shylynx Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm hoping someone can step in and help me out here. I recently reinstalled Skyrim, Dawnguard and Hearthfire along with a few Nexus mods, and all was well. My Orc character was at level 27 and I still wasn't getting any courier delivering me letters (Hearthfire). So after a while, I just decided to drop in to see the jarl of Falkreath, do his dirty work and then be allowed to purchase land. But after visiting Lakeview, no attempt at building the house was ever successful. No ground ropes appear, nuthin'! No house. It's invisible. So I tried at the Morthal site... Same deal... Invisible house! I disabled ALL my mods (bare essence vanilla), reloaded an earlier save and the houses still remain invisible. I'm not too keen on restarting a full-on vanilla game (no mods at all) and go through all the hoops so I can purchase a plot of land and build yet another invisible house on it. No amount of effing around seems to make them appear. What is the problem? Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamefever Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Did you download the unofficail patch yet? Just type Hearthfire into the Nexus search box and switch the search option to most downloads Also your going to have to go back in time a bit --------You need to double check your mods list, getting DLC can be a headache-Stuff like Follower overhauls-Blood hope it works out -your best bet to survive patches and DLC is to have small Load Orders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took your advice... Got the patch, restarted a game (from the beginning *sigh*), installed fewer mods (excluded any that modify world cells), and lo and behold... It woyks!!! :) Such is the hick with DLC. Some seem to alter world cells and cause heaps of issues. I'll stick to re-textures and simpler mods. Cheers!

LithiumPower Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I had the same issue and thought the houses would appear after a cell reset (home building isn't instant and shouldn't be). So I bought all the lands, built all the houses and waited. Nothing. Finally went online to research, found out about the modified cell issue and discovered the much beloved regional hold labels mod was causing the problem. So I uninstalled, and voila - all the houses appeared instantly and my dovahkin lived happily ever after. The new version of regional names 3+ doesn't cause the issue.

gamefever Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 @Lithium Flower Good point there, Ok this is a probelm with the way the ESP system works. ESP's make changes to the game in various ways but the last ESP to load is typically the winner. Think like this HearthFire is at the TOP of your LO, any ESP that alters the land that houses are supposed to be in will win!!! Meaning you won't see HarthFire houses in those locations. There currently is no way to automatically fix this with 3rd party programs. You could fix it in the CS, and or the TES5edit. But Tes5Edit will not fix it automatically via merged patch like it could with F03 even then a hand made patch was better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
