TyburnKetch Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) I was happily modding away when i noticed the Riften Force Greet Guard had disappeared from the gate. Naturally I thought it was something I had done by mistake to my own esp. Checked SSEEdit. Nothing.Reverted back to an old backup of my esp. Still no guard. Loaded Skyrim through Mo2 skse (as always) WITHOUT my plugin. Still no Guard outside of Riften. Ok. Def not my plug in. I have been COC ing for months with no problems to Riften. The guard is always there. But all of a sudden. No Guard. Long story short, I have just clean uninstalled Skyrim SE 1.5 and upgraded to 1.6 (AE), so completely wiped Skyrim from my steamapps, documents and appdata (I have made a back up of all the folders - stored on my D: drive) and STILL no guard when COC to RiftenCityNorthGateExterior (or anywhere for that matter) when loading up through the SkyrimLauncher. So about as Vanilla as you can get! I just don't get it. Any help very much appreciated. *EDIT* Ok. Mystery solved. I feel a fool. Basically, as i was in this position, by reinstalling the game completely, I wondered if the guard was somehow linked to some game start up functions. Seems I was correct. Having just spent the last 15 mins, painfully, playing the opening scene/s and getting out of Helgen, I COC'd to Riften and low and behold the git is standing there! What and how made him stop standing there from my setup whilst working on my mod on 1.5 is still confusing to me, as, like I say, I'd been COC ing to Riften from game startup for months with no issues. If anyone has any insight as to what is going on here I'd be very grateful. But at least I am now not going completely mad.

cumbrianlad Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Ha! That is very strange. It's never happened to me before, but while trying to set up a new Khajiit merchant, I noticed Ri'Saad's caravan outside Whiterun. They had no camp. Ri'Saad was sitting on the grass and the rest of them were all in a line, not doing their normal chatter... ... oh hell, I thought: how have I possibly managed to screw up all of the vanilla caravan traders? I mean I looked at their actors, packages and factions but I swear I didn't edit them. SSEedit confirmed this. I was like you, minus the clean install. Then all of a sudden, without me changing a thing in my esp, they're all back to normal... eh? It turns out that is a known bug with his caravan at Whiterun. I'd just never noticed it before.
