So I'm playing a heavily modded game right now, using Mlox and Wyre Mash to clean it and sort it in the most efficient matter. And beyond this one problem, it is completely playable. The problem is that all the activators in the game dont work. This hasn't been an issue for a while, since before the only thing that has been effected is that I can't use any shrines. But now I'm playing the Tribunal Quest and I'm at the point where certain quest items need to be attached to certain activators, but because none of my activators work, I can't continue these quests. I've advanced very far into the quests and this game, and would rather not have to scrap it yet. Does anybody know a mod that could be affecting the activators and resulting in them not working, or why the activators couldn't be working universally for some other reason?

They're all sorted by the latest mlox data file, and my saves are all cleaned with Wyre Mash. Any ideas?

Pegas Horse Ranch v3.1.esm

Pegas Horse Ranch v3.1.esp


from the read me
****VERY IMPORTANT****
DO NOT CHECK BOTH ESM AND ESP. SELECT EITHER ONE!!
**********************

and what is your actual load order you can copy it from mlox

I'd try this:
click the acttivator, open the console, type ORI; if you see the object is from a mod file name different from standard Morrowind, Tribunal, Bloodmoon the you should have found the mod.
if the object seems to come from standard morrowind, type TFH, and hover the mouse over the object. If you can see the name of a script attached to the object, try looking for your loaded .esp and .esm containing the script name (you can use WInGrep or any other search tool, even standard window search, I prefer http://www.ghisler.com/ ).
Hope this can help.

Well the issue is its just not one Activator, its a ton of them, pretty much from what I can tell. And they're all vanilla ones. Absolutely none of the shrines work, form the Imperial Cult's to Vivecs to Almexia's and pretty much every god's shrine under the sun has stopped working. I can go up to it and have a name pop up like usual, but when I hit spacebar nothing happens, its as if the activator is like the activators of silt striders or signs, they just stay inactive. The issue is I'm now on the quest where *SPOILERS* I need to reactivate the Dwemer weather machine under Mournhold and cause ashstorms. First, the collapsed rock activators did not work even though I had the Dwemer Satchels. They just wouldn't let me stick anything in them, wouldn't respond to activation. I used tcl to no clip through those and get into the Dwemer Weather Machine, but now there is no way to bypass sticking the Power Conduit in the Dwemer Junction Box to power the machine back up. So I don't think its connected to one or two broken scripts in particular, but that something is breaking down activators in general.

And here's my proper, Mlox load order.

I know this is just a quick stopgap and not a solution, but it should work to open the console, click the item, and type activate. It worked for me, at any rate, in getting through a door in the census office that wouldn't work.

I've had this problem before, there's something odd in the Tribunal "cavein_script" script that I could only fix by rearranging the conditionals.

It might help to test a bunch of known activators to really see if all of them aren't working or if it's just some buggy scripts.

Do beds work? (the bed_standard script).
Do bar doors flip up when you activate them? (Many taverns have these, like "Suran, Desele's House of Earthly Delights").
Does the script on the skull on the desk in Shishi work to remove the obstacle to the hidden door?
Does activating 6th house bells make them play their bell sounds?

Actually yes, all of these work (Beyond the Shishi skull). Beds work, doors and bar doors work, and I recently raided a 6th House Dungeon and used the bells. This has mostly been non-game breaking. What makes me think this is a general problem though is the that the Shrines you can usually donate money towards to cure diseases and aliments or get blessings don't work. None of them work. But beyond the Shrines, much of the other in game activators work, such as the ones you listed yes.

Maybe you have a mod that has mucked with the shrine scripts.

A fair number of the shrines are in "Ghostgate, Temple" or in "Vivec, High Fane". Maybe you could go to one of those cells, try all the shrines, and see if any work. Then use the "TFH" console command and if you mouseover a broken shrine, it will tell you the script running on that activator. Then you could search your plugins in "Data Files" for any mods that modify that script (I'd just use a tool like http://www.inforapid.de/html/searchreplace.htm or something like it to search for the name of the script in your *.esm *.esp files).

Okay, I'll try that. I dont have access to my computer that has that Morrowind installation on it until tomorrow though. So I won't be able to try it now. I'll post a checkup tomorrow on how the script searching goes, thanks for all the help guys.

You wouldn't by chance have chosen the Atronach Birthsign? It's spell absorption will usually prevent shrines (and similar activators that trigger spell effects) from bestowing their blessings.

No, and its not like the shrine affect works or anything. Its literally like if I went up to a blowing sign and pressed spacebar, just nothing happens. When I press spacebar on a shrine it just sits there and does nothing. I dont even get a pop up about donating money or anything, its sufficiently broken.

Hey i had that problem, do you know whats wrong with it and what mods are causing it?

on topic now:

have you tried running it through tespd? it might have some information in that?

Okay I tried to the InfoRapid Search and it worked like a charm! I searched the the Dwemer Power Box Script and it turns out the Elskjiver mod uses the same script, which apparently broke it. I turned it off and the power box worked, the dwemer satchels worked, and my shrines all work too. Thanks for the help guys, my morrowind game is fixed!.
