Certain NPCs are getting stuck

[xcalknight]

I'm having quite the game breaking issue here. I have encountered a few problems with NPCs not moving along their quest paths and becoming stuck in areas. For example, Vilkas getting stuck downstairs when he's supposed to follow me outside to test my strength or (another issue with Vilkas) when I arrive back at the Companions home with Farkas after coming back from the mission Proving Honor, getting that first shard of Wuuthrad, I head up the stair where Vilkas awaits me then Farkas gets stuck on the stairs and Vilkas won't move from his spot. I had to hit them repeatedly in the direction I needed them to go in order to trigger the rest of the quest. (Note: Vilkas still hasn't moved from that spot. He hasn't had food, water, or a woman in weeks and I suppose he just uses the bathroom right where he stands) Now, I'm trying to do the Dipplomatic Immunity quest and Delphine is supposed to travel to Solitude and instead she's walking around in circles in sandbox mode inside the bar she runs. I've tired teleporting her to the quest spot at the Solitude Stables to get her to trigger the rest of the events (activating Melborne to arrive at the Winking Skeever) so I can continue the quest. That didn't work. Spawning Melborne via console didn't work either. I would actually like to perform this quest without using console commands to just complete the quest and I don't wish to reinstall Skyrim. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I do not have a save game before activating this quest because I didn't notice she was just in sandbox mode when I left the tavern and after I left the tavern, I went to go do quests in Riften and eventually saved over all the auto and quick saves.

 

If someone can tell me how to get a list of the mods I'm using in NMM, I'll post a .txt up here and maybe someone can tell me what mod(s) I need to uninstall, replace, or rearrange in order to get Skyrim working correctly again. Also, if anyone knows how I can teleport or spawn NPCs to their designated locations and force them to complete the rest of the quest pathing and dialogue, I wouldn't mind doing that instead as a temp fix. I'm really dreading starting from scratch and reinstalling all these mods, some of which are asian, but those are only armor mods and I'm not sure how that would mess up NPC pathing and dialogue...

i don't think it's a mods your problem, some npc have this problem, (stupid IA), but more of the time, when it's happen, move you character in front of her, very closed, looking her in two inch of her nose..., most of the npc unlock and go back, the graybarb have make me this, too, i have be obligate to make this for her one after the other, it's happend sometime when two npc try to use a door in the same time, sometime too changing cell and return reset the cell for the npc and they unlock and continue her thing like if they have been never blocked, but they have much of this too, some npc for an unknow reason rest stock in the road, for me it's happening just houtside of whitrun, one npc stock on the road, i enter the city and going out thinking it's can help and wooo, they have two npn, like her now, but one are stock in the road in the middle of her stomack, i retry and woooo, another same npc appear, stock too in the road and i view only her head, they have much thing they happen but most of the time it's replaced, but i have read some little on this, and some people think it's (for player like me) i use the console command to have a real time, (yes i love playing realist), but it's change only the longuest of the day, but more people have problem like this, i have an ultime thing they can peharp help you, but not tested, go neer the people you you to correct (you must view her name in your window, (not too far) or you can use the consol command "prid" whit her ref or id number, i d'ont remember, but in you are neer her, look her and type kill, this will kill this people, and after when they are killed, look her deed body and type resuret (all this command whit the information on this npc) and i think they will become uncrazy (but not tested), but beware, some npc they don't be able to resurect,

I should've mentioned that I have tried killing her before and resurrecting but there's an issue of her being immortal. I don't know how to make immortal NPCs not immortal via console. Maybe I could accomplish this with .bat file commands. I've also tried disable/enable console command and that didn't work out either.

 

The reason I was thinking it was (or is) a mod causing these problems is because I have completed all of these quest no problem before in the past several times and now that I'm doing it again now with newly installed mods (a lot of them), one or more mods is screwing with these NPCs pathing. I'm going to try using a .bat file to make her immortal, kill her, then resurrect her but if that doesn't work, I won't know what to do...

 

Again, if anyone knows how to make a list of mods being used by NMM without me typing in all of the mods names 1 by 1, I'd really appreciate it, whether its mods causing these problems or not.

This is the code to make an npc mortal/immortal..., if it's can help you...

 

setessential <base_id> 0, setessential <base_id> 1

Make NPC mortal / immortal. This requires the base ID, not the reference ID displayed by clicking the NPC with the console active.

 

• This makes the npc of your choice "immortal", where as they would just kneel down if their HP is less than or equal to (<=) 0 and then recover slowly to get back up.

exemple, if you want to put "Lydia" immortal you type "setessential A2C94 1, to put her mortal change the 1 by 0

 

i know they have more command to help lique reset quest or other thing but i don't know it, but i remember the pass you say for the thing about the stable and the woman, i think it's normal, i have thinking of it too when it's happening to me, looking the womman turning in running, but i have not thinking to much because even me i will be not able to go out in foot, (need using the car, but the npc don't use it, and when i have going to the stable they have been here, but i am not sure if they have other thing to do between, anyway i think i am not able to help you more in this, sorry

The NPCs not walking around is a Bethesda update bug problem. Wait for the next update.

 

FYI - That's a man not a woman that gets stuck in the ground. An old bug that came back with the last update.

I thought I had fixed it with the console command "resetquest mq201" but not even this worked for somehow it ended up deleting the quest entirely. Now I'm curious if anyone knows how to start a specific quest. (I may start a new tread for this and let this one die if nobody replies.) There is a command to start EVERY SINGLE QUEST in the game but that is a really really bad idea. Anyone aware of maybe 3rd party programs that can edit quest strings within Skyrim? Would the Creation Kit serve this purpose? I've never used it before. I'm about to break down and just go back to a waaaaaaay early save I have and puts me back 11 levels. Guess it's worth it since this is the main quest line but if anyone can help with this matter, please speak up! I don't wanna lose all that I have acquired because this quest pooped itself.
