Helm of Winterhold glitch

[Bloomp]

i almost finished the miscellaneous quest to bring the helm of winterhold to the jarl at windhelm. After I got the helm i was told to go meet the jarl again but every time i go there he's in his house.

i try to speed time so i could see him coming out of his and talk to him but he stays there all the time.

when i try to break inside his house and talk to him he just calls the guards on me.

how can i talk to the jarl? please help

go outside and fast-travel to Riften and back, see if that works.

Sometimes NPCs get 'stuck' somewhere private (although the Jarl's Longhouse/Palace/whatever isn't usually private, but sometimes there's a private area) the only thing I've found that works is going elsewhere long enough for the cell to reset (most cities this is ten game days). So, for example, go to another city and wait ten days with the wait function, or just make a note of what game day you're on and go off adventuring for ten game days.

Going to riften and coming back didn't work. I also waited ten days and it didn't work. what should i do now?

Load a save before you got the quest.

It was a long long long time ago. I just found it again on the miscellaneous quests and then remembered i never gave it back to finish it.

i read alittle about the thing that is happening at my skyrim. i need to meet jarl korir but he is inside a house called burnwulf free winter's house(which is obviously on his own house).

i read at the wiki and there was said that jarl korir will be exiled to live in that house with his family IF the legion takes over winterhold.

i don't know which quest makes the legion take over winterhold or it happens naturally, but if it didn't i can't remember doing any special quest about these stuff because i haven't joined either the stormcloaks or the legion.

(and i went to the hall of the kings where the jarl stays usually and ulfric stormcloak is there)

if that gave anyone who is reading this a clue how can i get to jarl korir please help

Easy

Console command "unlock" just use it on the door. Your not breaking and entering if the door is unlocked and once it is unlocked it resets everybody peaceful to you being in the house.

Had the same issue but it was with my favorite saw mill operator the dork kept hiding in his house with the door locked for over a in-game week. Popped the lock bought the lumber I needed and now my lakeside manor is finished.

[Bloomp]

But still I think he was in there because of some glitch with the civil war stuff. if i unlock can i accidently screw up something of these quests? i haven't done them yet

[Bloomp]

Nvm I looked up into the story more and realized that i screwed up the game by continuing the story which allows the imperials to have winterhold. i unlocked the door and finished the quest.

thanks for the help
