Shadowmere disappeared

[IlanF]

I installed the horse armor pack and armored Shadowmere with the Elven armor.

But now I lost her, I can't find her anywhere. She didn't come back to Fort Farragut.

Where I can find her?

From UESPWiki:

 

While it is indeed possible to apply armor to Shadowmere, once armored she is in danger of vanishing from the game world. In this scenario, she will not reappear at Fort Farragut (normally, if Shadowmere wanders off, one can find her at the Fort - but not if she's armored).

 

* One easy way to remedy this problem is to observe Shadowmere after fast-traveling. Once you arrive, if you see Shadowmere walking off into the sunset, quickly get on the horse then dismount again. Shadowmere will then stay put.

 

\Edit:

 

You could also try this console command:

 

player.moveto 00032BF5

 

And see if it puts you near Shadowmere. 00032BF5 is Shadowmere's Reference ID (life detect can help).

Didn't helped...

I took me to the stables near the Imperial City...

I saw this:

The statistics provided for Shadowmere (in particular the RefID and BaseID) only apply to the unarmored version. If you install the Horse Armor Pack plugin and add armor to Shadowmere, she is actually replaced by a different horse. Most of her statistics remain the same, except:

 

* Steel armored Shadowmere: BaseID=xx000CE6, RefID=xx001C25, health=750

* Elven armored Shadowmere: BaseID=xx002116, RefID=0x002122, health=750

what I need to write in the player.moveto?

This is a well known and documented bug. Try disabling the horse armor and see if Shadowmere returns to Fort Farragut. You might have to wait 3 or 4 game days for it to reset. Then, don't put armor on Shadowmere. She is essential and can't be killed anyway. I had several other problems when trying to use the horse armor - higher incidence of CTD, lower framerate and slowdowns. I finally kicked it off my system.

 

There are several other horse armor programs, I haven't tried them, but someone may have solved the disappearing Shadowmere problem in them.

I waited a week, but nothing...

For Shadowmere, SetAV health 750 should have the same effect, without risking bugs and death.

My last ideas:

 

Try this console command:

 

placeatme 00032BF4

 

The different number is not a mistake, "placeatme" uses the Base ID, not the Reference ID.

 

IF that doesn't work, try this:

 

prid 00032BF5

enable

 

One of these will (hopefully, no promises) place an unarmored Shadowmere at your location. The second may not work, it may require that you disable the armored Shadowmere first.

Shadowmere is back! thank you very much..

I used the placeatme 00032BF4 after disabling the armor mod.

 

EDIT

I see Shadowmere now can die. what I need to do to make her stop dying?

If you haven't already, open the console, click on Shadowmere, and type:

 

resurrect

 

That will bring her back to life.

 

After looking, there doesn't seem to be a command to set essential status. I could be wrong though...

[Abramul]

Try SetEssential 00032BF4 1

 

Note that SetEssential needs a base ID to work, so you can't just use it on random actors.
