Quests missing from Quest tab?
This has happened to me at least twice (this being the 2nd time)

I'm running quite bit of mods, most of them are texture/replacers, animations, and a few overhauls like ordinator etc. And a few mods that add new quests and lands.

I've noticed that some of my quests have disappeared? I've not completed the quests some are also not meant to be completed, (First quest was Wyrmstooth Quest I was supposed to talk to a certain NPC in the bannered mare) the Quest Wyrmstooth disappeared from my log, after talking to that NPC it reappered.

5 mins ago I realized my quests REBIRTH (From Dark brotherhood of old quest mod) Wasn't there also (that quest has been in my log for quite sometime now I still need to talk to someone at an inn, I know by doing that it should make the quest reappear)

The other one is (serana tracking marker which you get from talking to serana using the Serana dialogue add on. SDA) mod it basically points a quest arrow on Serana so you know where she is.

That "quest" has disappeared completely also from my MISC tab in the quests page.


I'm currently playing Second Great war on the same save file.

Have any of you encountered this bug? If so did you managed to fix it?
I don't ever remember having this problem at all.

This is my load order if it will help.

However, a mod was just released that addresses this very issue. See:

All the above is, of course, provided that you are exceeding that limit, though I think that the most likely cause.
