As far as I know, yes... but I can't remember which page it's on in this thread.

Be patient for a few days - there are users who know where this patch is.

I just thought I had gone crazy when I saw that your quote of my post was in German, which made me think I had written my post in German.  Something, even though I can still write German, I should have noticed.

 

Thanks for the advise.

Ich dachte einfach, ich wäre verrückt geworden, als ich sah, dass Ihr Zitat meines Beitrags auf Deutsch war, was mich glauben ließ, ich hätte meinen Beitrag auf Deutsch geschrieben. Etwas, obwohl ich immer noch Deutsch schreiben kann, hätte mir auffallen müssen.

 

Danke für den Rat.

 

I write my blog stories (the one for Skrim contains a solution to the quest series from this mofd) in my native German - but I have my posts here in the forum machine translated before I send them in.

Thanks - found the patch and your blog. Might come in handy. I updated my original post.

I haven't replayed the mod since the last big update and now playing it again on the recent one it keeps being stuck after a certain objective is finish and I have no idea why. After the objective has ended it doesn't start the next one or if at the end of the quest it doesn't end it. 

Edit: I played a downgraded version and I still have the same issue. I check if any mods were conflicting with it but nothing is conflicting.

Wee bit difficult to tell w/o knowing the objectives where it gets stuck.

What happens from time to time is that Laura and Kat are still talking, the quest officially moves to the finished state (sound and title) but isn't. Don't ever leave the shop until Laura says "Welcome" when you approach her. (okay, "how's the delivery going" is okay too, but you get the gist. "This person is busy" means 100% the quest isn't done yet.)

Sorry, it got stuck at the end of the Stone quest where you talk to kat and then it unequips all DD and she gives you your rewards, but to some luck after retrying many times it finally ended the quest after waiting a couple seconds. Now on the theif quest when I talk to Xayah it doesn't start the script where I am frozen in place and the AI takes control. Xayah still closes the door and just stands by the closet and I am able to move around freely like normal.

Are you using translations or AI voice mods?

Does this happen everytime?

Do you have all the correct versions installed?

 

Sorry for delay, had some time off gaming over chrissy.

 

No translation or AI voice mods that I know of, I have a devious lore voicepack installed

It happens every single time reliably

I have version 3.43 SSE and am running Skyrim Special Edition, all other quests to this point have run flawlessly

[Lady Wintrish]

Actually i never completed that beautiful questline cause at the last quest the headtracking of True Directional Movement stops working. It will never work again even you finish the quest. The other quests don't have this issue. Its just with the last one.

[Mamango]

Finished "Taking Control" quest, but now when i ask Laure "Is there something i can do for you" she says that im already doing something. Any way to fix it?

[Borisni]

I've just completed the main quest line on AE 1.6.640 without problems.

I loved it, it was full of unexpected twists, the characters were very interesting and the story was alluring.
Thank you for making this mod, and I hope that you'll make more stuff.

[Jasmine92]

I have problems with the "take control from player" scenes, where NPCs tell you to "com over here; follow me" etc. Every time such a scene starts, the moving is really slow, my character only moves 1 step every 20 seconds and often changes direction after each step. Is there a way to skip the "take away control" or just beam the player to the end location? Even crossing the room, after getting poisoned in Solitude took 10 rl minutes. Any suggestions?

Yes. There is a command to turn it off and restore your controls, but that might break the quest. I suppose you could try setting the player movement faster. Do you have a lot of followers blocking your path?

Made sure the followers where no where near, but even if a straight path is available, the player character gets confused. Maybe it doesn't like mods like true directional movement and the like? (I play the licentia wabbajack list btw.)

Possibly, there's a patch referred to in the text of that mod: "Nemesis patch", which sounds like it might be relevant, but I don't think TDM changes navmeshes or pathing for NPCs.

Every time I try to get Laura to remove my belt she tells me to come with her and then it just says "This person is busy" what could be wrong? Also, when try to complete the stone mission Kataina gives me my rewards but the mission never ends and I can't buy anything from Laura

[Dendriah]

i got stuck on taking control the quest completely broke on my save and didnt do anything the npcs didnt move and now no matter what with one of the other mods whenever i try again i get attacked and raped and then it breaks so

I'm stuck on quest "Taking control" after I got in Inn and talked with Only 1 dude that says "Girl and men left and dont know where" what should i do next? I just searched the Inn and town itself and i have no clue what I'm looking for. Any help please?

Ich stecke bei der Quest „Die Kontrolle übernehmen“ fest, nachdem ich im Inn angekommen bin und mit nur einem Typen gesprochen habe, der sagt: „Mädchen und Männer sind gegangen und wissen nicht wohin.“ Was soll ich als nächstes tun? Ich habe gerade das Gasthaus und die Stadt selbst durchsucht und habe keine Ahnung, wonach ich suche. Bitte helfen Sie mir?

 

 

[arthurioBoomer]

Just finished questline. It was pretty good experience overall but last quest "Taking control" was just a hell for me. Every moment when it was taking control from me my character was going in strange direction. She just made step by step journey on invicible quest marker. It would be realy good experience if i was just ordered to step somewhere and got my control all the time. Yeah probably it's problem with some other mods, which make such strange behavior. But idk it was really frustrating sometimes. 
Thanks Laura for some good story and cool DD shop.

Is there a mission guide or something, cause sometimes I don't know where to go, especially the "Taking control" mission.

[Miauzi]

Vor 3 Stunden sagte IWWccca:

Gibt es einen Missionsführer oder so etwas, denn manchmal weiß ich nicht, wohin ich gehen soll, insbesondere bei der Mission „Übernahme der Kontrolle“.

 

Mission leader?

Not exactly - but the quests from this mod take up quite a lot of space in my blog history.

 

The beginning of the main quest series begins with this chapter (the translation into English is included in a spoiler at the end of the chapter)

 

 

[Islandername]

Let me start by saying Thanks for this fantastic mod! 

I'm stuck on the "what she deserves" quest.    Which I have loved so far.    I just walked back to whiterun and they put me in the cell!   But now the quest seems stuck there.  Am I missing something?  I waited 48 hours in game and it doesn't seem to be progressing.

Is there a way to force the quest to go to the next step? 

Or reset it back to the beginning and free myself so I can try again?

I am using skyrim SE and the SE version of this mod, but I probably started the quest in LE so maybe that caused the bugs. 

I am using a few other mods as well - DCL would be the main one that might be affecting this. 

Edit: I was missing Fus Ro D'oh.  That fixed this.

If you mean the one I think, there's quite a long scene, do you have subtitles turned on?

[Miauzi]

Vor 2 Stunden sagte Islandername:

Lassen Sie mich zunächst Danke für diesen fantastischen Mod sagen!

Ich bleibe bei der Suche nach dem, was sie verdient. Was mir bisher sehr gut gefallen hat. Ich bin gerade zurück nach Whiterun gelaufen und sie haben mich in die Zelle gesteckt! Aber jetzt scheint die Suche dort festzustecken. Vermisse ich etwas? Ich habe 48 Stunden im Spiel gewartet und es scheint keine Fortschritte zu machen.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, die Quest zum nächsten Schritt zu zwingen?

Oder es auf den Anfang zurücksetzen und mich befreien, damit ich es noch einmal versuchen kann?

Ich verwende Skyrim SE und die SE-Version dieses Mods, aber ich habe die Quest wahrscheinlich in LE gestartet, also hat das vielleicht die Fehler verursacht.

Ich verwende auch ein paar andere Mods – DCL wäre der wichtigste, der dies beeinflussen könnte.

 

 

Especially this scene with the mistaken capture due to the mix-up... it reacts very sensitively to things that weren't installed properly.

Did you update Skyrim LE to the SE (or AE) version during the mission?

Seems very unlikely to me - but if you had a version change of the main game - a lot of things would NOT work - not just the quest from this mod.

There would be nothing that could be reset or "fixed" - the only thing that helps is starting a new game with a new character.

What would be conceivable - a user has already pointed this out - is the "silent" dialogue system.

Since the mod has no soundtrack - but the protagonists perform a "voiceless" dialogue - a small additional mod has to create the synchronization between mouth movement and the dialogue text.

And this mod must fit the current Sykrim version - you should definitely check here.

When you say you waited for 48 hours, did you actually wait, or did you use the wait function? I'm no expert but I believe using the wait function does not progress the quest if there is still dialogue happening. And like the others have mentioned, there is quite a bit of dialogue while you are in the cage. It's a lengthy wait. Don't rush it or try to skip over it. I've played through that scene multiple times and to amuse myself I try to struggle out of the bondage items, that way I can watch my very pretty behind moving around.  🙂
