Hearthfire Bug - Family won't move to new home

[DovahTheExplorer 🔻]

I recently started a new world in Skyrim and as usual, the Hearthfire bug which won't let me move my family.

So far I've had it in every single world I made, and never got to fix it properly.

I adopted both Blaise and that one Girl from the Orphanage, both currently live in Breezehome.
Everytime I tell them to move to the new house with me, they say that they'll "see me there".
Then they never show up.

Regarding my MODs, I'm using Multiple Adoptions and want to transfer them to Elysium Estate.
YES, I've used the *Bless Home* - Spell. YES, I got the Kids rooms ready and the Spell accepted it as the new home.

I've been through my whole modlist too, and didn't find any MODs which could interfere with it.
The only one with known Issues is Prince and the Pauper, but it has gotten a Bugfix a while ago.

I've been through every single Forum I could find, and never found a solution, only people telling me how they didn't have that problem, which is certainly now helpful.

I'd really apprechiate if I could finally fix this.

i REGRET adopting the kid in the game. They are always bugging me when I go home "did you bring me anything" "Can I have an allowance" " Want to play a game" AHHHH!!!!! I recommend you don't move them into your heartfire houses they are a annoying.

I'd really apprechiate if you could ♥♥♥♥ off with the Off - Topic discussions.
Every single time I ask for help in this forum, there are people who tell me not to use the mod or the feature.

Why would I adopt kids and do all of this if I wouldn't want to fix the problem in a proper way instead of just leaving it be?

WHOA, you are a bit aggressive. Let me think here.
Have you tried fixing it with mods like amazing follower tweaks?
Have you tried using console commands to recycle the actor?
Have you tried using console command, write down their prid and then teleporting them to said home?

I got it! To anyone having the same issue, go into your data folder and then into scripts then delete the three BYOHrelationshipacoption .pex files then also into source and delete the same .psc files. On launch, your game will regenerate those files CLEAN through the .bsa that comes with the game. I read this from another comment someone made but I figure id share it here since this is on page one. I assume PNP left over some stuff after I removed it. I have only tested right now with one child but that is so much better than how it was yesterday at 5am. Endorsed my friend!

My silly issue I resolved: "I am only using this, Elysium Estate, and USSEP. I'm positive I read everything but I cannot get this to work at all. Once the home is blessed and confirmed to have 4 beds, and a child gets adopted, she stands there saying she needs to get her things but never shows up. I've waited with T, fast traveled almost everywhere and back, ran around the map on foot, everything. Still, she is stuck on waiting to say good bye. This is also a 100% clean save. Honestly lost here. I have tried various versions of Elysium and I have attempted older versions of this (all tested with a new save) but it just doesn't want to work. I do want to add that I use many texture / mesh mods but nothing as heavy as RS Children or TKAA. Only Rustic Children and a custom children clothing file I made using textures from PNP but /not/ using PNP (just a texture replacer using those new textures).

Complete Load order:
USSEP
Elysium Estate
hearthfireMultiKid"

(yes I only have 3 plugins this is not a condensed version)

Breezehome is the emergency fallback location of the adoption system... It usually means there's something wrong.

PM me your load order. You may have some incompatible mod installed.

Thank you very much for your help, it worked at last.
And please have my apologies for lashing out. I spent 7 hours modding the game into every detail, and finally being able to play it only to find out that the basegame itself is making problems is rather infuriating.

They move in when there is chests for the kids in the new house. So you need to make sure there is kid chests in the house you want to move them to.

What fixed it?

[DovahTheExplorer 🔻]

Deleting the files. Worked perfectly.

Thank you so much man ! Had the exact same problem as OP but this easily fixed it.

BTW I did this on MO2 by simply going into my virtual game folder and deleting the files there.

I know this is an old thread, but I have exactly the same issue, just that those files that I have to delete don't show up in Data/scripts or Data/scripts/source.
I really have no way to fix this issue.

I understand this doesn't help, but I've run into the same exact issue. You didn't fix it by chance, did you?
Do you maybe have a mod called " Whiterun Big Childroom and a Basement for Hearthfire Multiple Adoptions" or any other city's variant? Something tells me that mod is creating issues. But it's just a hunch. I'm kind of desperate at this point, i can't find anything to help.

Did you end up finding a fix ? the files also don't show up in my game folders :/

I'm literally crying, there seems to be no freaking fix to this stupid problem nowhere on Earth...

Having the same issue. I'm trying to move my family from Breezehome to Hjerim but that's just not possible. I also have Elysium Estate, attempted to move them there before trying to move them to Hjerim in case the dialogue would change but again, can't find those files in Data so that went nowhere.

Edit: ok, so apparently until now I'd only tried telling my spouse to move and it wouldn't work but once I asked the kids as well, they finally moved. The spouse left the new house immediately and went for a walk Divines-know-where but when I talked to him he came back home. Strange a$$ behaviour but I guess I got a solution after 3 hours of trying everything. If you're experiencing the issue with Elysium then I suggest you try talking to the kids as I did.
