I Can't start the Woman's Lot DLC

[artemoderna]

I've been trying to start the Woman's Lot DLC quest with no sucess.
The DLC is installed and shows up both on the Main Menu and on the DLC Prompt that appears once Henry leaves the Miller's house. Also the Map marker for the DLC is active.
My first attempt was on an ongoing and modded Playline in which I got pretty much all the new features involving Theresa, but didn't get the "How did you manage to survive" speech option that triggers her quest.
I thought maybe the mods were the problem and removed them and started a second Playline. I finished the required "Awakening" quest, went to talk to her, and still got nothing.

Am I missing something?

I did the courtship quest first.
Talk to Theresa at the Mill ask her how did she manage to survive. She will offer to tell the whole story are you ready, Henry says yes I am now.

[artemoderna]

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for trying to help, but I just completed the courtship quest and still can't start the DLC. There are no prompts to conversation about how Theresa survived Skalitz or anything.
I'll try waiting a few days in-game and see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll try re-installing the game.

Also having this problem. I completed Awakening and I can see the DLC symbol on the map, but when I speak with her there is no option to start the quest. Did you find a solution?

[artemoderna]

Nope. Sorry.
I skipped some in-game days but nothing happened and then I kinda got lazy about trying to figure it out. Didn't even bother re-installing the game. Also, I thought about disabling/enabling the DLC in the Steam Library, so maybe you should try that before downloading the whole thing again.
If you have any luck with it, please let me know!

Using any mods?

[Lieste]

My guess would be some localisation/merchant etc mod which tramples over the dialogue handles by imposing a modified 'old' version.

[artemoderna]

Well, I deleted the mods folder and started a new playline before doing all those quests. Are there other steps to prevent such conflicts?

[Jaunitta 🌸]

All I can add, I played quite a lot of the side quests and a few of the main quests.
I completed the Ginger in a Pickle and then stopped with the main quests.
I took the dog mutt from her as well a while back and have trained him up.

[Blackbird Ater]

No mods currently running, no option to get the dog, nor options to start the quest. I do the entire conversation about what happened at Skalitz and still nothing... Not sure what to do now.

[Blackbird Ater]

I should clarify that the conversation never specifically asks what happened in Skalitz, rather it asks a bunch of questions which I believe were there before I added the DLC.

[Blackbird Ater]

Okay, so I figured out my issue. I was running out of disk space, had only a few GBs left, yet somehow Steam let me install the game and all the DLC anyway. So, it appears not all the content was downloaded for the DLC, hence why I could see the marker and it said it was installed, but I had no options to start the quests. I think this is a bug in Steam because usually, it ensures there is enough space before downloading the game.

It wasn't apparent at first because I still had space left, but I decided to move the install folder to another hard drive and then re-installed the DLC.

[artemoderna]

Nice!
I'll try doing that at some point. But I had more than enough disk space when I installed though.
