torches are impossible to find..

Torches are for mere peasants. Real Dragonborns use this. Needs an update to iron out some quirks but otherwise runs just fine. Edited January 5, 2013 by ripple

Mshoap - I just had another look for those 2 and they are there but there are no conflicts or any form of alteration from a mod. So I am not sure what to try next! :(

 

ghostrecon - I knew about player.additem but I hate cheating but more so just want to fix this out of principle. Nothin worse than playing a game like Skyrim while knowing there is a bug you can't figure out, because you always feel like there could be more you don't even know about yet and you could be missing something cool like an epic item thats supposed to drop but doesn't etc. Thanks though!

 

ripple - That looks awesome and will definitely try that ASAP but I still wanna fix this torch thing as its bothering me hehe.

 

I have managed to find 2 torches from chests since I last posted though.. but That was about 7 levels ago so I still think its messed up and there isn't a single vendor anywhere who sells them and I clearly remember vendors stocking them randomly the last time I played.

 

The two I found were in Riften Barracks and in a cave for some quest I was doing.. so maybe those two were scripted to spawn and the problem is just with random spawns maybe..?

 

Cheers!

It may be that during your previous game, you were using a mod that added a lot of torches (that was removed from your load order when you started the new playthrough). I remember I could not find any torches when I started my first game, and went hunting for mods that would allow me to craft torches (which is how I stumbled upon 'Wearable Lanterns'). So the lack of torches seems to me more like vanilla game behaviour than something that was introduced by mods. When I was using 'People Have Torches', just about every NPC in game had a torch. Since removing that mod (it was making my game unstable), almost no one has a torch. Maybe a random guard here or there, never any bandits, never any unique NPCs. That could have been the mod you had.

install people have torches.. it will add immersion to the game, and torches to everyone

Hey Ripple - Thanks for your suggestion.. its possible that I had a mod like that but don't remember it. Its also possible that vanilla Skyrim dropped a lot more torches in the early release versions and they somehow got nerfed with a patch. But vendors should definitely sell torches whether its modded or vanilla right? I have been to every vendor in every major city and a lot of towns and haven't seen them sell one torch.

 

Plus I am pretty sure guards are supposed to drop them in vanilla quite commonly. Haven't found one..

 

Also just thought I would mention that my Skyrim files are 100% freshly downloaded since I last played. But is it possible they are corrupt? I have seen a lot of other little problems like this : http://tinypic.com/r/1zbyy43/6

But I assumed that was because of the unofficial patch..

 

Thanks Jodi - I have looked at that but does it work with Wearable Lanterns? I only seen the compatibility patch for Wieldable Lanterns.

 

Cheers

Actually, now that you mention it, I don't think I've seen any vendor sell torches in my current game. So far I've only been to Riverwood, Whiterun, and Markarth.

I just killed a ton of guards in Markarth....maybe 10 or so, and almost all of them had a torch on their corpse, so you are right there (but they won't always use the torches at night).

I've never seen that weird texture in my game. I am also using USKP. Might be something else?

Hmm I will have to try a new game completely un-modded and see if any of these glitches still happen.

 

Either way I will probably completely re-download Skyrim just to be safe.

 

EDIT: Clicked on the tree stump in console mode and got the ref ID and looked for it in TES5Edit.. it was called "ChoppingBlockBloody" but nothing was modifying it.

But it could be enchanced blood textures.

 

I have also noticed snow on walls seems really low resolution but I can't remember if that is normal.

 

My mod list is on the 1st page of this thread btw in case you see something.

 

Cheers!
