Legacy too many dragons

[stan.seaton]

Every time I step out of Gallery or Guildhouse there is a dragon. Has anyone else experienced this and more importantly is there a fix for it?

Did you fast travel to those locations? Fast traveling can trigger dragon and vampire attacks.

[SpeedFreak1972]

I had that once or twice. Any mods that touches dragon spawns?

[stan.seaton]

Well yeah dont most of us fast travel, just never had this happen before LOTD
Even happens most of the time traveling to Solitude, no one else is experiencing this?

[Candy Man]

You don’t fast travel?

I saw this post yesterday, and it reminded me of the Legendary version. Dragons continued to attack even after the main quest. Sometimes they would appear and then suddenly just drop out of the sky. By coincidence, that happened in the game I'm in. My character is level 25 or so and just now made Thane of Whiterun. Haven't started Way of the Voice yet.

Outside of Whiterun across the river, a dragon began an attack and then just dropped dead on the road for no reason. It's SE and patched. The dragons do get annoying once you no longer need loot and have more dragonbone and dragonplate weapons and armor than you can sell unless you want spend a couple of real time days traveling from city to city and merchant to merchant.

since I posted this they seem to have stopped, also found out you can fast travel while inside the gallery

I'm having this problem. I had "The real dragon threat" mod installed, but i removed it. The dragons are still coming, and I just absorbed the soul of a skeever. I'm assuming files from the mod remain, but I have no idea which ones, where they are and how to remove them. Being rewarded with dragon souls for killing skeevers is an interesting problem but not one I'm enjoying if there's any help to be had...

Did you start a new game after removing the mod? If not, it's still trying to run from the data stored in the save.

As for finding the files a mod adds, create an empty testing folder and extract the mod's zip file into it. Open the game's Data folder and navigate to the first folder that matches what the mod has.
Open that folder, then drag the mod's folder contents into that one. Everything that gets copied will be highlighted. Press the delete key and remove them.

If the files are uniquely named (i.e. modfile.jjj), then all you're deleting are files specific to the mod.
However, if the mod uses the same name as vanilla files, you may have to restore them from the vanilla archive if they were extracted.

Thanks! I had started a new game, but I did as you recommended with the mods files. There were 2 files that lingered after I uninstalled the mod, that seems to have cleared up.
