The dark brotherhood quest "Mourning Never Comes" won't be

I had the same glitch with one of my characters. After digging around in the Creation Kit for a few hours, I found some console commands which allowed me to finish the Dark Brotherhood questline. Before attempting any of these commands, save your game just in case they make things worse.

 


  1.  
  2. If the courier never shows up with the Dark Brotherhood note and you don't get kidnapped while sleeping after completing "Innocence Lost", open the console and type:
     
    setstage DBEntranceQuest 20


    The courier should now show up and you should now be kidnapped while sleeping.
     

  3. If, after completing the first 3 contracts for Nazir, Cicero never shows up and Astrid does not give you the quest "Mourning Never Comes", first, exit the sanctuary, then open the console and type in the following commands. I had to enter them one at a time; running them in a batchfile would not work for me.
     
    prid 0001E64A
    enable
    prid 0001E648
    enable
    prid 0001BDE8
    moveto 0001E64C
    prid 0001E64A
    moveto 0001E64B
    prid 0001BDE7
    moveto 0002EE3D
    prid 0001D4BB
    moveto 0002EE3E
    prid 0001C3AE
    moveto 0008D294
    prid 0001BDEB
    moveto 0001D23E
    prid 0001D4BC
    moveto 0008D295
    prid 00015CF4
    enable
    setpqv DarkBrotherhood CiceroArrive_var 1


    Then, enter the sanctuary and the Cicero arrival scene should play out and Astrid should give you the quest "Mourning Never Comes".
     

  4. Before talking to Astrid after completing "Mourning Never Comes", open the console and type:
     
    setpqv DarkBrotherhood CiceroTalk1_var 2


    This should make the scene where you spy on Cicero play correctly.

After the scene where you spy on Cicero, I didn't need to use the console again to finish the Dark Brotherhood questline. The only other anomaly I noticed is that volumes 1-4 of Cicero's journal didn't show up in the sanctuary. They are not critical to the main Dark Brotherhood quest, but if you really want to read them, you can add them to your inventory using the following console commands:

 

player.additem 0009DABE 1
player.additem 0009DAC1 1
player.additem 0009DAC4 1
player.additem 0009DAC5 1

Good luck!

I just did this, and all it did was cause Astrid to keep seeking me out, looping her dialogue about giving me a contract. Journal was never updated, and the quest pop-up never happened.

 

Edit: Just found out for some reason, my quest is listed as completed even though it's only objective is "Speak to Astrid." Anyone have a fix? :\

I have the same problem. Will try the solution suggested by sciron524 and see if that works.

 

** The long list of typed commands did not work for me. Attempting another fix by killing the DB03 target and using the SetPqv command.

I was able to get the dialogue going but Cicero didn't spawn. Anyways I'm going through the quests without him and it seems to be working. I have to use console commands for situations when interaction with Cicero is essential. Other than that thanks sciron.
