ms11EnteringWindhelmCount jumping from 1 to 4 in first visit

[TotalWurzel]

Hi all,

 

I've got a problem, which I can't seem to find a solution for and it started when I wanted to play Blood on the Ice mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6126?); however everytime I try to play the mod, the enteringwindhelmcount has already reached four even when it is my first time going anywhere near Windhelm. When I arrived at either the stables or docks it would rise as expected to 1, however walking straight to the closest gate and before entering the count had jumped to 4. After speaking to the mod author and some playing around it was obvious that there was a mod conflict.

 

I took the opportunity of doing a fresh install to regularly check the enteringwindhelmcount was acting normally. I'd use ASLAL to starting in Kynesgrove and for the first 100 or so mods installed everything was fine. When I started I'd open the console type help enteringwindhelmcount, and it would return 0. Upon reaching Windhelm stables the count would rise to 1 as expected, and when I approached the main gate it would still be at 1, as expected.

 

However after installing a few other mods, the count now increased at the gate to 2. The mods installed were:

 

Campfire (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/667?)

Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/19924)

Dawnguard Map Markers (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/20931)

Diverse Dragons Collection (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/695)

Double Beds Are For Two People (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6788)

 

So, I uninstalled all five of these mods, and found that the count was still increasing to 2 at the main gate (I suspect that the other count increases will come from other mods I've yet to install on this build).

 

I've looked in SSEEdit and can see nothing that is changing the enteringwindhelmcount from its vanilla state, though my skills and knowledge are very limited is this regard.

 

I'd be grateful if anyone could let me know...

 

1. If any of the mods listed leave behind any files the game is still loading which could effect the enteringwindhelmcount, and what those files may be, I just don't have the knowledge or skills to be able to figure it out.

2. If you've encountered a similar issue with any mods, which mods they were and what solution you used to return to enteringwindhelmcount to vanilla.

3. Any thoughts about what might be causing the issue and how to fix it if my suspicions are incorrect.

 

 

Many thanks and Best wishes

 

EDIT: After much messing around with my mod list I've managed to get the enteringwindhelmcount to work as it should, although at times during testing it seems to a little twitchy, I'm beginning to suspect that this is due to the notoriously bug ridden MS11, however if anyone has any thoughts or a definitive answer I'd really like to know! Cheers.
