Solitude Execution Won't Start

[KurganSPK]

Hi all,

 

Out of the blue I'm having an issue where Rog's execution won't trigger when you enter solitude - tried removing Alt Start and using Vanilla start, no joy. Used various AS starts and no joy. All other vanilla scripted events seem to be working - giant outside solitude, dragon at helgen, etc. Was working fine and now is not. I did not add any mods that alter solitude and I even removed all mods I'd installed after I knew it was last working fine and that didn't work either. Truly perplexed. Any ideas?

 

Is the setstage thing safe to use if I need to to get past this?

I have the same issue in Solitude. Entering the city won't trigger the event. Nearly all actors are present at the exception of Vivienne, Beirard, Lisette and Noister (I think it's because of that that it doesn't start). They are not far from the scene but refuse to move... I use Alternatre start and i tried a few starts, they all have the same consequences: no execution and Svary quest is bugged when i "force" the execution.

I'm gonna try to just use Alternate start to see if it is responsible or if it's this mod in conjonction with all my other MODS (I believe it's that)

 

I tried a vanilla save from someone on nexus just after Helgen cave (my lod order is exactly the same, including AS LAL) and went straight to Solitude (coc Katlasfarm first then entered solitude normally). All works perfectly, roggvir is executed and svary quest is not bugged.

 

But to use thestastage works:

kill (Roggvir)

setstage solutudeopening 10

setstage solutudeopening 20

setstage solutudeopening 30

 

that was enough for me but there are also 35, 40 and 200. Then, had to use setstage solitudeFreeForm03 10 then 20,then 30 to achieve svary quest whose dialogue was bugged!

 

EDIT: LAL works perfectly alone. It does not interfere with Roggvir execution. It is the combinaton of MODS that does... hard to tell with 200+ MODS....

 

Edit 2: fo me it was Armory of the favored soul that could not be used with alternate start

That scene can be broken very very easily - bethesda used a lot of care when creating that. Mods can change the area, but if anything is done to the executioner, Roggvir, or the guard talking, it'll break.

I have had this happen a few times.

 

All I do is switch off the game. Load the last save before the Solitude load door. If the save is not close to the doors I save at the load door & quit the game. I then load the game & go into Solitude & the scene starts.

 

This works for scenes at the College as well. The only time it does not work is with anything to do with Serana or her Mother.

OK so i was having this same issue, I assume it's open cities mod bc I haven't used alternate start. I tried uninstalling open cities, didnt work (left it uninstalled). Then I tried killing Roggvir and nothing happened (left him dead) and I was about to start the burning olaf quest. Then I noticed I had a quest marker inside solitude, but it would disappear when I entered the town. So i used the ~TCL command and walked through the walls only to find the group of missing people just huddled together underneath the town.

 

How I fixed this issue: Using the ~ console commands. I selected each person, one at a time, and would go back to the entrance and use the 'moveto player' command and they all just walked right back into solitude and went back to their normal npc routines.

I haven't checked yet but I wonder if it's like this for other cities.

 

Also I was pretty deep into the game and I didn't have a saved game from before I entered solitude.

It was enough for me to write

setstage solitudeopening 10

 

and everything started.
