Having great fun with this mod, though I'm stuck at the Fifth Spire. Read online that the quest item is on a body 'not too far west of the entrance' but I cannot find it at all. Could someone please help me out?

Cheers!

Oh, yeah, I remember this one now... "Not too far west of the entrance" is relative All of the dungeons in LS are big! You will have to go north or south to get around the rock fall that's preventing the direct route to the quest area. You'll recognize the quest area because there's a structure like an altar there. Also, you need to get the journal update for the quest to continue. Depending on how you approach the body, you might miss the marker. Wander around the area until you get the journal update, then retrieve the item from the body. The quest area is to the west, about in the middle (vertically if you are looking at the map on screen) of the whole map once you've explored the ruin.

Okay, so my journal's updated, but I'm being a total freak and I can't find the body itself....

Hmmm, I wonder if you've run into a bug then... I believe the body is at the base of the altar. I just had a quick look at the http://www.lostspires.com/pages/faqs.htm and you might want to have a look at #17. If the body isn't there, you might try going back to a saved game if you have one because it's quite dramatic. Perhaps even just saving, exiting to the desktop and reloading might work... If you can't get it to show, then I guess you'll have to follow the steps in #17, which really svcks!

I had a problem with getting the guard at Miro's Scribe services to show up. I managed to find his reference ID and move him to me via the console. What you might try before doing what #17 suggests is to see if you could move the body to you. If you don't know how to try that, post again and I'll step you through that. I'm hoping that the body was spawned, but it's slipped through the collision and you'll be able to move it to you...

I found the body at the base of that altar as well.

HO hum pigs bum. It's my brother's computer and...well. I have no idea where the construction set is, it won't let me access it completely. Grhh this is very annoying! I might just have to get a quest complete or something...

Hmmm, this is going to be tricky then. Do you have access to Wrye Bash?

The Form ID for the body is xx02a868. The xx part will change depending on where Lost Spires is in your load order. If you have WB, you can right click on the Mods tab and select list mods. Go through the list until you find Lost Spires. Those two numbers in front indicate where that mod is loaded. In my game it's 39, so the id for the body is 3902a868. If you don't have WB, then you can count the mods to figure out where LS is loaded, but the two numbers are in hex, so you'd have to count in hex

Alright assuming you get the id for the body, load the game in the quest area of the fifth spire. Open the console and type the following:

prid xx02a868
moveto player 100, 0, 0

Replace the xx with the proper load order number for your game. Hopefully this will move the body to right behind where your character is standing. I'm counting on the body being considered an NPC, so this should work if the body was spawned but just isn't showing up where it should be. Here's a http://i855.photobucket.com/albums/ab118/AndalayBay/Oblivion/LostSpiresRuin.jpg of what the area looks like in the CS and where the body would normally be found - you might want to have a look just to make sure you're in the right location and we're talking about the right ruin

Give that a try and let me know how it goes!

EDIT: You could also get the proper form id, with your load order accounted for already, by using TES4Edit, if you have it, but that would give away some of the plot and I'm trying to save that for you
