Crazy Bounty Glitch

[Candex]

Hello once again, Nexus! Time passed since the last time I ever posted here!

 

It happens that I have a glitch. As the title says, whenever I get my character to the Imperial City a sudden bounty appears.

 

I have Reneer's Guard Overhaul, so at first I thought it was some old regional bounty about something I could not remember. The number started at about 2065 gold or so. Paid the bounty. It stayed at 0 for some time (minutes, mind you). I think I managed to load a couple areas without making it appear again, but it was just a matter of time until it returned. I swear I watched my khajiit, I made sure she behaved, so this time, there was no crime to blame... It is most notorious when I use the doors to move from district to district. The bounty will sometimes be 2k, sometimes 5k and at times 9k approx. What puzzles me is that it drops as well as it raises. And at times it is 0, but Fast Travel is not always possible because 'you are being chased'.

 

Get away from the city and all is good.

 

I tried (the following several times, in several different combinations/orders):

- Turning off the regional crime system (RGO)

- Using the console command player.setcrimegold 0

- Paying the bounty

- Attacking a guard purposedly straight after paying a bounty, and it reappeared (around 2k for slapping a guard...) Paying that provoked bounty only to find the glitch was still going on afterwards

 

Possible conflicts I can think of:

 

- Conflicts with Realistic Leveling, which I also have running

- Something about LTD Vampire Overhaul, as you ca switch vampire personalities (kind of wearing the Cowl of the Gray Fox)

- Cobl, maybe? It is one of my latest additions...

 

 

Of course I don't expect someone to tell me what is going on straight away, but I was hoping to find someone who might have experienced something similar and/or possible ways to fix it, to avoid the whole process of deactivating mod by mod and checking. (Doing so caused me some bad experience in the past as well!). Here is my mod load order list:

Opinions are welcome.

Thanks!

i read somewhere that wearing the Cowl of the Gray Fox causes bugs like this sometimes.

 

here's what it said:

"Continuously removing the Gray Cowl may cause your character to receive a random bounty. This will also happen if you get the guards to attack you, and then you remove it and put it back on again and immediately yield."

Thanks for the answer (sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm traveling and internet access is kinda tricky).

 

I suspected something similar, but the thing is that I don't use the Cowl of the Grey Fox at all. After fiddling a bit with my mods I found out there is something causing a conflict with Reneer's Guard Overhaul, which isn't working properly, as guards won't follow my character when sneaking, etc, but thank The Nine they don't behave like psychics or chase her till the end of Tamriel at least.

 

The vampirism mod I was using, LTD Vampire Overhaul, had a double identity thing going on, and allows you to choose to show monstruous form or not (vamp appearance). As I understand this acts similarly to the Cowl, so I wouldn't be surprised something went weird with it and all the other mods I'm using. I removed it and can play Vanilla vamp alright, without the crazed bounty glitch, although RGO isn't working entirely the way it should.

 

Oh well, at least I can still play as a werewolf.
