My PC Skyrim has gone completely insane...
Posted: Tue May 26, 2015 4:01 am
This is something that I honestly can't figure out and it's driving me insane.
I'm using the same mod setup I've been using for several months now. For the vast majority of that time, everything worked perfectly; there were no odd glitches or anything that would disrupt my characters.
That all changed when the update to remove the file size limit on the Workshop was released. I didn't notice it at first, but I've come to realize there are some nasty problems at work here. Kas'Lei suffered through damaged quests, random CTDs, and other issues that weren't nearly as bad as what Narji got.
Narji is the one that took the hardest hit. I didn't notice anything in her random travels, but I sure as hell noticed it when I went to join the Companions.
Upon entering Jorrvaskr, the brawl that normally occurs between Athis and that one woman never started. In fact, most NPCs were not there. I went down into the living space to speak to Kodlak and spotted Vilkas running out of the area with his sword drawn. Confused, I spoke to Kodlak and he had a very one sided conversation with himself. He allowed Narji to join the Companions, but it was impossible to train as Vilkas had, in the span of 10-15 seconds, managed to make it to the area around Riverwood. In the time it took for Narji to reach the tree, he was already in Helgen. He would not come back.
I gave up on her save pretty much immediately after that happened as I couldn't find a way to stop it.
I've made some changes to my load order since then (removed armor mods I didn't use, removed Achieve That, Take Notes, and a few others), but even on a brand new save the issues are still persisting. I could join the Companions on a test character, but I've noticed the barrels in Riverwood are now marked as owned even though I have no mod that edits those barrels. Taking things from them doesn't count as stealing, either.
Similarly, a few of the presets for the Imperial females and the Redguard females have been swapped even though I have no mod that edits the character presets we can choose.
So... What I've got here is a mass of glitches that I can't figure out. I've got no mods that edit the affected areas/quests/NPCs/containers, so it really makes no sense. Has the update randomly broken every mod I have, even though it didn't touch the game itself?
If I have to reinstall, it'll have to wait until next month. I don't have enough data left to be able to download the DLCs right now.
At the moment, all I can do is resave all of my mods to make sure they use the most recent patch. Whether or not that will actually help I don't know, but... It's all I can think of doing because this is an entirely new level of [&@%!] up. I've been playing since December 2011 and I've never had anything like this happen.
