Delphine Quest Not Working

I’ve been playing Skyrim on and off lately and every time I go to Kynesgrove to kill the dragon with Delphine, some sort of glitch happens where I can’t speak with her after and so I cannot complete the quest. I’ve tried fresh installing, deleting some mods, console commands, and nothing seems to fix it. Anyone else experiencing this problem, too?

Why does my Bodyslide menu look like this?

When I look up guides, everyone's menu for bodyslide looks like the first image. The second one is what mine looks like, and I can't figure out how to make it look like the first image. My current menu won't let me do a batch build, which from what I understand lets me apply body morphs to all NPCs and the PC. I just installed Bodyslide so I am new to this. Pls help! Thank you!

All trees extremely low poly. Skyrim AE.

I've seen people talk online about certain trees being extremely low poly and having no collision, however all the trees in my game are this way. I've also seen people mention that it has something to do with the LOD not functioning as intended. If anyone could give me some pointers on what to do to solve this I would very grateful. If posting my load order would help I'll do that.

(Total novice when it comes to modding btw)

Dark Brotherhood Astrid dialogue bug

Whenever I enter dialogue with Astrid I get stuck in the opening line of dialogue, I cant respond to her or exit the dialogue using tab or by clicking on the exit button. I was able to fix it once by using the resetai command on her but it isn't working this time. I have also tried spawning enemies, the kill command, the disable command, and the coc command and nothing seems to work, I have also tried quitting the game and reloading a previous save and I always encounter the same bug

Interact button not appearing on certain NPCs

So as title says, I've ran into an issue on mid/late game saves where after some time certain NPCs will completely lose functionality, their interact option completely disappearing.

They still react to you bumping into them, getting within their radius, they will react to your presence but there is no way to interact with them, I've already thrown a save away because this happened to Calcelmo, locking me out of the Nchuand-Zel quest and one LotD quest, this time it has happened with Adrianne so I want to just know if anyone knows any sort of fix for this, any mod to force dialogue or anything like that, because I'm not sure if more and more characters will keep getting corrupted over time and at some point essential crucial NPCs might brick the save completely and prevent me from making progress in quests and such

I've done all the basic stuff like verifying game data, restarting the game, restarting the PC, redownloading SKSE, reinstalling the game, cleaning plugins etc.

I'll be attaching images related to the issue below, big thanks to anyone that might have any idea where to start even

Can't sheath I can only use dual power attack

So I picked up Arvaks skull, got hit by an icicle, swapped to my dual axes from favorites and then my weapons disappeared and I couldn't sheath or unsheath, I couldn't light attack or use spells I could only use dual power attacks. How do I fix this?

Character has movement lag, but all other functions work as normal

I got Skyrim on Xbox one recently and the left thumbstick has a delay/lag. When I push it in any direction, my character takes a whole second to respond. It makes battles really difficult. The right thumbstick is fine. And it doesn't happen in another game on my xbox. I've tried it on multiple controllers, and have also updated the controllers. My tv is old and I don't think it has Game mode. I can't enable the No Lag option in Xbox settings as it's greyed out.

Has anyone else experienced this/ know how to fix it?

Help: Missing Item for 100%

Hi guys,

I'm currently doing a very in depth 100% run in which I, among many other things, collect every item in Anniversary Edition.

However, I can't seem to find any clue on where is the item "Note to Vekel" that should come with the Shadowfoot Sanctum creation.

I can't seem to find anything online on its location and know it exists only thanks to the wiki.

Does anyone know where it is or has it one some save?

Should I return the skeleton key at the end of the Thieves Guild quests?

It is a very useful object, but I don't know if there are any consequences for not returning it at the end of the plot, or simply nothing happens and does it remain like a mission that has not been completed and that's it?

Need help with infinite loading.

Hello fellow Dovakiin! As the flair says, I am on PS5 trying to play Skyrim special edition with the Anniversary upgrade. The only mod I had installed is the fishing mod.

Anyway, it was working okay yesterday (9/29) but today it is stuck on an infinite loading screen after the Bethesda Logo. I have tried un/reinstalling twice, hard shut down and unplugging the system, simple system reboot, all to no avail.

Help me Dova-wan Kiinobi, you're my only hope.

Anyone recognise this loading screen?

Mystery Loading Screen from unknown mod

UPDATE - SORTED! See reply below for source.

Skyrim SSE/AE. A mod has dumped this image into my game, and overrides my Loading Screens.

I cannot track it. I've search xEdit on the LSCR field, search DDS files until I am exhausted. I've checked through live and inactive mods.

The trouble is, it could be buried as an instruction in an ESP, or even a DLL.

If anyone recognises which mod it came from, I'd be overjoyed. Thanks!

Quest won't start

I'm currently doing to thieves guild quest line and the next quest won't start. I've just finished the Loud and Clear quest (goldenglow estate) and brynjolf told me to speak to Maven, but the next quest hasn't started and I can't talk to brynjolf because he keeps saying he's busy. I'm level 72 and my last save before the bug was level 68. Maven is the jarl of riften from when I had the peace meeting with the greybeards, the imperials took over riften. Maven is in mistival keep but won't talk to me. What should I do? I'm on xbox one SE skyrim

[BUG FIX] Thieves Guild Extra Jobs Not Appearing In Windhelm

Just in case anybody ever has this problem, it should only be the case if you SIDED WITH THE IMPERIALS. If you left before Tullius could finish his speech, you need to head back to Windhelm, speak to both him (and the general, I forgot her name) and they will both go outside. LISTEN TO THE ENTIRE SPEECH and you’ll basically trigger the game realizing Windhelm is a livable and existing hold.

I had this problem and had to check old forums so read this and comment so others won’t have to!

I keep turning into a vampire without contracting the disease...Falion doesn't give me an option to cure myself AND I even tried to become a werewolf and that still didn't fix it.

I have no idea why this keeps happening or how to fix it. I've even tried reloading old saves and it keeps happening!!

Anniversary Edition Not Opening In Full Screen?

Hello! For some reason, every time I open up Skyrim, Anniversary Edition, the game opens up in my native screen dimensions, but does not open in full screen? Gone through the ini. files and made sure to change them to borderless and full screen with zero luck. Was hoping someone had any experience with this? Running on a PC with a 4090 and Ryzen AMD-5, I think.
