skyrim AE marriage and shops

[unboundlopez]

Is anyone else having an issue where your spouse isn't opening up a shop? I married first Camilla and was told they wouldn't open a shop if their bro is alive, so I killed their bro and she began to sell stuff. However like to visit the shop in riverwood so I married someone else.

I then married Senna and she doesn't open up a shop for me. Do I have to kill everyone in the temple of Dibella? Is there a mod that fixes this?

Someone is telling you fibs.
Your spouse, regardless of anything, should set up a "shop", her brother being alive or not
changes whether she will take over his shop Outside of Marriage

[smr1957]

You are speaking about the Anniversary Edition purchasable/optional DLC upgrade? Because there is nothing in the SSE update that would effect that (and more than likely, nothing in the AE upgrade that you can buy, either).

Also, are you using mods? And, it is not clear exactly what you mean by "opening a shop", as when married, unless you are using mods, your spouse does not actually open a shop, but will give you income periodically by "selling" things.

From https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Marriage Benfits section:

"Your spouse will set up a store "somewhere" and earn a cumulative 100 gold or more a day for you.
If your spouse moves in with you, they will purchase and sell general goods with you.
If your spouse is naturally a merchant, they will buy and sell the same goods they would normally. If not, they will sell miscellaneous goods and seemingly items you leave in their inventory.
You don't need to worry about losing items by placing them in your spouse's inventory because they sold them to someone. Like all merchants in the game, they will actually only sell things to you, and not other people.
This inventory is randomized, and seems to reset once every two days (along with the amount of gold your spouse has to offer).
Your spouse will not give you additional discounts for being a spouse; prices are still defined by your Speech skill and perks."

The "somewhere" mentioned in the above is not an actual physical location - it is an imagined one.

Then what's wrong with my spouse?

Nothing. They do not open a physical shop per se. They will cut you in on their profits but you don't actually see them in a shop environment.

Now you can change this up a bit with mods like
Storefront 1.0.7

nothing is wrong, you can just ask her about how is the shop, and she'll give you money... you don't have to visit some actual map location or anything, in fact she's always at home if you move her into one of your hearthfire estates and yet "the store" is apparently manned and doing fine, I dunno maybe she's flirting too much with the stock boy, but that's because you're off on some crazy dragonborn stuff and she feels lonely... but like the store, you'll have to make up your own story here, she just gives you money and food. :-)

Simply put my spouse isn't giving the option of either providing me gold or opening up a general shop to sell me goods.

Yes, I am using mods.

it's the voice, right? I almost always marry Senna... not because I expect she's a hottie in the sack or anything being a Dibella priestess (because if you want that, BOY do I have some MODS for YOU!) but it's Susan Eisenberg's voiceover work. Hey baby.

How long have you been married? Takes at least one in game day.

[unboundlopez]

I don't understand did something change in anniversary edition that I'm unaware about? Before when you marry someone they would provide an option to sell you goods and would provide you a allowance for being a sales person(I know there is no storefront).

I'm not sure, but it's been more than a week. Since I've been fast traveling waiting and then fast traveling back to see if they would open a shop. I would repeat this a couple of times.

[unboundlopez]

I know what to do. Delete every mod(except skyui), restart the game, marry camilla and get a house and see if that fixes the problem :).

So it was Serana? Or was it Senna the Breton priestess of Dibella?

Also, from what you describe Camilla was working as intended. But then you murdered her brother, then divorced Camilla when there is no default divorce system in Skyrim.

I would reload an earlier save from before you murdered her brother Lucan or if you want a different wife load a save before you married Camilla.

Also, maybe try not murdering anyone related to your spouse.

1. It was Senna the Dibella priest
2. I didn't kill Camilla, I killed her brother and then she opened up the shop
2a. I didn't use any console commands, I reloaded a previous save and then married Senna.

[Vlad 254]

Yeah I meant her brother.

Either way and like I said I would go back and load an earlier save.

I did and I married Senna, the issue persisted.
