Why Are All Housecarls Missing Execpt Lydia?

[Guest iiLico]

Ok . I am Thane of Falkreath and WhiteRun and working on Solitude. I First Noticed when i became Thane of Falkreath that Rayya was nowhere to be found  . and i checked the lake and the cliffs around Lakeview Manor i checked the house and around it. i went back to the Jarl and talked to him and everything i still no Rayya  . i checked His Entire Town  . so i was going to forget about it but when i was in Solitude i was working on being thane. but i notcied that the housecarl isnt there either. the Sword Maiden Woman. She Gone to. so im very lost and very confused. and i need help.

 

My Question's :

 

1. What happened to them and where are they, i havent seen them before or after becoming thane. so does anyone know whats going on?

 

2. Does making a housecarl a steward remove the other housecarls?

1. There's a bug with Rayya where she doesn't return home when dismissed. I don't know what could have happened if you never met her, maybe someone else will know.

 

2. It shouldn't. Were they all accounted for before installing Hearthfire?

If you are of the pure-blood PC gaming master race, you can remedy your problem with an easy solution: the console!

 

Just hit the tilde key (`/~) and type in moveto <actor ID>, where the actor ID refers to their RefID. The RefID for Rayya is xx005216. The two xx's are actually numbers, but given as xx's because a person's load order of Skyrim expansions may be different. For vanilla Skyrim you replace the xx's with two zeroes, where Dawnguard could be 02, and Dragonborn 03. Jordis the Sword-Maiden's RefID is 000A2C95.

 

If you don't play on the PC, kill someone and get thrown in prison. Maybe the missing people could spawn outside the jail you're in.
