I think MODS are causing the Dark Brotherhood quests to get bugged

[wynterlyn]

Ever since my first play through of the game which I must say ran very smoothly with me having downloaded only 2 mods, I've been having a very hard time with the Dark Brotherhood quest chain. However, I had to restart cause I put points in random trees which didn't really make sense and since you couldn't reset your trees I went and started a new save.

 

On my second run, I simply was not contacted by the DB after "Innocence is Lost" even after 3 weeks of in game time. So I proceeded to my third save.

 

So this time every thing is running perfectly until "Mourning never comes". I completed my initial 3 quests that were given to me by Nazeem; however, now that I have completed them I can't seem to find any other quests or contracts to proceed. If I remember correctly from my first run, I received "Mourning never comes" on returning to the sanctuary immediately from AStrid.

 

I was wondering on the other hand does having too many mods impact quests in the game and cause it them to bug some how? Cause right now this is getting really frustrating.

 

 

The mods that I am currently using are:

 

Cloaks in Skyrim

Lively inns and taverns

Glowing Ore Veins

W.A.T.E.R

Flora and Fauna

Improved Blood Textures

Skyrim unofficial patch

I actually had the same thing with Mourning never comes. Never did find a fix, but I'm not sure it was mod-related.

As for your mods... if that's all, you're doing well compared to most of us. i have 45 at the moment. Comparatively, you have a very short list of mods...Lol.

LoL. I know that. I just hate changing the game too much. I prefer enjoying the game the way the developers wanted us to enjoy it. Most of my mods are mostly things that the devs would probably have done or could have done if they had more time.

 

P.S So you mentioned you as well had the same problem? What did you end up doing?

[slainia]

Had to restart.

 

But tbh the list of mods you provided doesn't seem likely to be intefering with a quest.

As for mods themselves, they're definitely not for everyone.

 

I love them, but i know others that don't. lol.

Oh I love them. I sure do. Its just that I don't really like downloading tooo many MODS at least not until I've managed to complete the game for the first time the way the devs intended to. I have not even managed to do that cause of the bugged DB quests.

 

So you mentioned that you had to restart. Did you game bug on the 2nd attempt?

 

P.S I think the Skyrim Unofficial MOD is giving most people a hard time. Just got a couple responses regarding that MOD. Will probably get rid of that first.

[slainia]

No, actually it's been really smooth so far. I've only ever experienced that bug once, though. And honestly I've had more trouble with vanilla skyrim than i have modded skyrim.

And tbh the unofficial patches have been a mainstay for me.

I hope this next time works out though :P
