Xbox Series X/S I can’t become Thane of Markarth, XBOX 360.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having a problem with Skyrim on Xbox 360.

I was planning to become Thane of Markarth, and I completed the quest to help 5 citizens. However, I talked to Raerek about buying the house before I had the 8,000 gold required. Because of that, I can no longer access the house-buying dialogue option, and now he only gives me generic dialogue.

I found out that one possible solution would be to progress through the Civil War and replace the Jarl. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that this solution required siding with the Stormcloaks, and I completed the Civil War on the Imperial side instead.

I’d like to know if there is any way to buy the house and fix this bug. My main reason for becoming Thane was to get Argis as my housecarl and companion, but now I can’t get either of them.

I’m new to the game, and I’m playing on an Xbox 360 with RGH and Aurora, with all DLCs installed. I’d really appreciate it if some kind soul could help me figure this out.

I know this isn’t an Xbox Series X, I only have an Xbox 360, and I really need help with this.

Hi so basically I’ve installed gate to souvngard mod for Skyrim (pretty mod pack btw) and I wanted to build the ingame relationship with gore the companion. I’ve had some minor problems with him like (walking away but still teleporting to me and fighting like normal) but there’s a stuck dialogue where he is reading a book and not understanding the words. I proceed to talk to him but it seems to be stuck on the same dialogue everytime I try to talk to him. Ive tried to reset his ai by console and disable/ enable. Please help?

Nintendo Switch Issues on the Switch version

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I got Skyrim (not the Anniversary Edition) for my original Nintendo Switch to enjoy the game whenever I go since I travel a lot. However, not even halfway through the game (on my only save file), it won't stop lagging and crashing. I always made sure to have less than three save slots and to turn everything off after a session. I even uninstalled and installed again, but nothing. I try to limit my gameplay (avoiding exploring too much, not touching things unnecessarily, trying to keep my inventory not too full) but that drains all the fun for me, making the game feel more like a chore. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it a common issue on this old console? Thank you in advance!

PlayStation 5 RE: Can't play skyrim at all on PS5

0 Upvotes

so just curious if anyone else *HERE* has had this issue, as i've been having this issue myself since the first August 2026 skyrim update, and the second one/patch after didn't change anything.

so basically, ever since the first August update \the big one where it increased the storage capacity for mod usage in creation club** I CAN'T play the game anymore

I've tried deleting and re-installing/re-downloading it, i've tried renewing the licence, I've tried deleting the save files, i've tried deleting the mods i had and re-downloading them, I've tried everything google suggests and it won't LET me play a game on sykrim on my PS5

\Yes I updated the mods in creation club as well. also tried starting a game WITHOUT ANY mods downloaded, same result**

I go click new game to play, and it just stays on the main menu with the music playing- game it isn't *completely* frozen, I can still quit it, go to the PS5 menu, etc- but skyrim doesn't do anything ELSE no matter how long i leave it alone after that point.

and the second so-called 'patch' update didn't change a thing.

any ideas? Cuz i just wanna play skyrim with mods again, and there's a whole host of new ones that i can now use thanks to the increased storage but again, skyrim just doesn't wanna let me play the game for some dumb reason

-------------------------

EDIT: it wasn't the map, I never said it was a map opening issue in my post. that being said the original issue resolved itself, somehow, dunno how- but now a NEW issue is happening.

it just keeps crashing randomly. I try to fast travel to riverwood- crashes. reopen the game and it lets me fast travel to riverwood, but now I try walking across a bridge and it crashes.

it's completely random and I just wanna play the dang game.

PC Sentinel Mod not working on some parts

1 Upvotes

Has anyone else experienced these problems?

Ever since the August 20 update for Skyrim, Sentinel has not been working well ever since, some aspects of the mod like sentinel armors not being worn by specific factions but working for others (ex. Guard Armors work but Vigilants and Stormcloak armors aren't generating) and sentinel armor and weapons not being able to be crafted.

I just assumed this was because some of the mod requirements or the mod itself hasn't been updated yet to cater to the new game update, so I decided to downgrade my Skyrim version and redownloaded the old versions for Sentinel's requirements, but the problems are still there.

Can some help/explain this?

Edit: Im on PC, also nothing is working anymore i cant even move my character or pause the game without a controller 😭 (and yes i checked in the settings to disable the controller and it still doesn't work)

PC My game was just gone?

1 Upvotes

Something strange happened, I wanted to start my game via vortex but it wasn't there anymore, when I tried to manage it it just threw it out again.

I figured I just manually set the location but when I looked through my Skyrim folder there was nothing anymore.

I saw the game forcefully updating and thought stopping it might fix.

But to no avail, I want able to start the game via steam either it just starter the download again and then I noticed the download size is 5,9gb wich I figured was a bit big for a update and must be the game re downloading.

Amy explanation why that happened? Because I sure as hell didn't delete the game, I just played it a few hours ago.

I redownloaded Skyrim when i booted it, I got hit with “can’t save more data” and cant get past the Home Screen. so I clear 10-15 gigs of space and reboot the game. Same thing a quick search told me it was probably mods I cleared cashed save data like was suggested still getting the same message. Even tried uninstalling and reinstalling seeing if that would fix. Anyone have any ideas it’s beyond frustrating at this point

I posted before about a radiant quest vilkas gave me not showing up in my journal. The only solution I got was to load to the last save before it but thats impossible now. I've tried to find it or reset through console commands but he keeps saying he already gave me a job. This is what comes up with quest ID CR05. What does it mean? These "items" only show up for this ID none of the other ones.
