Bruma Unaccessible

[Arion]

I've had this serious problem for months and just blew it off say what the heck could be so important in Bruma. Everytime I try to enter through the games the game CTD. I can teleport to the castle and am fine until I try to leave through the door and its CTD again. I've also come in through the tunnel and gone into a house an no problems until I try to exit the front door. Anyone have any ideas? Could possibly send a saved game if that is any help. Had a friend that is a so called modder come over and she is clueless.

Any help would be appreciated. I'd love to be able to try out the holiday mod.

Have you already finished the main quest? If so, a CTD here is most commonly due to a problem with the Bruma statue--changing the race, hair, and even sometimes the clothing on your PC causes it to have an identity crisis... If it's out of the question to revert to a previous savegame--too far back--it's sometimes possible to fix it. But the fastest and easiest way is to use a small mod called Kill Bruma Statue (or somesuch), which removes the statue completely. You can then recreate the statue in your current likeness using Update My Statue, if you wish. (I have had a couple games where this procedure didn't work so well, but for the most part it does.) Either way, you should then be able to enter Bruma again.

If you haven't done the MQ, then I'd start checking for any mod that overhauls/affects the city or its inhabitants..

If daemondarque is right in assuming its your statue, even a change you don't know was made can have that effect. I simply changed my load order and it happened because it caused a mod to change something from a "light" version to "heavy". You will have to find a way to update or kill your statue to get it to work again.

I finished the MQ a long time ago. With 540 game days going back that far is kind of out of the equation. I haven't changed any of my characters attributes since I started this last game. I'll lok up that mod you suggested. I was kind of thinking that there's so much around Bruma that it's possible it was mod induced. I've tried different load orders to no affect, but it never hurt to really go through it.

Appreciate the suggestions.

I installed the plugin and wa laa I am once again able to access Bruma. Thanks so much for the pointer.
