How do I get this mod to work with the latest AE version? Neither Fuz Ro D'oh, MfgFix, Face Discoloration Fix, RaceMenu or Schlongs of Skyrim work.

Do I have to get an older version of Skyrim for it to work?

It was barely working on the previous AE with the update few days ago most mods will not be working at all as all of them have to be updated. That said the Thief is made for LE and SE so version 1.5.97 and lower. Anything above is not officially supported and for some people it might work and not for others.

After leaving the Skunkway I'm told by a guard to talk to Vala as soon as possible but when I go to her office the door is locked and it requires a key to open. Her office was open before I did all the Skunkway stuff so I'm confused on why I can't get in now. Is anyone able to help me fix this?

I have run into an issue where liorel keeps on practicing after pc sits on the chair, there is no way to end the scene from that point on, waited 10mins and over but he keeps on going XD. There are other options of flowers so I will try that next, but idk if this is my LO specific issue or something

 

My game version is 1170

Probably some script didnt fire. Try to disable or unlock the door with console and walk in. If scene wont start disable/enable Vala.

1170 is the newest from few days ago? So most likely FuzRoDah is not updated or any of other script related mods is not updated. Thief is made for LE and SE so version 1.5.97 and lower. The AE so most likely your version has mixed reviews for some people it works while for others it won't even launch depending on their mods. Try to disable/enable Liorel and if that won't help then most likely you won't be able to continue. And if it works similar thing might happen again more or less often

No its not the newest version from few days ago, 1170 has been the main stay for quite some time for well over a year now. I bypassed that scene by giving Liorel the flowers instead, still reported here so that others if facing the same issue may find it helpful. I am now stuck in the tavern scene where the old man trips us and shouts but then my character just stands there and does nothing. I will try a few times more before giving up, as there is no way to go around this except for console command maybe.

I'm currently facing a couple major issues at the very end of the questline.

 

1. The bench memory in Riften softlocks during the fade out after the scene, the heroine comments about how the thief's story was true but then it never fades back to current time. I tried disabling fading so I can see the thief getting disabled as expected when reaching the bridge, but my character never gets up/wakes up afterwards.

That means I can't proceed to the second memory in the canals to unlock the Largashbur cave objective. And just using setstage doesn't allow me to interact with the branches to open up the cave entrance.

 

2. When I return to the Whiterun Bannered Mare and talk to Hulda about the old man, she says he's been waiting for me and she's willing to pay 100 septims, yadda yadda. But when I walk up and get close to his area (regardless of elevation), he says something like "you shouldn't have made a fool out of me" and it forces me in a bad ending with the thief escaping, despite having completed this section dozens of hours before.

For some reason it thankfully doesn't seem to fail the Thief questline there, but I can't interact with the old man afterwards. I tried disabling him and toggling his AI off, but it doesn't help, the scene still starts playing only without his opening dialog. I presume he's supposed to be replaced by another Old Man ref when you return to the inn with his new scripts?

 

Any help with console commands that could help my case? Anything to fix or skip the memory sequence, and to prevent the old man from starting the bad ending scene and allow me to engage with the promise scene.

Hello, am not sure if i can still get support here but i am having trouble during the Phantom Quest After i have captured her and taken her to Zoe, when i decide to take her to the jail i get unequipped from everything i have and the screen goes black and i lose control to even open the menu, settings or mcm. 

 

I disabled the Fade option in Thief's MCM, this time the screen doesn't go black but i find myself in the same situation, undressed from everything, having cuffs in both my hand and legs, am inside the same cell the Phantom is abducted in and a guard is inside doing nothing just standing there. 

 

No one is talking, no is doing any action, nothing at all. 

 

Captain Metellus sometimes just walks inside the jaildoor without opening it and is always Busy can't talk or interact with him, any help please or console to bypass this quest ?

В самом конце цепочки заданий я столкнулся с несколькими серьезными проблемами.

 

1. Память на скамейке в Рифтене зависает во время затемнения после сцены, героиня комментирует, что история вора была правдивой, но затем экран так и не возвращается в текущее время. Я попытался отключить затемнение, чтобы увидеть, как вор обезвреживается, как и ожидалось, когда достигает моста, но мой персонаж после этого не встает/не просыпается.

Это значит, что я не могу перейти ко второму воспоминанию в каналах, чтобы разблокировать цель — пещеру Ларгашбур. И даже простое использование команды setstage не позволяет мне взаимодействовать с ветвями, чтобы открыть вход в пещеру.

 

2. Когда я возвращаюсь к трактиру «Вайтранская кобыла» и разговариваю с Хульдой о старике, она говорит, что он меня ждал, и она готова заплатить 100 септимов, и так далее. Но когда я подхожу и приближаюсь к его территории (независимо от высоты), он говорит что-то вроде: «Не стоило выставлять меня дураком», и это приводит к плохой концовке, в которой вор сбегает, несмотря на то, что я завершил этот участок десятки часов назад.

К счастью, по какой-то причине это не приводит к провалу квестовой линии Вора, но я не могу взаимодействовать со стариком после этого. Я пытался отключить его и выключить его ИИ, но это не помогает, сцена всё равно начинает воспроизводиться, но без его вступительного диалога. Я предполагаю, что его должен заменить другой Старик, когда вы вернетесь в гостиницу с его новыми скриптами?

 

Можете помочь с консольными командами, которые могли бы мне помочь? Что угодно, чтобы исправить или пропустить последовательность воспоминаний и предотвратить начало сцены с плохой концовкой от старика, чтобы я мог перейти к сцене с обещанием.

I have the same problem, and for the second step, the old man in Whiterun is nowhere to be found.

Hmm, seems like the bad end for some reason triggers at the same time as Phantom event. Do you have a bounty or something at Falkreath? A way to avoid that would be to release the Phantom after taking her to Zoe or killing her at first meeting.

Either in the Tavern via dialogue with Valga or if you have a good relation with Lod (you let him have sex when questioning about Thief) you can talk to him about spending the night.

No i don't have a bounty there, i restarted with a new game without some incompatibilities mentioned in the 1st page, i have pama prison and it alters some things in the prison as well as ZAZ 8+ i disabled it and restarted but now i just finished with Lod, i'll see what happens when i return to that part again. 

 

I tried killing the phantom in the first time but i don't get her head, she just dies 

[kitarieluv]

Did all that work to become the chief and Hokki is free. He tells me to meet him at the treehouse but when I interact with the ladder my character just says "I need to talk to Hokki and finish this..." and not letting me enter the treehouse at all. 

Edit: Used SSEedit to find his reference to enable him and moved him in front of the treehouse. Seemed to be the only way to fix it.

You actually don't need that at all, go to your old bed in the crypt sleep for a whole day and return to the tree  at 7:00 pm after the evening gathering he will be there and talk to him, wish there was an animation to slap him to the ground lol, annoying brat that caused too much trouble.

Ok i disabled all of the mods that are obvious conflicts and still the same bug happen, i honestly don't know what to do anymore or how to pass this without killing the phantom from the first encounter

I'm at the end of the pregnancy side quest and after telling Lod that he is the father and then the screen fades to black. Then the screen comes back and after some preamble I'm in the inn having sex with Kust while Narri is watching us but the scene won't advance past there. Any help on how to fix this would be much appreciated.

[Skyrim_WGuard]

How can I watch the cutscenes while talking to Cooli and also see the additional scenes at Madame Petit’s shop?
I’ve tried every possible conversation pattern, but the scene just ends.
To make matters worse, there are no save points between entering the box and talking to Cooli, so it takes a really long time to restart.

I’m having a bug here. When the PC asks about Talos, the two boys ask to see my breasts. I agree, then walk behind the low wall, and the scene begins—I suddenly stand up behind the low wall to show my breasts. Then the scene ends, and I’m standing behind the low wall watching the rest of the script play out. The problem lies in the “I suddenly stand up behind the low wall to show my breasts” part. There’s nothing behind the low wall—the two boys are just marveling at thin air. When the scene ends and I’m standing behind the low wall watching the rest of the script play out, I reappear behind the low wall again. I’ve tried this many times, but the bug persists. Does anyone know why this is happening?

[alex61821]

Serpents maw...thief made the poison and i am supposed to talk to a guard,  how do i do that?  theres no guards i can talk to.

 

Ha, ok i rested again for the hundreth time and the cask thing happened as soon as i posted this question.

Maybe you have a mod that conflicts with the area, like ones that changes roads.

Not necessarily a baby, but there is a time-skip with an epilogue and your child is already a kid. You can start adventuring while the father takes care of them.

I'm certain that's not the case. I turned off the “faded” effect.   can see that the PC does take off her clothes and is then teleported behind the low wall in a crouching position, but as soon as the cutscene starts, the PC suddenly disappear. I disabled the low wall and found that there was nothing behind it during the cutscene.

Not only that, but in the health check scene, there’s another sequence that triggers a camera cut—specifically, the cutscene where the PC shifts into the doggy position on the bed and kneels behind the curtain—and my PC disappears during that as well, then it suddenly appeared again. I suspect that a frame-rate optimization mod or something similar is causing my character not to render in that scene. It's possible that certain optimization mods are causing the game to fail to render my character when it's off-screen or too far away. But this is just a guess; I hope someone can help me. Thank you for your reply. My native language is Chinese, and I hope you can understand what I’m saying—this was translated using Google Translate.
