In Dawnstar, the innkeeper should be Thoring, but if it is Karita instead, the quest may not trigger. Also, make sure Thoring is alive; if not, resurrect him using the command BEFORE starting the quest.

It was on a new save. Both alive, Thoring behind the bar with the usual innkeeper dialogs and karita is near a bunch of npcs listening the vanila dawnstar quest start. So nothing unusual here. Btw i played a bit then i skipped basically everything from the horse and started after the dremora party. Maybe it ruined the flags and npcs on my save?

Yea it's supposed to be blurry. It's the effect of the mind controll spell he cast on you. It will fade after the scenes with harkon ends.

I need more information. What were you doing before this message appeared? From the screenshot, which is cut off, I can see that you were outside.

Is it possible that the Vanillia mod blocked this quest? Hmm, use `setstage VAR_Dremora 40` to skip the dialogue at the inn, but you probably won't have the “Otto” NPC properly enabled.

 

Before you use first commando use this what i wrote bvellow

我需要更多信息。这条消息出现前你在做什么？从截图（被截断）来看，我能看到你当时在外面。

I had already finished the quest involving Harkon at that time, but the cutscene didn’t trigger during *The Dark Lord* quest, so I used the console to skip it. This prompt appeared on the way to Whiterun during the *Baring It All* quest. Also, after the *Castle Volkihar* quest, Tirwin’s dialogue with other NPCs would disappear, only to suddenly show up again in a later quest.

Oh you use base id and to enable him you need refid which is usually slightly different. Use id 8139a425

1. You can't enable a form only a reference so do not use a form ID.
2. Enable, Disable, Moveto are what are known ad targeted commands the syntax is <target>.<command> <Parameter if any>
3. I see your mod index is 81 - is rather far down the load (some people have experienced trouble with scripts when not loaded earlier but I never could figure out why)

So try this 

~

8139A425.Enable

 

Or

 

~

Prid 8139A425

Enable

 

If you do use Prid make sure not to click the mouse anywhere else on screen before using a target command - doing so it will change the target.

 

I do prefer the PRID command because as long as you do not change the target other target commands will hit that ref id and you do not have to keep typing in the target then.

i.e.

 

Prid 8139A425

Enable

MoveTo player

 

I double-checked the NPC's ref id tp make sure.  You can see it in the righthand corner of this dialog box. the 07  is just the index where CK loaded it... normally with all my load AR is at index 1F. Base Object is Form ID.

My mistake—I forgot to include the PRID and ID number there, but Eflat01 has already provided the correct commands.

So the scene froze, but then unfroze on its own later on. This issue should resolve itself after a few minutes, but it will likely be necessary to clear it using a command that I don't know.

I tried to make a lullaby that Tirwin's mother might have sung to her as an infant (assuming she was a loving and doting mother).  I tried to make Tirwin sing it herself but I suppose she never took singing lessons...  Anyways, its still kinda nice.

There's a slight robotic tone to it, but in practice, you can't really hear it.

I was thinking and this dremora quest is the gangbang party right? But i have already skipped everything with dialog including this one. I still had 2 questlines: one with the werewolf then black briar which then lead to the broken dremora and the other branch is the tentacle monsters (i think that is the latest update which i could finish with zero problem and got the popup that this is the current ending of the mod).

 

So i think all of my problems come from that this quest is already finished because of the skip feature. Thx for the helps btw.

Interesting, I've Serana so decked out she'll hum or sings tunes arbitrarily, i.e. while we're walking down the road or just chillin' at home. Then again she seldom shuts up... typical woman I suppose. 

 

Personally if used I would think unaccompanied vocal would fit best, though it does sound like it could be  a bit less processed sounding. The issue with a lot of ai generated tracks are they're auto-tuned and pitch corrected too perfectly, which make them sound unnatural.

 

I'm old, I guess some would think I'm a bit too critical even a snobby musician but I prefer and am so use to analog that more digital tones grate me because they wash out vibrato, micro-tones and harmonics. I still prefer tube amps and stomp-boxes instead of a processer board in my rig, the only digital boxes I use is a Delay and A Ce chorus.

The issue I'm having is that I can't generate these music files without sound effects and reverb so isolating them to apply a voice filter over them becomes robotic and choppy.  On the other hand, if I sing it myself, then it sounds very natural yet also very horrible as I can't sing.  I've already tried multiple times and my output is even more ear bleed.

 

At any rate, there's no call to use any of these.  I'm just making them for fun and to improve my skills at them.  Then, if Tirwin's quest is completed and she becomes a super follower, hopefully I'll be able to provide songs that sound more natural should we want to implement them.

 

Out of curiosity, are you a musician?  Would you be interested in sending me a Animal Research - ish song a capella?  I'm curious how believable I could make Tirwin sing if I had actual in tune vocals.

An NPC named “Nyssia” should appear near the hollow tree trunk/felled tree.

Huh? There definitely shouldn’t be an Onmud in Fort Snowhawk. They suggest entering the command

prid 0001C1A2
moveto player

before speaking to Nirya. Then, speak to Nirya, and if he appears, move him to your room so you can continue.

Hello,

 

So I did tried what you recommended, but the only thing Onmund says "I want to leave this place"

Strange so try this 

 

setstage VAR_CollegeQuest 460 - this stage start Tirwin threesome

setstage VAR_CollegeQuest 470 - this stage start Tirwin foursome

setstage VAR_CollegeQuest 480

or 

setstage VAR_CollegeQuest 490

but I'm not sure if Forcegreet will work in that case after sex

There should be an NPC in front of the building, H name is Khorst. If he’s not there, I recommend loading a save file and skipping the dialogue. Alternatively, enable him.

 

(xx) is the load index of Animal Research.

 

before you reach building

Open console

PRID xx39A41B

enable

If he still not there or dead use
 

Disable

Resurrect

Thanks, but another method helped: skipping two stages of the quest, and then talking to the alchemist.

I've played through the entire mod, you're incredible: there's not a CDT with the mod.
The mod itself is well-structured: you can play as a man or a woman without any special settings.
And the companion is simply incredible. This is my first companion in Skyim in eight years. I usually go solo.
P.S. 
A synergy with the old "Sister of Dibella" mod was discovered. The reason was Sanguine's party.
