Thank you for your feedback!

 

Also please don't forget to add normal and concentrated goo to the chest, it's vital for the research.

If you still stuck even with having plenty of idle days in the log, a lot of gold and both types of goo in chest and not having a bit more precise hints in the log - please give me results of console command sqv US_GooResearch_Quest.

It said first it needed black goo, and I added 50 to the chest.

 

Then it said it needed concentrated goo and also added 50 to the chest.

 

Now it says need more time and gold, several days have passed and put 25000 gold in it.

 

I have gotten the alchemy, enchanting and book quest done too.

 

Would I need to add more goo then, despite it not mentioning it anymore?

 

I can just do some quests meanwhile, see if it changes after some more time has passed and add more gold, but if I see no changes after that I'll try the console command.

[kurotatsu]

Don't be greedy, put all the goo you have in the chest, it's used for all the research, as well as research points (these come with time) and gold. Some research also require additional materials, you'll get hints about them. Gold and 2 goo types are by default, needed all of them. To see if you have spare research points - see n day(s) idle in the report when you read it. If it's non-zero - you have some to spare.

[Nalessa]

Just for testing, I added 10000 of black goo and concentrated goo and a million gold and 2 random dragon nuts I found on a dragon that attacked when walking over to the house lol, waited a couple days, still says needs more time and gold with 0 days idle.

 

Used the console command this time

Have you spent some more ingame days waiting? I'm asking because 0 time idle means you have zero research points, which are generated by ingame time.

If you waited but still it's at zero - means you have some mod that messes up the ingame timer used to calculate this. Same problem would arise with Urag too, he has his gold income counted similar way.

As far as I know I don't have any mod that affects ingame time, it progress normally.

 

Urag seems to work fine, every day I can go to him for more testing and he'll give a new test and gold.

I'm sorry, but I'm at my wits end here, and can't advise you how to fix it. The problem is obviously you not getting the research points, which are staying at zero. All of that logic is in script tied to the logbook.

Hmnn, I did read in this thread that the chest identifies all alchemical effects, but since I ate both while having the alchemy perk that reveals everything before getting to this part of the quest, could that be the problem, as there is nothing more to discover for the npc?

Not a problem, it's all handled in the script. Problem is that somehow research points timer is not updating in your game, thus you are not getting them. Probably can purloin some via pqv console commands, but I'm unsure it will work for the item script and not the quest one.

Given enough time and money it identifies all effect on anything you put inside, but you need one ingredient for one identified effect, so 4 in total. You can have that insufferable high-elven cunt identify stuff in bulk if you dump your entire inventory inside the chest, go to a tavern and sleep through the night. Useful if you use vanilla alchemy tree, less so with something like Ordinator, since you only need two perks and alchemy 30 to be able to identify all effects yourself. Still you can save one perk point if you're short (and you will be with something like Vokriinator Black).

 

Never tested it with CACO though. It will probably still work, since I once tossed custom ingredients from Skyrim Underground inside and it was fine.

Abadon Scout Harness seems to have no body reference. Equipping all variants of it causes the entire torso to become invisible.

It's UD issue, known - https://github.com/IHateMyKite/UnforgivingDevices/issues/268

If that's just missing records, I can probably fix it on my end. Haven't looked at it in xEdit yet. Yes, I was playing wood elf at the time. Thanks for pointing out the solution. Got back to Skyrim after a few months break on a new machine and I feel a bit rusty.

So, my save got irremediably fucked and i had to start a new game, no big deal, happen sometimes. What i don't really want to do is to be hit by the abadon shout 12 times in a row again to learn it by the draugr because i find it tedious (being a dom myself, i only intend to use it on other women in the game, not myself), so is there an actual way to unlock the shout via console command? I tried the "player.addshout" followed by the id of the abadon shout, it work, but it's obviously not unlocked. So then i tried to do "player.unlockword" followed by the id of the first word... and "error, wrong paramter for word of power 'ID' is not a word of power." So, yeah... apparently the game do not recognize the abadon shout as a shout, and i don't really want to do the thing with the draugr shouting at me (i've done it plenty of times on other saves, i just want it to be done now)

 

Any help?

Player.additem xx246633

where xx is US mod ID in the load order. You'll need to have dragon souls. I intend to add ability to get the book through play later.

Thank you very much kind sir!

[Icetoseeyouu]

Well i spoke too soon, it say that 49246633 is not found for ParameterObjectID. Well too bad. (And yes i checked, 49 is the mod order for UnforgivingSkyrim). But then again i have another mod that give me access to any objects a mod add, and for UnforgivingSkyrim, i see no object that can teach the spell so maybe i don't have a version that implement it yet.

Done. Quick and easy fix with QuickChange script for bulk editing. The script works fine in SE and AE versions of xEdit. Thanks again @kurotatsu for the pointer, I would've never thought to look under that specific record and would probably wasted 2 days in NifScope trying to figure out it if there was something wrong with the mesh file.

I didn't even know there was a github of this, but after searching i found this page GitHub - kurotatsu77/UnforgivingSkyrim: Extension to Unforgiving Devices mod by iHateMyKite · GitHub and downloaded the mod from there, but then again, still no luck about the additem, still say that parameter for ObjectId doesn't exist.

[Icetoseeyouu]

Scratch that, i found the ESP on the main, and understood that i had to download as zip to get it to work. I'm not used to github sorry... but now it work!
