i never thought you were. If I did I wouldn't be talking with you. That is the problem with chats like this. You can't hear voice inflection or see emotion on face, body language, etc. I'm just plugging along trying to share what I know.

Guards and Gargoyles stop following or doing anything.

Sometimes Skyrim's game engine gets confused if you have a companion or not, especially happens more often with animal followers (as you can have one person and one animal follower by vanilla Skyrim rules).

First check to see if you have an animal follower that got lost or the game got confused if you had one. Using the following command in console should reveal 0 if you have no followers and 1 If you do have one:

Show playeranimalcount

If it comes back with a 1 than use the next console command:

Set playeranimalcount to 0

NPC's are supposed to have clothes on. Sounds like you've got a problem unrelated to this mod but that is affecting this mod.

@stinville There are a few mods that actually cause an NPC's outfit to be missing. But to the point if the outfit is completely missing, as in an "Adult Mod," that is a different story.
But as far as just the missing outfit, it is too hard to tell what did it.

I am sure it is not this mod causing the nude issue you are experiencing.

lol woops, i missed a word there. "Too hard to tell what 'mod' did it."
I know AFT has a script where it would register outfits on an NPC. That it could be one, because it did happen to me once, but only once.

For NPC's to be nude there has to be a mod installed because the vanilla game doesn't have private parts drawn in. They only have underwear.

You have to create custom textures with penis and vagina. Those are adult mods not allowed on Steam or on Bethesda's mod site.

i already know that...
i doubt that Bethesda would ever do that to any of their games
and volve would never allow things like that on there steam.
by the way if where gunna start talking about this i think we should talk about this in a different forum or chat i want to respect your FAQ & SOLUTIONS (bug report) Forum. i can see that someone did alot of work on it.

"anyway i think it was AFT that was messing with the mod. like Gr8umbreon had posted

after i read that i disabled the AFT mod and noticed my game kept Freezing everytime i'd went through the gate. sorry to say but i got rid of your mod after. i just wanted frodo and his friends to be my companions in skyrim" sorry for causing a ruckus in this fourm

And that is what you need to do when you install mods. When they conflict and there is no remedy you have to choose one or the other.

Hi,

first of all great mod!
I have expirienced that when serena uses the blood bath i get the vampire abilities. I am a Werwolf and have never been a vampire. Eventhough i get the ability to rise dead and the vampire effects like damage from the sun. What is causing this?

I've never heard of anyone having any such thing ever out of over 70,000 subscribers in the last three years. That leads me to believe something elese is causing this. All the bath does is heal and feed the user. It doesn't turn them into vampires or make them weak to the sun.

But, if you want to get rid of vampirism:

open console with Tilde ~ key
type this in console.
setstage 000eafd5 10

Or do the quest to get rid of it:

Small bug report: Around the Gargoyle King's Lair I sometimes get stuck inside a barrier that spams me with "You can not go this way".
