Ultimate Heist won't start

[EmperorC3]

After giving the springheel jak to the gray fox the next independent theivery quest won't activate. I've also fenced over 1000 gold.

Is there a way to use commands to start the quest or do I simply have to wait longer in-game?(I've waited through three days)

Independent Thievery should only be used to trigger the next quest, where you get the amount it says to earn the next part. But some people, especially those who play as thieves start stealing a bunch of items to make money and sell them to the fences.

The problem is that the quest sometimes breaks if you sell too much to the fence and go over the amount it asks for. It does not always happen, but when it does the questline is most likely broken.

Do you know how much your target amount is?

You can try using the setstage commands, but I am not sure that they will work in this case. I have tried it in the past and could never get it to update the quest once it was broken.

But if you want to try, try typing this into console.

setstage TGStolenGoods 20

Then advance through the stages by 5's until the quest updates.
25, 30, 35, 40~115.

That is the only thing you can really try, otherwise you need to reload an earlier save because the questline is broken.

I know was supposed to have 1000 from looking it up but I never received an updated independent thievery quest after turning in the boots, I'll try the command and if it doesn't work I guess I'll just have to steal Nocturnal's Cowl.

The command did make the new independent thievery quest appear, but even now 1000 gold fenced the Ultimate Heist quest isn't appearing.

If the quest updated, I think you need to wait for Amusei to come find you.

He didn't find me when I waited in the city, so I found him just standing in the waterfront, and he isn't leaving it. Talking to him won't do anything.
