save of this character, but that's in another iteration, well after the common save point; I'm not married in the iteration I'm doing with Recorder.
Any ideas?

I had trouble with this one too - here goes:
- From the cave mouth of Eldergleam Sanctuary (literally the cave mouth - I walked into the cave by accident), face almost North.
- three trees are in your view, one close, one at the top of the hill and a smaller one some distance away, just behind the second tree.
- go North to the second tree; it's ~9 paces away.
- 5 more paces North, you're at the shoulder of the hill.
- turn Northeast; in front of you is one of those strange off-white calcite formations that look like a series of weird nested bowls on top of each other.
- the formation is 10 paces away; the file is on top of it, on the Eastern lip.
NEXUS Mods won't load.
in Skyrim LE
Posted
Win10, AMD 6300, 16Gb RAM, NVidia 950 and the Creative internal sound card with the fancy volume dial. It has always crashed every once in a while playing Skyrim; I downloaded the SIV utility and discovered the CPU was getting stupid hot - still ~78C after the reload. It had the POS AMD air cooler with one dinky li'l fan, I installed a water cooler and it's run much better; but it still crashes every now 'n then, there seems to be a line running north through the map, from just west of Falkreath through Lake Ilinalta, the Whiterun Plains cause me no trouble, but then just west of Morthal and through the Morthal swamp, crossing that line is good for an instant doubling of the fan speed on the new cooler and it often still crashes there. The AMD 6300 is bad for graphics-intensive (or just Bethesda, maybe) games, it has 6 cores - but four of them do nothing but process graphics.
This system has always been Win10, and certain mods will not go any further than the 'Download Manager' box in the bottom of the Nexus Mods Manager; notably Vilja. Helgen Reborn loaded initially, I played it ~all the way through, then I started it again to hook-up with Cienna (nice little girl, fine fighter and not a Lolita). This time through, my system started crashing - and crashing - and crashing; not a crash-to-desktop, neither; full black-screen-to-reboot and a loud buzzing sound. I unloaded the mod and it stopped crashing, but now Helgen Reborn won't reload. I tried two more today, based on a MXR review - The Kids Are Alright, and Zim's (I think) Improved weapons, 'n stuff. Neither of them will load.
The mods I have include Clockwork Castle; loaded first try, has never given any trouble, but I would HATE to try unloading and reinstalling it, I betcha it wouldn't come back. Anybody have any idea what's up with this? I'd be willing to bet most of the mods were Win7 or XP - any idea if Win10 doesn't like them?
Thanks!
