My wife won't stay in Lakeview Manor

[xTLx]

Recently I tried the mod Ekkii Spouse Life which allows your spouse to open up a small stall in Whiterun as well as attend to other activities in the market. Since my wife, Ysolda, lives in Lakeview Manor I assumed that the mod would not affect her (as the author explained in the description that if you don't live in Breezehome your spouse will not be affected, but an empty stall will be present in the city). It was probably foolish on my part to not be more cautious with the mod, as I assume it has not been updated for the release of hearthfire, but never the less I have run into several unsolvable problems even after uninstallation.

 

First off, Ysolda not only leaves Lakeview Manor if I bring here there using console commands, but she doesen't even have the option for me to ask her to move elsewhere in her dialogue menu. When I used

player.moveto

I found that she would just go about Whiterun and ultimately rest in her original house (not Breezehome) during the night. She is still married to me and allows me to collect money from her store and so on, but essentially she seems to still be affected by the scripts from this mod. Unchecking every mod in my load order didn't seem to do anything either.

 

Now the strange part is, and although I admit that I don't really have any experience modding, I can't seem to find any script that should be affecting her. Since I downloaded and installed the mod through the Nexus Mod Manager client I wasn't sure what files would be related to the issue so I downloaded the mod again manually. After uncompressing the package all I found was an .esp and a readme so I'm very confused as to what would cause this continuous problem.

 

Upon installation the mod doesn't overwrite any data, and I couldn't find any scripts in the scripts or source folder that were named relevantly. It also said in the mod's description that simply disabling and mod in the NMM client should be all that is needed.

 

I also tried tried disabling and then enabling her with the console using

resetai

as well as

recycleactor

all to the same effect. I have not been able to find any mention of this issue anywhere. I'm completely exhausted and confused on the topic.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm having a very similar problem.

 

My spouse Lydia had been residing in Lakeview manor without issues for a long time. Suddenly she wasn't there when I returned, and I found her back in Breezehome. When I bring her back to Lakeview she interacts normally, but when the converstaion is over she walks out the door ands off to Breezehome again.

 

I've been unable to correlate this to any mod I've added, and haven't seen this particular problem described anywhere else.

 

I'm open to all suggestions for what I should be checking out to fix this.
