Hey there, I have kinda big problem in my game now. I was doing the Dawnguard story DLC quests with companion Serana and in middle of that when I went out from Soul Cairn I lost her somewhere. When I want take another companion with me like Lydia i cant, they all tell me "Looks like you allready got someone with you" I tried wait, fast travel or even let capture myself by guards but I cant find her anywhere. So I guess this is another Bethesda glitch so anyone here have some solution?

This is a common issue and normally solves itself within a couple of in-game days. After a few days (three, I think) away from you, your follower will leave your service.

You can also try the console command

set playerfollowercount to 0

Nope, that didnt work. I waited and waited and still nothing. I am gona try that console command, I only hope I get Serana back because I put some good stuf to her backpack.

Ok It worked, I can finaly have another companion but I gues I wont find Serana, she is not at Dawnguard fortress or anywhere else.

She's probably stuck in the scenery or on some ledge she won't jump down from.......it happens quite a bit. No follower is safe from this problem. Its a kind of bug I guess, but just inadequate coding really. I once found my missing follower Erik stood on a very low ledge by the roadside days later. I'd given up hope......then there he was behind bushes on a ledge. I had to UF shout him onto the road, then he responded normally. I kindly lead him back to Rorikstead and let him go.

I've had this happen with Serana a few times. Now I've got into the habit of looking behind me every now and then to make sure she's still visible and saving frequently in case I do lose her so that I can reload the game when she's still following.

Try the following console commands

02002B74.moveto player to move Serena to you

or

player.moveto 02002B74 to move your character to Serena

I teleported my character to find out where Wujeeta was one time only to have the game load a blank screen on me. With that I surmised Wujeeta was likely dead in the game.

First command failed so I tried to teleport to her and guess where I ended? Inside some random shop of Solitude doing this: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=635373187%C2%A0

WTF...

But anyway thanks for help guys, appreciate it

EDIT: I am really trying to figure out how to say her to go away because she is not coming with me and also she is refusing to leave her as companion

Also, I cant tell her any commands, she literally dont want to go away from this shop. Any ideas?

I think a step was missed with the "moveto player" command.

Get out of the shop (don't be in the same world space as her), then type:

Prid 02002B74

02002B74.moveto player

The Prid command sets the target as a reference, then the moveto player command should work.

If that doesn't work then the "player.placeatme 02002B74" command might .... I'm not really sure if that one is "safe" to use or not, I'd wait for someone more knowledgeable to confirm or deny. I've never tried it. Don't do this, from what I've read this will create a new reference of the base object.

EDIT: Just noticed no one asked you what if any mods you are running. There are a lot that can affect Serana negatively. A list of your mods in the order they appear in whatever mod manager you are using could be a big help, that is if you are using mods. If you have no mods at all I'd strongly suggest getting http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/71214/? (if you have ALL dlcs). I don't know that USLEEP will fix a current problem, but it will help keep a lot of others from cropping up.

Nope, didnt work. First step was fine but always when I hit second command it says : Script command "02002B74.moveto" not found

I got these mods: Left Hand Rings, Auto Unequip Ammo, Realistic Ragdolls and Force, SkyUI (with SKSE), Milky Way Galaxy Texture, Unread Books Glow, Fall of the Space Core Vol.1, Faster Vanila horses and I was using Dance of Death and Violens but I uninstalled them because they didnt work.

Don't do the "placeatme" command. Just did some more reading on it and it will create a new reference of the base object.

Hmm, not really sure then, hopefully someone else will have the answer. On a somewhat side note Violens works for me so I am wondering, did you run LOOT to get the mod order? Still I don't see anything that will conflict with Serana, at least not the mods I was thinking about.

If you completed the necessary quest in the Soul Cairn, you could try going to the next location (either Fort Dawnguard or Castle Volkihar depending on which side you chose) to continue the DLC main quest and hope she appears and regains her normal function since she's required for some scripted scenes. If that doesn't work, your best bet is going to be reverting to a save from before you left the Soul Cairn.

Actually I think I messed up, it's been a few years since I've had to use any of those commands. I said "02002B74.moveto player" but I believe since you've used the Prid command that when you do the "moveto player" command that it should just simply be "moveto player" with no numbers since Prid has already targeted Serana.

So I believe schmoe's advice was correct and mine was in error. Apologies.

Like KentuckyWildcat said you may be best off "reverting to a save from before you left the Soul Cairn."

What exact quest from the Dawnguard DLC is active for you right now and what stage is it? -> getstage

You could try advancing the quest via the console but be cautious and know the risks - make sure you have a hard save to go back to if that makes things worse.

You were still correct in that I needed to precede with the "prid" command.


Prid 02002B74

moveto player


Should indeed do it.
