Thieves Guild Bug: Lack of Quests and Armor

[DainBramaged01]

Bug Report:

After completing 'Taking Care of Business,' Tonilia fails to give me any Thieves Guild armor, and neither Vex nor Delvin offer any jobs, or even engage in dialogue at all for that matter. I have tried re-loading to previous saves, deactivating what few other .esps I've had active at the time, and tried getting past this glitch with multiple characters, all ending in the same result. The one character I've got who is past this point in the Thieves Guild questline seems to be able to take and complete jobs as normal, but anyone new seems to run into the roadblock. I've also tried force-completing the quest via console command, and still find myself without armor or side quests. Vex won't even engage in conversation to discuss the Goldenglow job.

 

Quite frustrating, and killing my desire to play anyone associated with the Thieves Guild, so if anyone's got any insight, I'd appreciate hearing it. Something of potential note: the one character I've got who didn't run into this got to where he is weeks ago, prior to both patches 1.2 and 1.3. I suspect one of them may have somehow broken this particular segment of questline for me.

yeah i'v also had problems with the thieves guild, mine were a bit different, but still involving not being able to complete the small jobs for delvin and vex, i started a thread on it this morning.

 

i also had no troubles with the guild, then was unable to play skyrim for a while and came back after the patches to find problems

I am having the same problem. Tonilia will not issue guild armor, and the dialogue required to initiate the radiant quests is not available. I have restarted the game three times, and I have restarted the Thieves Guild questline several times. Additionally, I have attempted to solve the issue using the setstage console command. Nothing I have tried has been successful.

 

This issue is particularly frustrating because I completed the entire Thieves Guild questline only three weeks ago on another character. Also, I have not changed my mod lineup since then. Since nothing else has changed, I suspect that this problem is related to the most recent patch.

The problem was a result of this mod: Vendors Have More Money.

 

After several hours of troubleshooting, I narrowed down the cause of the problem to the aforementioned mod. I assumed that none of my mods were causing the issue, but I was incorrect. I first deactivated all of my mods, then I reactivated each mod individually, one-by-one, until I replicated the glitch. Others have reported experiencing identical issues, as evidenced in the comments section of Vendors Have More Money.

 

If you are using this mod, simply deactivate it before taking on any Thieves Guild quests. There is no need to restart the game. You may be able to activate the mod again after you get the armor, but I do not know what other issues may arise.

Yup that's the culprit mod, deactivated it just before the market pick pocking and all the normal Thieves Guild options were back in place. So I guess it can be run up to that point and deactivated for the entire Guild quest line both radiant and main to be safe. Thanks Z3n..one kudo well earned. :thumbsup: Edited December 27, 2011 by Aurielius

One from me as well :)

 

It wasn't so much of a problem that I didn't receive the gear because I'm playing a fallen paladin in heavy armor, but still it annoyed me some parts are undoable thanks to the vendors-mod :confused:
