humankeg Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 During a fight with a frost dragon, the dragon's frost nova spell became a permanent land mark in the farmlands south of Whiterun. Killed the dragon, and at least a week later the frost spell that dragon cast is still going off in a patch of cabbages. I new saved, deleted DD, loaded new save, and the nova does disapear. BUT my character starts doing a stutter run (moves for a split second, then stops, then moves for a split seconds, then stops, ect). This stutter run literally makes the game unplayable but I would still like to get rid of this nova spell going off. Anyone have any advice?

MShoap13 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 The Nova is probably still going off as far as Papyrus Scripts are concerned (which is probably the reason for the stutter). I'd recommend reinstalling the mod (with the exact optional files setup you had prior to uninstalling it), traveling to an interior cell (a player-owned home or the qasmoke testing area are commonly used, either will work) and then waiting for at least 30 days of in-game time to force all cells in the game to respawn. This will reset all containers, actors, etc. so if you have any loot stashed outside of a player home make sure you move it before attempting this. If you still want to fully uninstall DD after respawning all cells, I'd recommend following the same procedure after uninstalling it. No Boring Sleep-Wait Menu can be used to speed up the wait process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other question: would just lpaying the game normally, and waiting until 30 days game time usually reset this also? Or does it strictly pertain to being in a small cell area?

MShoap13 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 If you avoided even getting close to that cell whatsoever yes, it would eventually reset on it's own. Being in an interior cell ensures that all exterior cells are unloaded and not getting their respawn timer reset. The reason I recommend reinstalling the mod to clean up the effect is just to avoid any unforseen issues that could be caused by missing FormIDs upon attempting to clean up and respawn the cell.

Going to assume there isn't a faster way than resting for 24 hours straight, 30 times, is there? Lol could only hope. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humankeg Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Unfortunately nothing worked. Rested for 31 days, the frost nova spell was still going strong. Removed the DD mod, frost nova spell disapeared, rested in a home for 31 days and ctd when exited home. Same thing happened when I re-installed the mod after resting. Removing the mod always gave me the stutter step/walk/run issue too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
