How can I start this story line? I got all licenses include Riften's but I don't know what to do next. I try to speak with the hostess of Dibella Garden but there's nothing. Do I have to do something else to start this story line?

 

The story quests start after you earn 3000 gold working for Dibella's Garden and return to the Whiterun brothel. But as others have already said the full quest line is not done yet. Right now only the quest One Bad Apple is done.

I seem to have trouble with becoming a sister of dibella.. i freed the sybill and all that happens now is the temple has a ritual that blinds me and i have to load a recent save to avoid it.

 

Do you have anything that might mess with imagespace modifiers like an ENB? The white light should only last a few seconds at the beginning and less than a second at the end.

yes.. i do.  Do i need to be there to witness what's going on though?  They've been at this for 20+ ingame days and I would hang around for a few hours to see if i need to be there and they don't stop.  I can hear them doing the thing so I know they are still trying.. perhaps something is stuck?

FYI i just bypassed it with setstage TAPTemple01 300.  But finding out why it got stuck would be nice.  Also i still get blinded when i go in the temple.  Perhaps there is a guide.. maybe it was normal for it to not do anything but that ritual for 20+ingame days ?

Try turning off the ENB for that scene and see what happens. It is absolutely not normal for them to get stuck, but if you can't even see what's happening then it will be very difficult to figure out what's going on. The scene is short. It should run for a minute or two at most, after you approach the sisters and they start talking.

 

I think you can leave after the scene starts, and it will proceed without you, but it is your arrival in the temple that makes the scene start. So you shouldn't need to watch it, but that won't help you if the white screen isn't turning off like it's supposed to.

 

The name of the quest that runs the scene is TAPQFjotraGoAway.

That's currently set to 1.. what stage can i change it to to make it pass if the ENB doesn't work

You can try setting the stage to 200 before you go into the temple. I don't know if that will work, though. It should skip the scene, but I can't remember if it will skip anything else important.

 

Also, stage 200 plays a very quick white flash, too, so if you're having problems with those effects it may not help you anyway.

I've done it and i was able to resume the questline after the fact since I manually started temple02.. now everything is flowing on it's own

I do still have problems with some of our scenes where I have to watch people talk and they won't, I can't leave or move and if I interact they just say they're busy

What scenes are you having a problem with? A stuck scene will usually be because they can't get to where they are supposed to.

Hello there, 
suddenly I have a white screen when entering Temple of Dibella. If I disable TAP everything's fine, so the problem has sth to do with this mod. Can someone please help me, what I could do or where I have to look for finding the solution? Currently I use 532 Mods, based on Immersive & Adult Collection. 

(If I go out from the Temple again, also there everything is white.)

Thanks in advance!

You’ll need to ask wherever you got that collection.

Wow, I admit that the collection is quite good, but I don't see anything there that could spoil TAP ;/

I'm doing a test run after having installed a list including LL mods.  Where would I find the brothel in Whiterun?

Out of Whiterun, near the Battle-Born farm.

Whatever my modlist is i have the same issue:

Spoiler

Quest: Where Spirits Have Sex (tapqmorthalghots, id 4a12c46e)

Context: I have to summon the argonian when he appears to have sex with him. He appears, i summon him and fail. Ask Fallion for another scroll and try again to summon the argonian with another failed result and so on.

 

Looks like the stage id stucks at 600.

I'd tried to reset (stage 100 for example) but if the stage value is under 600, "setstage" isn't applied ("getstage" confirm the value is still at 600).

I'd tried to change the stage (stage 800 or more) where "getstage" confirm the new value is applied but the quest stays at the same step ("have sex with the argonian ghost" not completed).

 

Any advice, idea, solution, etc?

Yes, I also like it very much.
 

I just saw, I forget sth to mention, maybe it's important:

I was able to walk into the Temple some times and then in the Sibyl-Quest I brought the girl to the Temple and after that this happend. Maybe it has sth to do with this, maybe not.

The white flash is part of the non-journal quest TAPQFjotraGoAway, so it's definitely related to the Sibyl. I will have to see if I can make this happen on my computer, because you're the second person to report it. In the meantime, scroll up a little and see if the solutions talked about there work for you.

I think this person was not waiting until the sex scene with the Argonian was completed. If you are trying to cast the spell as soon as he appears, it will not work, because the SexLab scene is actually started immediately. It's just that there is a slight delay between when the scripts tell the scene to start and when the animations actually start.

Hi ruddycray and thank you for your explanation.

So to be sure i understand what you mean: i must wait both ghosts have sex. Once it's finished i cast the spell.

 

If it's the solution, be aware your text coming with the stage says the opposite for me (*) : " (...) i must use it while the female ghost is present in the marsh and is not already going at it (...) " which i understand as "cast before both have sex".

 

(*) I speak a poor English which can explain my ununderstanding.

 

------------ edited and updated ----------------

OK, i confirm the need both ghosts had to have sex and to cast very very very quickly the spell to the argonian before he disappears (and he disappears very very very quickly). Then, the dialog between the woman and i is strange because she says i have sex with him (which not) and it helped her to remember.

Anyway, i can continue the quest, so: resolved.

The text is actually "when the female ghost is around, but not when the two ghosts are...together". I agree it could be clearer, though.

 

You do not have to do it before the Argonian disappears, and in fact it might fail to work in that case. You should use the scroll when only the woman is standing there.

 

The Argonian will reappear when the scroll is used correctly.

[Delzaron]

testing some partsof the mod time to time, and I amazed how it's huge and well made !

Congratulations.

Weird because i'm using the latest update and the sentence isn't the same; my game pc is off, so i'll look at the sentence i have tomorrow French day time and report it to you 

 

----- Edited -----

Here is the text: "The wizard Falion believes that I can establish a connection to the ghosts in the marsh if I have sex with the male ghost. He has given me a scroll that I can use to summon and seduce the Argonian, I must use it while the female ghost is present in the marsh and is not already going at it with the male ghost.".

In bold are the sentences that made me think that I had to have sex with him before he could have sex with her.

I am having troubles with the dawnstar prostitution license quest. I cant figure out who to talk to to progress it. I talked to nearly everyone in town like 6 times.

Fathest I have gotten is telling Jod that I think Marcus did it but I have no proof.

You can turn on spoiler quest markers to point you right to the answer. Or...

Talk to the beggar, Jagar. He saw something.
