I haven't seen any npc nearby. The first time I arrived there was by fast traveling to a dungeon nearby and walking to the portal stone, no hunter/npc on sight. After I "talk" to it and goes to Whiterun mage, I fast travel back to the portal stone but still no sight of anyone... Do I need to start over? Did I miss some other part? Yoanas helper (forgot his name...) has left the store, and when I try to fast travel to him via console command, I go to an empty chair in Falkreath inn....

It's been quite a long time so I can't really tell you exactly whether you are "safe" or not. Unfortunately I only vaguely remember what I'd mentioned in the earlier post. Just something about having been approached by some NPCs I'd missed earlier due to fast travelling instead of "walking" over from Falkreath

I've tried a lot of things, but nothing seems to work. I started a new save — same problem. I tried advancing with console commands — still nothing. I've reinstalled the game multiple times, but to no avail.
My version is 0.3. Is there a more recent one I might have missed? Also, the "fast forward" prompt has never appeared for me at any point (and yes, it's enabled in the menu).

If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't already, use xedit to have a look and see if something is overwriting the mod.  I think the npc's are mostly mod added, so there shouldn't be conflict there but maybe some other mod changes the area around the portal?.

I'm just starting with this mod and i don't know why, but every time in the first quest at the final point where the alchemy get your payment for the bottle of the semen fo the dog, my game CTD and that's it, don't knopw what it could be but someone who knows, maybe it's a old bug since this is a convertion from the LE, and for the little i know these mod have some time since released, or maybe just i'm noob, so someone know what must id o here

Thxs for the tip, I didn't know about XEdit... Not sure if I used it correctly, but I solved all the conflicts. Unfortunately, the problem remains. Some of the conflicts were caused by an "update" (that is the name of the 'mod')... Maybe it's because my Skyrim version is the newest one? (That one Bethesda launched last year that caused a lot of conflicts with existing mods)

Any Fix for an invisible "Escaped Horse"?

On 5/4/2025 at 9:18 PM, Dr. Mordecai said:

I'm having trouble with the quest Lusty Nord Hunter and need help. I've looked around the forum, reinstalled the mod, and even started a new game, but the problem persists.
 

At the end of the quest, when I activate the portal stone, I'm transported to a place where nothing happens. I assumed Yoana's sister would appear, but nobody shows up. The door is locked and can't be picked. Furthermore, the portal stone inside the cell does nothing either. I have to reload to continue playing the save, but there is no new dialogue with Yoana.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Has anyone been having the same problem?

still in need of help... I tried using the "edit thing" but still nothing happens at Idun's lair... If anyone could bring some light to this trouble I would be very grateful...

Idun does not walk very fast, I just barely saw her in the fog so I waited. 

 

 

My problem is the Quest Lusty Nord Hunter doesn't complete after teleporting to Idun's or once I teleport out. I also do not get a dialog option to give Yoana the letter. Do I have to give that weirdo at the stone something to do, to actually trigger things? I just thought the options were pointless and left him without telling him to do anything.

Your game seems to be less broken than mine… Idun doesn’t even show up in the fog for me, and I can’t teleport back. I just get stuck in the cell and can’t move forward or back. I’ve also never seen anyone near the portal stone in any of my playthroughs. And I’ve never heard about a letter to Yona in-game (I saw something about it while trying to fix the mod, but no luck so far).

Hi. I have a small problem: I don't understand how to collect sperm in bottles. I'm doing Rilfin's quest, mated with the wolves, but now I don't know how to transfer the sperm into the bottle. Can anyone please help?

[JeckKarver]

I also forgot to add that I had empty bottles in my inventory when I went to mate with the wolves.

You don’t use empty bottles. Yoana gives you the bottle, and it is automatically filled after the sex scene.

if anyone is having the same trouble, I managed to fix (I guess it is a fix...)
I uninstalled the game, deleted all mods and started over but this time i downgraded the game to version 1.5.97 first. I don't know if it was another mod or what, but Idun showed up this time.

Any news of when "Essential Relief" will be released for SkyrimSE?

 

Thankyou

Seems like Merope is retired. I wonder if people wanted to make a team to finish Bestial Essence instead

Is this mod able to be added mid game or requires new game?

Should be safe to add to new game, AFAIK it doesn't depend on anything that triggers on a new game. You'll get a letter by courier, then go to the newly added shack in Falkreath area

I know this is an old topic, but did you find a solution? I'm having the exact same problem.

In your case from your crash log, the only implication I can make of it is that it involves "Radulf Early-Beard", and maybe something to do with SPID affecting NPCs such as himself.

Does Radulf exist in the store BEFORE that point? 
Could it be he spawns after that instance and the crash happens as he does?

If he's newly spawning, perhaps you can try `enable` or `player.placeatme` -- or use a mod like Modex -- to test spawning him early on & somewhere else. That would help you identify if it's a problem with Radulf or the quest itself.

For the record, I'm on Skyrim SE/AE 1.6.1170 (latest version) and had no crashes playing past that point with this mod

I'm sure the problem is related to him. I've played this mod before and never had any issues; the cause is probably some incompatible mod.

 

I tried uninstalling SPID and deleting all of its .ini files, but the CTD persists. (I also cleaned up my save file with Resaver)

 

This happens in the first mission, "The New Girl," when trying to give Yoana the vial of dog milk. Randulf is right there, close to us.

I've also tried "disable" and "enable" but sometimes it crashes I use the "enable" command. I tried commands like "recycleactor" (which caused the CTD instantly) and even removing all items with "removeallitems" but it didn't fix the problem.

If you are very sure you're at the right location in Falkreath (also you should get a letter from courier the next time he finds you), then all I can suggest is that the plugin ESP/ESM for this mod has not been activated.

anyway to force the courier to delivery the note? or get it by console command? I found the yoanna house but its require the key to open. obviously its mean the quest is not activated

I don't know about forcing courier, you can find an answer easily enough on Google I reckon. You can force start quests with `startquest` command, but I don't know the quest ID for the first main quest either. 

There might be scripts that trigger when you receive the letter from courier, I suggest going through the courier route for assured functionality.
