Wowwwww, what have you done? Don't.EVER EVER EVER. attempt to deactivate modules for Skyrim, either for DLCs or for mods, and then load a game save where they were active, unless there are specific instructions to uninstall. And there aren't instructions to uninstall DLC modules. The Dragonborn DLC module was active, even if you haven't 'started' it in-game.You dun FUBAR'd your game. Start a new game from scratch.
And.DON'T. fiddle with deactivating modules once you start.Posts: 3398 Joined: Fri Sep 08, 2006 4:39 pm. Whatever FAQ you read lied to you, and just royally.ed your game.you don`t have to deactivate any DLC for any quest.you see, when you have a DLC module activated, its scripts are still running within your save, even if you never started any of the content the DLC provides. By deactivateing the DLC and continuing your active save, those scripts become 'Corrupted' for lack of a better term. Which ends up harming your Save significently.and just reactivating the DLC will not fix this, and that 'corruption' will continue to affect that character indefinitely.as such, I suggest you make a new character, if you truly deactivated and reactivated a DLC, you are going to experience alot more semi-hazardous glitches.Posts: 3468 Joined: Sun Nov 05, 2006 9:33 am.
