NPCs aren't giving me items from quests

[rawrrrz]

I just did a fresh install and downloaded a bunch of mods. Everything's been great, except I'm not getting items from NPCs. In a few different cases..

 

-Finishing the Golden Claw quest, I'm pretty sure he said he'd pay me, but I don't think he did, also I thought I remembered him putting the claw back on the table from a previous game, but he didn't this time. Possibly irrelevant, I was only just getting suspicious at this point.

 

-The next I noticed was Sven and Fa.. the elf. Neither of them would give me the nasty letter they wanted me to pass on to Camilla. I'd just keep going through the dialogue over and over, and get no letter from either of them.

 

-When I asked the bartender in the Inn about work, he wouldn't give me a note about a supposed bounty.

 

-Then the blacksmiths said 'sure, use my forge to make a dagger, here's stuff to do it!', except I got no stuff.

 

At that point I realized this is gonna be pretty game breaking and decided to ask for help.

 

Not exactly sure which mod would be doing this. Only thing generally quest related I think I have is BetterQuestObjectives. Sometimes my Kace's AutoLoot hasn't been doing it's job either, not sure if maybe that has any relation with me not getting items I should be?

 

Anyways, BOSS log below, any help would be much appreciated. I started installing about 12 hours ago when I woke up, really don't wanna have to do it all over again lol.. Only 3 warnings and 2 unrecognized out of 124, looks way better than it did before I reinstalled lol

[Geowil]

Did you ever figure this out? I am having the same problem.

[livipup]

I have the same issue and I tested all of the mods we have in common. Nothing fixed it. You wouldn't happen to have finished the Civil War Quests, have you? I started having this problem after I killed Ulfric. Sometimes I can't skip dialogue as well.

[ZurinArctus85]

I am having this issue on a relatively new save game. Septimus didn't give me the lexicon or attunement sphere, so I added them via console and the sphere worked but the lexicon isn't. No I can't finish the main quest OR Dawnguard.

You can just add the elder scroll itself to skip the main quest as a temporary solution.

That's what I ended up doing.

[TtlyN00b]

Sorry to bump this years old thread, but I've been getting similar problems as well and the title is just too vague to look up specific threads about.

So did this ever got resolved?

 

Also the problem seems to stretch beyond not just getting items from NPCs, but also for spells, powers, etc. and it's noticeable when the dialogue that would lead to the NPC giving you the item becomes unskippable.

And in some cases such as conjuration ritual spell, the candles surrounding the summoning circle doesn't spawn, and adding the summon unbound dremora spell through console, when cast doesn't work properly either; the dremora will be hostile immediately and can't be resummoned as the quest normally goes.

 

Oh, and it doesn't happen immediately on saves either, only after certain amount of time it seems.

I can still exit the dialogue and the quest in journal seems to update/accept the quest (though not for miscellaneous quests it seems) although the bugs such as objects not spawning, etc. persists and might break the quest.

Last edit:

 

Seems like loading an EARLIER save in a DIFFERENT cell and getting the quest again solves this. Still unsure whatever the heck is the cause and why this even fixes it.

 

Had this issue with: Getting Nurelion's Mixture from Nurelion in White Phial, loaded an earlier save that's still in Windhelm city proper instead of White Phial's interior, re-entered White Phial, asked for the quest again and everything works fine.
