I am at the point in the quest where I rent the special room from Delphine. She's supposed to follow me and meet me in the room. I am able to talk to her and ask her to rent the special room. 10 gold is even removed from my inventory. But when I enter the room, Delphine does not follow me. The bed in that room also remains as owned. I play on PC.

I did read the note that you find in the tomb before I ran into this problem.

I have tried:

Loading a previous save

Console command for setting the quest to complete stage 60 (Delphine stays bugged, so can't continue with MQ)

Console command for acquiring the horn (Delphine stays bugged)

Console command for disabling her and enabling her

Sprinting into her and bumping her

Attacking her and yielding before I rent the room

Knocking her to the ground (killing her) and yielding before I rent the room

Attacking her and yielding after I rent the room

Knocking her to the ground (killing her) and yielding after I rent the room

Using game's waiting feature to wait hour or hours

Disabling all my mods

These are all the solutions I've found online, and none work. But these technically were solutions for the problem that Delphine just doesn't have the option to rent the special room. I do have that option, but she doesn't respond as if I rented it. I haven't found anyone asking about my problem specifically online.

I don't know how else to reset Delphine or do something to trigger her proper actions for this quest.

Which mods are you using. You do not want to disable mods on a current game save since many mods will have data baked in on the game save.

How far did you go with the previous save. Did you do the Bleak Barrows before going to Whiterun, I have only did that once and my Main Quest was glitchy since Delphine was bugged. I found it is always better to do the quest in order

I do not recommend using command console to fix quests since more often than not it just makes the next stage to not work and sometimes other quests might get glitched. That command is there to help test quests out for the Developers as well as mod makers.

There might not be any fix for you except to start a new character if you do not have an older game save.

What topic in her dialogue did you pick?

I have one armor mod, a body mod, and a hairstyle mod. also Climates of Tamriel, one that makes flora bigger, and Summer Skyrim. other than those I have SKSE and SkyUI. I delete old saves really often so my oldest ones aren't that far back, and I don't have any saves from before I got Delphine's note in the dungeon for this quest. I do know I didn't go to Bleak Falls Barrow before Whiterun.

I usually don't delete saves in the middle of quests but I don't know what I was thinking this time ): lesson learned since maybe that could've helped for a fix. the MQ isnt that important on this character honestly and I've started this character over a few times going from Xbox to PC so it's ok I guess. but I'll have to be more careful in the future.

@ Leonardo Yeah I picked the attic room one. Delphine/the game doesn't recognize that I rented the room afaik.

thanks for the help

Stupid question time.....are you sure you are in the correct room? There are two rooms, the one on the left on the front side of the building closest to front door is the one you want.

The one on the right will show owned....and I don't mean Delphine's room either, so face the bar, turn left, and look at the two rooms, one kinda hidden in the shadows and then pick the left door of the two.
