Companions - Aela won't transform and Skjor won't enter the Underforge

[DragonSorcererX]

So I'm doing the "The Silver Hand" quest for the companions, and when I go talk to Skjor he finishes talking then he starts talking to me again but it is just the normal option of "What does being a companion mean?" or something like that, and then when I enter the Underforge he doesn't follow me and Aela isn't in werewolf form.

I tried forcing Aela to transform using the console and nothing happens.

When I use the "setstage" command I can finish the ritual and the quests procceeds normally until the end of the quest, when I finish the quest Aela won't give me the retrieval quests, in fact, none of the other companions will give me any quests.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

I am assuming that is not your actual load order.

 

You have a USSEP patch when you are using USLEEP. Whether that is your problem I do not know, although if you have other SSE mods in there they certainly could cause problems.

I deactivated the two special edition mods I have and it still the same thing.

 

I tried with no mods at all it still didn't work.

 

I even tried reinstalling Skyrim.

 

If I knew how to copy my load order and paste it here I would have done so.

SAME PROBLEM

[AcropolisMods]

Given that there haven't been other appearances of this bug since 2017 and I haven't gotten any new mods since last update, I'd say this must have to do with the newest version of skyrim SE. I can't find any solution to it either, including disabling as many mods as I could without breaking my save

[Gorgopis]

I am a bit confused. As I recall, the player can’t enter the Underforge until Skjor requests the meeting after midnight, but the op’s character had already been in there. Now I broke my Companions’ questline when I tried No-Clipping into Dustman’s Cairn, before receiving the quest. So, to complete the sequence, I had to load a save made before my no-clip adventure.

I have found the UESP wiki on console commands useful, especially the command that shows the progress on the current tagged quest. If you know you should be at a certain stage, but see earlier ones marked with a zero instead of a 1, in the console window, then the earliest unfinished stages need completing, first. So, a player could start by completing the earliest unfinished stage of the current quest, by consulting the wiki and using the console quest-stage commands.

 

While this may be obvious, above, it is suggested because it will help players rule out mod-order issues.

 

I would not be guessing a mod-load-order issue, especially if running a good mod-manager. (Vortex really works for me, and has amazing tools. Vortex manages multiple mod-set-up profiles, and manages all SR data files depending on which groups of mods you wish to test. I have one profile for just the vanilla LE and 3 dlc.)

 

I have played the Companions Questline through 12 times, with 10 profiles mixing up to 50 different mods, and found it broken one time I decided to experiment with the console’s no-clipping feature. And I broke it a second time after using the console to enable all the map markers, and then fast-traveling to new locations. The CTD’s multiplied, and so did broken quests. On the other hand, I played the questline all the way successfully through using a follower mod that loaded multiple followers into the follower-exempt dungeons.

And players may consider revalidating Skyrim through STEAM. and letting it rebuild corrupted or altered files.

 

Let me know if I get something wrong.
