Load the save file and try again. Tirwin should say something after opening the portal.
Or type 
setstage VAR_Castle 280

 

The “skip” options should only be available during the first meeting with Tirwin, but not at this point in the adventure.

 

Thanks.  I had already tried reloading a quicksave and that didn't work.  setstage VAR_Castle 280 didn't work either (it advanced but there was no portal to jump into), but then I tried sqs VAR_Castle, saw that I hadn't completed 260 or 270 either, and ran those.  Then it started working and seems to be progressing fine now.

Seems that the NPCs that give you the quest aren't spawning, likely a mod conflict on my part. Is there another way to start the quest?

Im having this same issue currently, I downloaded everything required and only have JK's Skyrim installed ;w; Im so stuck on what the issue is lol

Yeah, anything that changes the bannered mare interiors prevents npcs from spawning. Unistall those then it should work fine, it did for me.

I disabled the mod plus a couple others just in case and they still aren’t there, I tried to do the “set stage” command too but it said that it wasn’t found. I’m not sure what mod is conflicting with it because i have nothing that alters the interior and the required files are higher in my load order

Do you have latest AR version?

 

setstage not set stage

So correct command is setstage VAR_MainQuest xx

 

xx is number stage.

Yes i downloaded the May 2nd version 055 and ran FNIS to update before attempting to enter the bannered mare. And i used that exact console command and it says it cannot be found. Not sure what went wrong with how I downloaded it, i have all the required mods above it in my load order

help tirwin

This was the issue, it was enabled in my mod organiser but not in the game itself. Had to go into creations and enable it from there for some reason lol. Thank you for the help! 😆

I use JK's Bannered Mare, I've over a dozen mods including Immersive wenches, cutting room floor, AR, SLSFC, Sexy Bandit Captives, other sex mods, a couple follower mods, jk patches for bathing, etc... touching the Bannered Mare and have no issues. 

 

AR adds a few npcs a triggered area marker and not much more  it's supper clean - mods like it should have little issue in the Bannered Mare (the only thing could go wrong is if it placed an object on top of something in the way). SSeEdit and the load order will tell you what's wrong. I know AR sits lower in my order than JK's. I keep AR very low - it's at 1E atm and I do that because of scripts. The lower a script based mod is the better the scripts seem to perform due priorities and fighting with other scripts.
