Known Issues

General Issues

Word Walls don’t do anything: Vanilla issue - Sometimes word walls don’t do anything when you walk up to them. Just leave the cell and come back.

A Soul Divided - Sometimes gets stuck: Vanilla issue - You’ll have to either reload or complete the quest via console.

Valdar the ghost might not be in Valthume after a certain point: Vanilla (or possibly Requiem) issue - To fix: console command - “prid 8CE78” then type “enable”

Sometimes Varona is still alive in Reluctant Steward: Vanilla issue - You can kill her and progress the quest via console.

Missives Bug: Missives sometimes bugs out with gathering quests. I recommend not picking them up.

Crash on loading/changing cells: This can sometimes happen randomly due to either DynDOLOD DLLs and Lux. Please only report if these are repeatable. You can minimize these by setting page file, updating drivers and getting pre-requisites per GitHub.

Saints & Seducers Thoron Bug: If he won’t die, click on him in console, type “disable” then type “markfordelete” then type “setstage EC_SS_MQ102 89”

Brawl dialogue sometimes doesn’t show up: Vanilla Bug - Usually playing a bit then re-entering the area will fix it.

Immersive Equipment Displays: You can fix anything yourself with backspace and navigating the menu

AE quests for alternate armors not starting:  These are intentionally disabled. All armor is integrated into the world instead.

Vampires/werewolves bugs: Growl/Sacrilege is the best we got. Unless something is crashing, don’t report it.

Night Eye: This is an ENB-specific issue. Some ENBs have fixed Nighteye, some don’t. Don’t report these.

Staff of Magnus Bug: Can’t equip it immediately sometimes. Storing it in the quest item storage (press shift while hovering over it) and retrieving it from the mcm menu will fix this.

ENB “issue”: Odd reflections and/or glow on materials. Using COC commands a lot or alt-tabbing during loading screens can cause dynamic cubemaps to get wonky. If you start having texture oddities, just exit the game and clear your overwrite folder.

Potions Require Bottles: It might seem like your game freezes when you run out of potions. It doesn’t. Just press the space bar.

Serving Time: It might seem like your game is frozen. It isn’t. Requiem just makes serving time take forever. Go grab coffee.

Lighting Crash: Game CAN CRASH when too many lights are on. Wearing too many lanterns, light backpacks, etc make this more common.

Missing Manual Downloads

Installing creation club content should be as simple as booting up Skyrim and letting it install your creation club content. But you may fall victim to Bethesda’s terrible system and be missing some content. Content needed to download this list as this list requires the Anniversary Edition Creation Club content

How to resolve

Step 1 - Ensure you own the Anniversary Edition Upgrade DLC for Skyrim Special Edition.

This is a necessary requirement for Lorerim. You can confirm this by checking your Steam game properties and then the DLC tab. If your copy of Skyrim SE is shared from someone else’s Steam account via family sharing, you won’t be able to download the AE CC content.

Step 2 - Make sure you’ve installed the Creation Club content.

This requires booting up to the Skyrim main menu, at which point you should be prompted to download the content. If you do not get this option, or nothing happens when clicking it, you can trigger the download by doing the following:

1. Select Creations from the main menu.

2. Press for options.

3. Click “Download all owned Creation Club Creations”.

Do not Alt-Tab or otherwise leave the game window while the download is ongoing. Doing so is likely to cause the download to stop or skip files.

Step 3 - Run Wabbajack once more, going through the same steps as on the initial install attempt.

Before hitting run however, tick overwrite installation. This will identify the existing files you already downloaded and continue where you left off with the install.

Troubleshooting

I downloaded all of the content but it still says some files are missing. There are two common causes for this.

The first is that you may have the wrong version of some of the files. These can be seen in the Skyrim Data folder, where some of them have a capital letter instead of lowercase (for example: ccbgssse037-Curios.esi instead of ccbgssse037-curios.esi).

For this, go to your Skyrim Special Edition/Data folder, and delete all files that begin with cc (do not delete skyrim.ccc) and then boot the game again, you should be prompted with the option to download everything once more.

If you have tried everything suggested above and you are still missing some files

You may just be a victim of Bethesda’s terrible system. You can try verifying the game files in Steam to reset the game and download all the content again from in-game.

If nothing else works but you are able to get the missing manuals down to a small amount, you can use the UESP CK wiki to look up the corresponding creation for each missing manual
