Is the hotfix file the entire mod? I have no mcm in my game and many items are missing textures.

No. Hotfixes are never the full mod. They are edited files you apply over the main install.

Ok, so I will install it together with 3.0.0 . Nexus says that 3.0.0 is completly redundant.

Ok that's very weird, because the hotfix just contains the .esp file, since that's the only thing I edited in the 3.0.1 update. You still need the main file for all the scripts, meshes, and textures.

Soo, came across some more things to report, and stuff...

 

Even with starting a new game, the Cursed Loot dialogue isn't suppressed on my end. Taki17 suggested just the thing you did, so that's a bit weird. Is anyone else using Cursed Loot alongsinde Devious Lore? What are your experinces?

 

A small bug:

the purified panel gag doesn't act as a panel gag - when I remove the plug, I should be able to drink potions, but they're still disabled.

 

I still cannot train with Hjorni the distracted, there is no dialogue (same with Mirtienne the mixblood)

Hjorni's first quest always points to Dustman's Cairn (in five reloads and even a new game) - is that on purpose or just a streak of bad luck on my end?

Try searching for Hjorni in a different hold than Whiterun. The dungeons chosen are hold based.

Since you haven't completed a quest for them yet you won't get the training dialogue yet.

Are you using the KS Hairdo patch? And if so did you install the new version I uploaded along with the hotfix?

Ah, good to know!

But I did, even joined the bloody Companions for that!

Yes to both.

Ok, then you should open up your load order with xEdit to see if any other mods or patches overwrote the npcs and somehow removed the faction from them.

Ok I thought you meant you kept abandoning the quest each time. At any rate to unlock training you need to be bound by restraints by activating the item you retrieve during the quest. Did you do that?

Did you find any other stuff than smuggled packages? As far as I understand the first page of this mod, the Lore Mongers only start to appear after you've found one of their respective packages and got tied up.

[Drifter442]

I only found packages related to thalia's quest

The pony "Train your crafting skills" doesn't work. I got 5 skill increases by now and the quest log is still at 0/3.

I can confirm that increasing a skill with training is wonky. I trained destruction magic five times in a row - the mod only recognised one. When I quit the dialogue after every single lesson, that worked.

Ah, so that was it - I brought her the urn still intact. With a new char opeining the quest-retrieved urn unlocked the opportunity to train with Hjorni. As the other four that worked (Laekette, Llathesi, El(l)arie, Thelia) didn't request me opening the retrieved package, it didn't occur to me that you need to do that with Hjorni (and I assume with Mirtienne, too)

Of course - just to be clear because of language barrier - I had to open a found item to be able to meet the respective lore monger.

I am stuck with a "Return to mistress Elarie" quest. I brought her the first package back but the quest is still active. I can't even find her. No questmarker on the map and when I spawn her she has no dialogue.

I have a problem:

I tried to download the version 3.0.0, but when I wanted to put it in the Mod Organizer, I get this error message: "skyrim devious lore none of the available installer plugins were able to handle that archive". 

Any idea, what I can change?

I found a solution from another mods forum I'm not sure how do I post it so it is proper and give the credit to him so here is the picture of his comment. It worked for me.

Is there a bodyslide setting for Hjorni??  Would love to have more of that body running around.

There isn't a bodyslide preset but there is a bodygen file that will let you make a preset. If you open the mod archive and go to

 

Meshes\Actors\Character\BodyGenData\Devious Lore.esp\templates.ini

 

You'll see the bodygen templates used for the lore mongers. Hjorni uses the Thick10 template.

I found a smuggled package that is wrapped in a snow bear pelt. I can't open it or bring it back to the shop. Any idea what it may be?

I believe this is quest-only item, when you go to training quests for the Loremongers, in this case - stable girl.

Yeah, I had the same. Training Quest (to retrieve the package) was over but it stayed in my inventory. I just put it in her nightstand.

[xyzxyz]

The location markers for the "find the odd looking people" radiant quest are all over the place. The last example was the mage apparently in the riverwood trader but she is not there or anywhere else in riverwood.

Can someone give me her ref ID so I can teleport her to me?
