tsnake Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Hello,I'm totally new to this forum, I need some help to find lydia...I've red many posts about her disappearing behavior.but, what I've lost is her duplicate... days ago, I heard ppl talking about lydia that she doesn't lvl up with the character.I'm a little pissed, so after buying my breezehome, I added and 'placeatme'ed a lydia aka. lydia ii, then I killed the original some Deep in the woods place, can't remember where. I traveled some with lydia II, but when I began my career in dark brotherhood, I sent her back, she said she ll wait me at home, but she never did... when I complete all quests of dark brotherhood, I just can't find her. I tried:in dragonreach, nowaited several times till lunch/dinner time, she s not at the table. in breezehome, nobut the bed is still owned moveto player refida dead lydia with steel armors as default, I think this should be the original? load previous game,sorry, too far away... is she dead? what else can I do in order to find her, of course with everything I gave her :) UPDATEyes, thanks, maybe I'm going to resurrect her if I could find the duplicate... and also player.moveto a2c94 took me to the original lydia - ofc, the dead body!

bdf1992 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) do this type "help lydia 0" get her actor id within the info (pgup and pgdw is how to scroll) do player.placeatme (lydias id) brand new lydia EDIT-forgot about the gear well my method wont work if you want the same gear...and you could also just resurrect the other lydia instead of thisthe only other thing i can think of is that her scrpit isn't telling her to stay at the house because she is a copy so look where she was before you had the house Edited November 22, 2011 by bdf1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurkmeja Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) Neverever use placeatme on NPC's! This console command should be totally forbidden to use on anything but simple objects! Your duplicate's scripts will never work the same as the original Lydia. The proper way - and the ONLY way - to do what you really wanted to do isto use "moveto player" and "resurrect" on her original prid. If i sound flustered it's with good reason, I've gotten a number of bogus bugreports on my companions in previous TES-games from people using this damn command. DON'T use placeatme on any NPC. JUST DON'T DO IT. EVER! ps. you might need to do "disable" and "enable" on her too after resurrect, unless they have changed that...

tsnake Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 hmmm thanks, I thought it might be the placeatme made all this out, so I just reserrect the original, and forced myself to forget all items on the duplicate... but on the other hand, I tried load a early game in which I did not placeatme the lydia II, I tried to find her refID the refID of the duplicate exists, but the same one won't work in my current game while using movto player refID of lydia II... so the refID of duplicates are randomly generated ?
