My dream mod is any mod that bethesda and steam aren't trying to capitalize on by integrating it into steam workshop.

The quest you need to finish to get the house is Blood on the Ice. This quest has so many problems and doesn't work correctly for many people. You will have to wait for the patch or for the creation kit and a modder to fix it.

I tried the completequest command and it completes it, however when I talk to the Jarl's assistant he still says the same thing about murders.

I did do the dark brotherhood questline. However this is completely ridiculous. I thought when they released the game it was stated that no quest will break another quest. Not only that, I don't give a crap about this quest. What I really want is the windhelm house which I can't get until this is completed. Besides that fact, I've read about people who finished the db quests and it still worked because it spawned another random npc to get killed.

Sorry for sounding rude but this quest is infuriating and put me in a really bad mood everytime I go to windhelm and the epople aren't in the cemetary.

Make sure you pick the dragon, hate for you to destroy your world with a few key strokes. This won't be a problem if you get in the habit of saving before you ever use to console to make a dangerous change.

modav is notorious for causing level up problems/skill problems in bethesda games. If you really need to use to console to increase your level use setav not modav. Onceyou increase your skill to high using this I believe the problem becomes permanent. You might need to reload an old save, or manually increase your level using advlevel to increase one at a time until you reach 50.

Did you try opening the console and selecting the dragon with the mouse. Then type disable. This should delete his entity permanently.

I have this same problem. I increased the address size of my tesv.exe from 2 to >2gb and the problem has lessened significantly. Now it only happens occasionally. Although your processor is bottlenecking your computer so that could also be the problem.

There is actually a way to make the game perform better and solve your problem at the same time. If you extend the address space of tesv.exe to greater than 2gb(if you have more than 2gb of ram) it will no longer load in steam. You can just click the tesv.exe and the game runs without steam started plus you get the larger address space so it will lag/stutter less. Use cff explorer to change the address size in the file header. Just remember that everytime steam updates the game, it will redownload texv.exe and you will have to make the change again. Alternately you can just set the exe to run as administrator and it should run without steam. WARNING: only do this fix on games that are not vac secured or you will get your account vac banned.

Also, there should be an ability to get rid of shadowmere without killing her. I hate teleporting to a location in stealth mode just to have shadowmere to bounding in and giving my position away. Not to mention getting in the way while I'm fighting. I hear that if you kill her she doesn't respawn so having the ability to make her "wait" in a spot, and have a come to you spell, would be a good addition to any horse.

At least you can get the windhelm house. The "blood on the ice" quest is glitched for me as such I can't even start it. Even changing the quest stage does nothing, nobody shows up in cemetary. I hear many people have problems with this quest. So before you request a mod to fix the house perhaps a mod to FIX the quest so we can actually GET the house first...

One mod that this game definitely needs is the ability to completely remove items from your companions inventory. There is a similar mod for new vegas that makes invisible items in your companions invetory visible. For instance, my companions wear ugly armor/clothing, and while I can give them new armor/clothing I can't remove the old/default armor/clothing, thus they only wear the better of the items (so they may wear a new robe, but their old hat and not one I give them). Also, everytime I fire and rehire a companion, their armor/clothing has switched back to the default and I have to force them to reequip the other armor or clothing that I gave them. I don't know why Bethesda made you unable to remove EVERYTHING from a companions inventory. Another mod is the ability to have categories in a chest. While the items in a chest are in order, there are no categories like your character item list has. Everything is just under "chest". This takes forever to scroll through if you have a lot of things.

I can not get this quest to start. I msut have entered and exited windhelm over 100 times. I've tried exiting and entering the door traveling away and back. I can't get the body and group to appear at the cemetary at night. This is pissing me off because without this I can't buy the house here because the steward keeps talking about some bad business or some crap every time I try to buy the house(I have finished the stormcloak quests completely and I am the Jarl's "friend" so the buy house command is availible). I have also tried using the setstage commands and completequest commands for the quest to no avail. I still can't buy the house or start the quest either way. On a side note, I also can't get a misc quest called "go to winter college", or something along those lines, to finish. I've already beaten the entire mage's quest and am now the arch mage and apparently I still haven't been there?

DOH! Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten about that since I rarely ever add new master files to my load order or change the order of the existing ones. I just reloaded masters in wrye bash and it fixed the problem.
