Help with a problem in an abandoned mod

[pedigreeann]

The creator of the mod Bleakwood Cabin hasn't answered posts since sometime last year, so I have to think he/she is no longer monitoring the site. And I have a serious problem. Maybe it is similar to problems in other mods that someone knows how to deal with. Note that I am playing on a PC with a game controller, not on the keyboard, so if I must use console commands I will need VERY detailed instructions.

 

As in many houses, Bleakwood has a rack for dragon claws and another rack for the Elder Scrolls you collect. The problem is that you cannot take something off the rack once it has been placed, particularly the Ivory claw and the Blood - Elder Scroll. I click on the objects and I receive the message "You lack this item." Yes, I do, since the blasted thing is already in the rack! Does anyone know of how to fix this problem so that I can progress in the game (finish Dawnguard or the Gauldar quest) or will I have to quit this game and start another?) My character is at level 57 or so. Lot of work has gone into him.

I only know how to do this via console commands, if somebody knows a better way, hopefully they will post it.

 

Open the console via ~ key

For the Elder Scroll-Blood, enter the following: player.additem xx0118f9 1 where "xx" is Dawnguard's index number in your load order. For most people, it is "02".

 

For the Ivory Claw, the command is: player.additem 000ab7bb 1

 

Using these commands will give you duplicates of the above items in your inventory. When you are done with the associated quests, you can either sell them (if cheating a little doesn't bother you) or you can use the removeitem command:

player.removeitem 000ab7bb 1

player.removeitem xx0118f9 1

 

If you need to find any other item IDs, I use the UESP to look them up.

 

Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I did as you indicated and it worked. Since I have the Winstad Mine in operation, Fellburg Castle serfs paying their tithes, Blackthorn village up in operation (lovely, lovely rents) and will soon have the Heljarchen Farm and brewery bringing in the cash, I shan't need to sell them; pretty soon I'll be able to buy and sell Maven Blackbriar and the whole crew. Going for a million septims, maybe two - I'll be able to buy the whole stinkin' province, mwua-ha-ha (Boris Badenov style).
