CM Partners problem

[lco1138]

For some time, I've been having a very basic partner for role playing purposes, using a simple follow spell mod. But everytime my character uses a passive spell (eg healing, pose spell, etc), the NPC went into a hissy fit saying that there's a psychopath on the loose, and calling for the guards. So deciding I've had enough of his wimpy attitude, I decide to give CM Partners a whirl and try to create him as a proper companion (and get some much needed modding experience).

 

Now the problem is that I have the latest version of CM Partners basic and have the three required esps/esms checked to run, but when I see a likely recruit (eg. Ren the Orc in the King And Queen Tavern), I cannot recruit them. Pressing the spacebar to engage in conversation just brings up the icons to enter the speechcraft minigame or quit converstaion. Entering sneak mode and trying just allows me to pickpocket him. I get no update to say if the quest is active or not (CS seems to say that I should), nor do I get any rings in my inventory.

 

What am I doing wrong?

CM partners will not simply join you -- you talk about role playing, well CM makes you do that. You have to increase your disposition towards would-be partners before they will have any other meaningful dialog.

 

Regarding the quest, once a partner has joined you the quest will be updated and you can track your partner by having 'Partners' as the active quest.

But that's the problem, I have full disposition but am not seeing any dialogue that lets me ask them to join me. I cannot recruit them.

Can you post a screenshot of what you mean? I am unsure what you mean by "I have full disposition". Full disposition to all of your partners? That's very doubtful if you have just installed the mod.

This is all I get if I try to talk to him - no dialogue options

and disposition is maxed out -

[Hickory]

That's very odd, not least of which is the fact that you have full disposition without having spoken to him previously. Can you post your mod list via Wrye Bash (right click on the 'File' tab and select 'List Mods...'. Copy and paste everything, including the spoiler/code boxes.

Are you completely positive you have both CM Partners.esm and CM Partners.esp active? If you don't, this is exactly what happens. Check again and make sure they're both active in your load order. If it's checked in OBMM or something and still not working, check the vanilla splash screen's data file list.

I can't read that one-line mod list. Can you correct and repost it, in spoiler boxes, please?

[lco1138]

Ok, amended. Preview showed it fine, but the actual post came out in a mess. :wallbash:
