Yes, from the thread in DBF signature

 

Did you add the mod mid game?

Hm, yeah I might have. It was a pretty new save and I hadn't actually done anything yet. Will try with a new one

I can't get the quest to start on SE. The Traveling Sisters and Senna have the Beauty dialogues and all, but no quests. I can see all the modifications to the Temple as well as find clovers around. I've loaded it pretty late, so I don't think anything is overriding it. Does anyone know what could cause this?

 

You don't see any new topic? like 'can you make me beautiful' when you talk to Senna or other sisters?

Because things get baked into a new game, there is no such thing as a new save. You'll find lots folks swearing that's wrong, but that's how the Skyrim engine works.

I can see this one, and the one you donate 50 gold.

Yep, new game fixed it. Even saves from before leaving the Alternate Start cell didn't work. That means tomorrow I'll spend an hour setting things up in the MCM lol

Sometimes I just push my luck and mods work mid save, but I know it's my fault when they break. Thanks, though

I started a new game with the 11/30 SE version tonight and experienced no CTD in the Markarth temple. I looked directly at each one of the statues. No CTD.

Glad to hear it worked!

Sevenbase support for this mod would be SUPER ORSUM!!!

 

THANKS!

You know it's a good mod if you find yourself wanting a sequel.

I have a question about the SE version. New game, and I still observe that before doing the quests and rescuing the Sybil:

 

* Senna wears the pure clothing.

* If you sneak into the inner sanctum, all the sisters already wear the corrupted clothing.

 

I have both the Sisterhood SE and Sisterhood Sisters SE mods installed. 

 

According to the description:

 

Quote

- DibellaSisterhoodSisters<xxx>.7z is an optional addon if you want to see the sisters wear different custom outfits depending on their level of corruption or purity. If you don't care about their looks, you can ignore it.

 

If that's the case, shouldn't they all wear the pure clothing before taking any quest actions? Starting from a new game each time, I've tried different variations of starting the quests:

 

* Starting off with the "Joining the Sisterhood" quest and being prompted to enter the  Inner Sanctum.

* Sneaking into the Inner Sanctum first and doing the vanilla rescue the Sybil quest.

 

In either case, the sisters start off wearing corrupted clothing. Is this by design? If not, did I do something wrong on my end? Does something in the mod need to be massaged? 

 

On a related note -- i.e., clothing -- I notice that whether I or any NPC wears the travelling sister hood, the face gets replaced with the same vanilla-style face. Often making the wearer unrecognizable. If that's a limitation of the clothing item (i.e., you need to insert some static face or the face becomes blue or invisible) maybe you could replace the face with a mask? Just an idea.

It is by design... corruption is already under way when you arrive at the temple.

 

I never noticed that with the travelling sister hood. That should not be happening... it is a plain old hood with a different texture.

As far as the hood is concerned, maybe it's because you're using LE? (I'm inferring, based on earlier statements.) 

 

I'm using SE and have CBBE 3BA installed. I do have Bijin and Pandorable installed, but I noticed that face issue on Hamal, my own character, and even vanilla NPCs. Maybe it's an SE and/or CBBE 3BA thing?

Different question. At what point do I get a key to the donation chest in the top floor of the Markarth temple? Not that I'm hurting for gold, but I've been curious what's actually in it. I've finished all the quests and even made 5 rounds of 10 donations each, and still haven't received a key.

Just random stuff... nothing exotic,

I like to use it as my personal donation box (lore-friendly way to ditch acquired valuables in there to maintain game balance).

 

Which would make it somewhat part of a feature request list:

• Very similar to the existing donations: added radiant quest option to make your own personal donation to the temple. Either in that donation box or into a similar container
  • get request from Hamal/Senna
  • randomized: acquire  <amount> of <item> or  items of <value>
  • dump it in there
  • done
  • return to Hamal/Senna to get the next request

Food, clothing or stuff to repair things should always be plausible. Depending on the players path, other stuff might be interesting, too.

<Value> is just my idea to ditch random loot of <value>  in there.

You should get access to it after you retrieve the letters from the two missing sisters.

I did that and never got the key.

Ok. I will check the conditions again.

I wonder if it's because, as I've mentioned before, the dead sisters have two copies of their notes.

[Naps-On-Dirt]

Have you tried opening it?  The chest will say "requires key to unlock" even if you have the key.  Also, the two dead sisters have always had 2 copies of their notes, no idea why, but it has always been like that but doesn't affect anything.

I tried. It won't open.

Good call.. and thanks for pointing that out.

 

I checked the mod and the key used for the donation box is the default MarkarthDibellaInnerSanctumKey that Senna gives you to go down and meet Hamal and the other sisters the first time.

 

I edited the scripts to:

 

- give you a copy of the key when you before a Traveling Sister yourself after finding both letters and reporting back to Senna

- add a dialogue to Senna to give you a copy of the key if you lose it (similar to giving you a copy of the donation bag). That dialogue only appears once you are a Traveling Sister and if you don't have that key already in your inventory.

 

Both edits will be available in the next update at the end of the month (and on Github shortly).

I was given the key for the inner sanctum, but it didn't work on that chest.

Strange... maybe I need to create my own key then.
