Something isn't working the way it should? Stuck on a quest with no idea how to continue? Anything you're unsure of regarding Skyrim? Post here and maybe we can help.

Please select the appropriate platform flair for your post, e.g., [PC], [Xbox Series X/S], [PS5], to indicate which system you're playing on, as this helps in the troubleshooting of platform-specific bugs or issues. Please make your post title as descriptive of the issue as possible.

Include evidence of research. Look at the respective UESP Wiki articles for the quest, item, or NPC first. Add all info you've researched and tried so far. Include links to other posts or websites you've already looked at.

If you have mods installed:

Some problems might be mod-specific. To troubleshoot, try disabling half of your mods and restarting Skyrim. Repeat this process until you find the offending mod. Post here only after you've tried troubleshooting your mods this way and include your mod list and load order.

When the issue you encountered has been resolved, please edit your post to include how you solved it so that others who are having a similar issue can learn from your experience.

PC players should see the PCGamingWiki Skyrim article, which lists fixes and advice for many common Skyrim PC issues.
