When will these be fixed?

Depending on the severity - some maybe hotfixed immediately, other will wait til next major release.

Getting asked to restart for the economy on a new game. DiD players - please read.

This isn't a bug with the list. Skyrim does not handle you playing one character, returning to the menu and starting a second. This is because skyrim doesn't unload all of the previous games scripts and can cause severe issues with your new playthrough (hotkeys not working, broken economy, merchants with no gold, or even your character leveling up when they shouldn't be).

Everytime you want to start a new character, you should be closing and reopening skyrim in its entirety.

Please DO NOT report bugs relating to this topic as its a flaw with skyrim itself. There is nothing we can do to make this work!

M/O 2 issues

  1. Reporting files in the overwrite - these are your crash logs
  2. All the Npc overhauls are disabled - They are supposed to be - they are for Dylan's use only - Hence "DEV RESOURCES" label.
  3. There are mods with Red X's - these are merged into the wildlander ESP - its perfectly normal
  4. Mod XXX is out of date - Perfectly normal for modlists to have older versions of mods, Some mods update several times a month and the list wont ever be able to keep up.
  5. aLL Graphics profiles are currently identical. This willm be fixed when Dylan returns from vacation.

Lighting issues

Lights are flickering on and off

Most noticeable in Breezehome's basement and entrance to riverwood but can happen everywhere.

This is caused by Skyrim's engine limitation of 4 light sources in a 30ft radius of the player. When you move the camera in a area with more than 4 light sources they alternate/cycle and turn on and off. This includes your torches and/or lantern.

There is nothing we can do to correct this, bug reports on this topic will be deleted.

Camera Issues

  • Camera can go wonky opening the Tab Menu whilst on horse back. (rarely happens)
  • Waking nightmare - when on step release the miasma - And your pretending to be casimir - you can see your player's body in front of camera. the effect only lasts for the duration of this step - and can be safely ignored.
  • Camera is too close to head when running

UI

  • On ultrawide monitor (2560x1080), perk names appear VERY right aligned to perk "stars" making it awkward to use the perk menu as perk names appear over other perk "stars" in many cases.
  • certain elements of the UI will disappear (the compass and the H/M/S bars) after pressing X or when an inventory window is open

Gameplay Issues

  • Bookshelves can be used to duplicate items placed upon them
  • Waking nightmare - when on step release the miasma - And your pretending to be casimir - you can see your player's body in front of camera. the effect only lasts for the duration of this step - and can be safely ignored.
  • Drawing weapon when stealthed increases speed
  • Got a bounty for opening a unlocked door in Whiterun's halls of the dead.
  • Prices of the summon tomes are WAY higher than the other ones
  • There is a note from Holidays on the counter of the Bannered Mare, but it cant be interacted with
  • Got a Trespassing in Warmaidens during opening hours
  • The Nightmother's Coffin can be searched and is Empty While helping Cicero
  • Alessandra says Anders is located in Windhelm instead of Whiterun
  • Users report every time they sleep they get deer pelt and 2 charcoal drop into inventory

With workarounds

  • when weapons are pulled out and you alt-tab, in third person the pc goes into block animation and moves really slowly but in first person the issues goes away Workaround: hit Alt. Note: This happens if you have moved Duel wield block to the Alt key and then alt+tab out. Its strongly recommended that nothing be bound to the alt key.

  • Horses occasionally forget to spawn with armor, despite having it in their inventory. You can force the horse to equip armor by the following process.

  1. Drop the armor on the floor
  2. open console, Click on it and make a note of the base id for the horse armor.
  3. close console, Pick it up and place it in the horse's inventory.
  4. In console again click the horse and use equipitem baseID 1 replacing "baseid" with the number you made note of.

The Companions

You need to do 5 Radient quests between each quest.

Thieves Guild

Thieves guild has some issues...... As a general rule - save Before handing in a quest to Brynjolf - so if you have issues you dont have to redo it.

Quest XYZ isnt starting

You need to do Radiant quests before the next quest will start - these settings can be seen in the MCM

Issues with A Chance Arrangement / Loud and Clear

90% of the time - this Happens if Brynjolf starts the quest "A Chance Arrangement" anywhere except in Riften's market place. (typically in the bee and barb)

Only fix is to reload a save before it starts, and avoid him until he is at his market stall (during the day).

Failing that:

  1. Meet the requirements to start the thieves guild (250 items stolen, 25 items pickpocketed, Sneak Skill at 25).
  2. Open a save before you have met Brynjolf.
  3. Be inside a cell that is not where the marketplace OR Brynjolf is, aka, not Riften. (the stables work fine for this purpose)
  4. Get to 10am gametime outside.
  5. Save your game.
  6. Exit Wildlander and re-initialize using the Wildlander Launcher.
  7. Load your game.
  8. Go to the riften marketplace and allow Brynjolf to come up to you and start the conversation.
  9. Complete the marketplace quest by planting the ring on Brand-Shei.
  10. Talk to Brynjolf once that is complete.

Note: If Brynjolf is not at the ragged flagon when you get there for the second quest, then save your game, open up a prior save where you can select Brynjolf's body using the console, then reload your game in the ragged flagon and enter this, without quotation marks, into the console: "moveto player"

Dampened Spirits doesn't start

Occurs if you have any other thieves guild quests active when Brynjolf directs you to maven.

Make sure you finish (or quit) any jobs you have active for Vex, Delvin or Tonika before handing in a Loud and Clear.

Failing that - After complateing, but before handing in a Loud and Clear - wait 24 hours in game.

Brynjolf is stalking me!

Enter in console: completequest TG03

Mod Issues.

Outlaw Refuges.

  • The stores contain static items which can't be stolen
  • Several beds have owned markers
  • Several objects (e.g. training dummies) are not interactable and should be

Bathing

If bathing in very cold water, it can kill you before the animation finishes.

Work around: don't take a bath in cold water ;)

When I equip my Backpack I get a pouch/book/holder/carpet appearing at my feet

You can possibly solve it by either dropping and buying a new item OR by dropping your item and using console commands help "item" and Player.Additem {itemid} 1

Crossbow Infinitely reloads

Happens if you switch gender using showracemenu. Simple fix - switch back.

complex fix

using ReSaver from FallrimTools: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/5031?tab=files
Loaded the savegame > search for hzNECRAliasScript
Delete Everything using the right click menu.

Properties Without Pestering

After starting a new game dialogue to purchase player homes will not show at first. This can be fixed by saving the game and loading the save.

  • Issue with Paarthurnax quest line (When talking to Paarthurnax during the "Paarthurnax" quest line, both "The Blades say you deserve to die" and "You speak wisely, yet how can I be sure you won't return to your old ways?" dialogue trees lead to Paarthurnax stating that Alduin has been defeated.)

  • Wuunferth the Unliving is wearing an Illusion robe (clearly visible with the retexture) but he specialises and provides training in Destruction. Should be wearing a Destruction robe for obvious thematic reasons.
  • Ever since Afflicted Refugees entered began spawning, it seems like they are spawning a lot. Granted, I've been traveling the roads a lot due to Thieves' Guild side quests, but they still feel over-represented in encounters.
  • Melaran, Sybille Stentor replacement, can be invested in multiple times, but with no effect
  • NPCs bunch around to loot dropped items

Sounds

  • Insect noise is overly loud.
  • Some interiors have ghost children playing sound effect.

  • I have noticed that when paying a blacksmith to temper a weapon you get smithing experience (I just got a level up due to it)
  • Tempering/Enchanting are way too cheap - I had Eurland temper my warhammer to legendary which only cost 1200 gold. The warhammer was doing 600+ damage after tempering

Exploits

  • i probably should mention that if a container isn't marked as stealing is not red then you can take anything inside thats marked as stolen right in front of the owner without theft
  • Put armor on mannequins in breezehome. Logged off for the night. Re logged in and went inside the items the mannequins were wearing was then sent directly to my inventory.

Followers

  1. Delphine cannot accept followers to join the blades - Current work around is to console skip the quest setstage FreeformSkyhavenTempleA 40
  2. Taught follower the spell Sunfire through the dialog. They use it in combat even on enemies which aren't undead and they seem to prioritize using only that.
  3. I gave my follower Marcurio 2 scrolls of Summon Fire Atronach and 2 Scrolls of Summon Wolf Familiar (Ghost wolf w/e its called) and he is able to summon either (one at a time) infinitely during battle. In other words, he never consumes the scrolls.

  5. Follower perks - Missing and/or Inconsistencies (Some followers have no perks)
  6. Followers teleport forward too close

If you are having a issue for a civil war quest - please check https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page - there maybe a work around here.
