Where Spirits Have Lease Problem

[AGLNM01]

Hi All,

 

I've just started playing Oblivion again with a new character. I'm currently working on the quest Where Spirits Have Lease and I've hit a snag. Velwyn and I have entered Benirus Manor, but instead of him following me to the secret door in the basement to open it, allowing me to finally lift the curse, he just stands there. If I try to speak to him, the only options available are either Continue to the manor, or wait for me.I have the Unofficial Oblivion Patch and Better Benirus Manor mod iinstalled. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so, would you please explain how you fixed it?

 

Thanks.

I had that issue as well. I think I added a bugfix for it inside my latest mod really. If you do not want to use my mod, I will guide you through this as it is a bug that is not fixed in the UnOfficial bugfixes really. You should use my fun mod anyway, as that is what it is if you aske me, fun :wink:

So I have 2 fixes for this inside the HobbitHome.esp as when I played that quest several times, he first got stuck at the entrance floor, refusing to update the quest so my fix inside that esp, updates the quest at 2 places to the right stage and it is both at the entrance and also as soon as you get to that door in the basement.

 

There are 3 ways you can solve it without using my mod if you do not wanna use it that is.

• His distance to the player is to high. Use TCL, pass the door until he follows you and get closer to the door.
• Get to the door and face him, open the console and click him, and type:
  • Moveto Player

• 3. Open the console and type Setstage MS02 88 and this is what I added in to my mod. As you get to that door, it will set the stage to that quest to 88, problem fixed. No where is that to be found in Oblivion.esm NO WHERE and that is odd, as it did work 2006 really. I do use another version now, the GOG version and it is not there and I have searched. Nothing trigger that stage and it is odd, no one else have that problem as this is the first time I see someone else having this issue.

So if you install my mod and it does not trigger. Walk back a bit and make sure he follows you back a bit and go back to the door again. You will also get a change inside my house for that specific quest like this:

 

 

 

And so far, that is the only Anvil quest I added to the house. All quests will make changes to the house in the future, as the purpose it to show you what you have done, like a form of visual Achievements if you wanna call it that. It is also a house filled with all tools you will ever need and it took me 2 years to build it so far. :D I guess it will take me 10 years to complete the house, approxly counted... :wink: 10 or 20, who cares, as it is fun doing this and I still have new ideas for the house. I do it as long as it is fun. I do spend the majority of my game time in and around the house as it is a lot going on there every day if you also use MOO that is. MOO is not nesesary but my MOO addon for the house really makes it come to life, so I suggest you use it, for many many reasons really. :D Maskar also supports it and is working on an upgrade, so it is the best Overhaul we can ever use as it really makes the game funnier. Maskar is also testing my house right now and he sent me some ideas and inputs at a PM, which is very cool. I made him some stuff for Maskar as well, for the next MOO and I hope he includes them.
