I was looking at that while trying to figure out what went wrong with the quest and how to fix it. Tried a lot of the things mentioned in the later half of the page about the bugs and nothing was working for me.

I've never had such issues with it before. Think last time I couldn't even get the 2nd murder to happen. Never knew this quest was bugged so bad. I do have that patch but thats not doing anything. Usually when I start doing console commands I save before I do things in case I need to reload. I don't normally use the console unless this stuff happens. I play with controller because I'm use to playing Skyrim wth it and to lazy to pick the keyboard up to use the console. Played this when it first came out on 360. And only bugged I ran into was the Sheogroth Quest. It was so bugged on the 360 you had to gltch the Hiricine Quest to trigger the trophy. I'm not suprised the console will mess the save up. I normally don't use it unless I need to get past a glitch like that quest. And even then I make a save before incase things don't work. I'm not to concerned about the quest. I've beaten this a few times now so just trying new things out. But regarding this quest, is it better to talk to Wuunferth instead of Jorleif? Think the quest was saying its better to do it that way. I've only ever talked to Jorleif 1st.

I triggered the 1st scene where you stumble upon the 1st victim killed and need to examine and find witness. I did everything to where I talked to Jorleif and accused Wuunferth of being the killer. Investigate the Manor, collect the items, talked to Viola then Calixto and sold the amulet to him. I did leave the city and didn't come back for probably a couple weeks in day's wise doing other things. And when I came back to finish the quest to unlock the Manor to live in and Arivanya was naked apart from under wear and had cuts and guoges out. Seems I must have missed the timing for when she is suppose to die. I looked through the quest to figure out how to get unstuck but for what I was experiencing it wasn't there. I did try to use the commands the quest pointed out like disabling and enabling Calixto and Arivanya. Even did the ressurect and reset ai. I then tried to kill Arivanya and it seems she can't die. Even the kill command wont kill her. She just staggered. Any way to fix this or bypass this part? I did talk to Wuunferth in prison and he said to go to the quarter after 7pm to catch the killer. I did that and Calixto followed Arivanya around and did nothing but follow. I did somehow get Arivanya to disapear. Might have done disable on her and Calixto did the kill animation at the quarter but no one was there. I then enabled Arivanya and she stood in that spot but nothing happened. I didn't get any update to the quest or anything. It was still listed as completed. I'm not sure if using the quest commands will work. I tried to use them for the Deadric Quest for the orc stronghold since the gate was locked and couldn't be picked. I had no luck enabling the quest to show up in log or trigger any of the parts of the quest and did every command for quests. So no idea if it will work for this since I had no luck with the previous quest. Edit: Doubt it helps but I'm playing the Standard Legendary Edition.

I started to use Loot to help sort the mods I have and it gives messages or errors saying to use xEdit to clean up some of the files. I went and downloaded it and tried to use it and the 1st time it said can't read game. The 2nd time I tried it I installed Special Edition and it was able to read the game. But it was the Special Edition. I don't play that version. Not sure if my desktop can play it and if it can can it run with mods. Is there a specific version of xEdit that works with the Skyrim Legendary Edition? I think I tried both xEdit and SEedit and they both read the Special Edition. After looking around the help and Q/A sections I found that using xEdit isn't really a good idea since modders would have used them or it could screw things up.

Is there a certain way to properly update a mod? I know some mods are just textures and what not but some have the .esp file. I've seen some modders say to install there new version with the old one and replace the files and others say to remove the mod and install the new one. Not used to this way of modding. Few years back I just used Steam and it did everything it needed to. It seems the Unoffical Patch for Skyrim got an update. And was wondering how to update that since its not a small thing like a mod.

I had a feeling it would distort, but didn't expect some to crash the game like HDT. Any idea as to a good plugin like UNP? I probably wont use UNP again since while I was using it my saves didn't want to load. Sometimes they did other times they didn't. So I went and re-downloaded skyrim after deleting everything since UNP replaced quite a bit of meshes and textures. UNP looked like one of the fewest that didn't require a ton of extra Mods or Programs to use. Not a fan of having to have like 3 extra programs installed on my computer to even use some of the Body Slides. Thanks for the help.

I noticed that with one of the Armor sets I used, the body scale changes from average to heavy set. Before I used the UNP for better visuals but now that I'm not using them the armor looks off. It fit perfect before but it was made for UNP. Can armor/clothing still be used and not having any major issues without using UNP or any of the other plugins similar to it? Its hard finding armor/clothing that doesn't need those. I might get it later but last save had issues loading. Not sure what mods were causing it but so far without UNP and the several tweaks/mods for it. The save seems to be loading.
