Broken Quest Solution (360)

[Tristan]

Okay, I had problems with missions breaking and not being able to progress, and this annoyed me alot, so I figured out a solution and I wanted to share it so other people could fix their broken missions.

 

Here are the things you are going to need-

• [*]An XBox360, I'm not sure how this would work with a PS3 [*]Skyrim XBox360 version latest update 1.9.32.0.8 [*]Skyrim PC version latest update 1.9.32.0.8 [*]Modio, preferably the current version 5.13 [*]At least a 10 megabyte storage unit, any flashdrive basically. [*]And a PC, if you don't have that give up now.
  

Modio download- http://www.game-tuts.com/community/modio.php

You check your current pc version by starting the game and at the title menu it will be at the bottom left I believe, The XBox360 version updates automatically I believe.

 

Okay, first make sure you know where your skyrim saves are,

Then save in game, and check the number next to the save.

Go to the storage unit the game saves to,

Copy your profile to the flashdrive,

Then go to games and find Skyrim

Find the Save with your gamertag next to it and the number you checked in game.

Then copy that save to the flashdrive,

Pull the flashdrive out and stick it in your PC.

Open Modio, and at the bottom it should say "Open a Save"

Click that and then next to "Recent" it should have a button that has a usb stick on it,

Click that, and click the button with your profile picture on it.

There should be a picture and button that says Skyrim on it, click that.

Click the save in it and it should open, to the left it should list; General, Advanced, Modify Save

Click the advanced option, and it should have an option at the bottom to "edit package contents"

Click that button and it will open the folder with "Savegame.dat" in it, no matter what the save name is, it will always say Savegame.dat so don't freak over that.

Leftclick then Rightclick on the file and it should give you the option to "Save as..."

Click that and save it to your desktop,

And rename it to "Savegame.ess"

From there you just drag and drop it to wherever on your computer you pc skyrim save to.

Thats Part one, now give me a minute to rest my brain... okay now here's step 2-

 

Now open your skyrim PC version, and load the save you just put in the save folder.

don't do anything just open the console, for those of whom that don't know how to do that you just press the tilde key (US keyboard) and since I'm not familiar with other nations keyboards, here's a link to I think a faq on the skyrim console- http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Console

Now type in the needed quest command, link to all console command commands- http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Console_Commands_(Skyrim) the quest commands are the 3rd section down I think. And if you don't know you're quest ID just google the quest name, something should pop up with it's quest ID.

But you'll need to either enter the command to finish the whole quest, or find the appropriate section of the quest you're stuck on, or that is broke, once you've done this, save again.

Close skyrim and open the saves folder again, pull the new save out to your desktop and change the .ess to .dat again, and drag it back into the folder in modio where you originally pulled it from, it should ask if you want to overwrite it, click yes, and that's pretty much it, just plug the usb back into your XBox360 and copy over the new save, then load it up again and the quest should work again.

 

 

Sorry if that was messy, I'm not a professional, I just thought this would help people that have this same problem, and I hope it did, please tell me if it did
