aesp51 It sounds like you're having major issue with Skyrim in general rather than just my mod so I'm not sure anything I say will be of any help. If you've followed my instructions in the 'QUEST STAGES' section and it's still not working for you then there must be something in your system that's conflicting with my mod so unfortunately I can't help there. Also, if you're permanently stuck on waterwalk I'd look in to getting that fixed because there are numerous official Skyrim dungeons and eternal locations the require you to go under water even if only to get teasure so by passing that issue just for my mod is pointless. Maybe equipping and unequipping an item with the waterwalk spell attached might help. If you have the Dragonborn DLC I know there are Ahzidal's boots of water walking obtainable in the 'Unearthed' quest at Kolbjorn Barrow. If you still want to try bypassing the water stage in the mean time you can use the 'disable' console command on the secret cave door in the statue chamber but just make sure to immediately use the 'disable' console command once you're on the other side otherwise you may not get the door back. 'Disable' is easy to use. Just go into console mode then click on the object you want to disable then type 'disable' and press enter. Type 'enable' again before you click on any other object to make sure you are enabling the same object reference.

i don't have dragon born dlc, i do have waterwalking boot from the mind of madness quest,, but i removed those way before i started water walking, and as fsar as underwater quests, besides yourds, there are 2 other w which need underwater, i'm looking into fixes. but i will try your instrutions to start the house again and see if they work this time.

No worries. There are plenty of other house mods out there if this one doesn't suit.
