Skyrim Farming bug
Edit: I don't have any mods installed.
The first steward I hired never showed up & the quest log won't change either. I was able to hire the second guy after that but the same thing happened; he never showed up & the quest log still looks like it did right after saving the family. I recently deleted most of my saves because they're were just too many & I really don't want to go from level 25 back down to level 6. If anyone knows a way to fix this without reverting to an earlier save that would be great, thanks.

Do you using "Immersive Citizens" ? I had this problem with this mod on.

Hired hands from the vanilla game, like Marcurio in the Riften Bee and Barb, are good stewards, although I don't like Marcurio's responds to the player. I personally prefer Illia as a steward after completing the quest Repentence although you might want to change her outfit. For any possible follower, complete any quests for them, otherwise they may return to their original location.

Yep, this mod causes the NPC to go back to their updated routine when not following the player, unfortunately it does not recognize the Stewardship of Golden Hills.

I find the best person to hire (with Immersive Citizens) is Erik the Slayer from Rorikstead, even if he won't stay at the Farm he is still close by.

Or even better use another similar mod like "AI Overhaul SSE", didn't had any problems with this mod plus more friendly with other mods (light on scripts).

1- Hire Farmhands. This is different from a 'Steward'. You can hire up to 2 Farmhands yourself. ( only about 6 to chose from) It may take them a while to get there because they walk. ...or you can let your Steward hire some and 2 random hands will spawn in immediately.

2- you can only chose between a few NPCs to be Steward as well, although more choices than Farmhands. The hiring process for a Steward is different than just asking someone from a city to be a Farmhand.

You have to actually take a follower to be Steward. Physically, take them to the property, and sometimes you must take them inside the house, to get the Steward option to show up.

Fendall or Sven will easily make a Steward for the Farm. Some steward potentials have quirky dialogue options and are buggy.

And It seems you mistaken farmhands as steward, as that guy said.

I guess I didn't explain it as well as I should have. Instead of the quest telling me to hire farmhands it skipped right to steward & when I try to hire farmhands to get the quest going it won't register that they're hired. Even when they show up they just wonder off instead of staying & working. It worked fine on my last character so I know how it's suppose to work but even after uninstalling & reinstalling farming from the cc it still bugs out so I just got rid of it for now. Every time they update one or two things they break 50 others.

Yes, I've seen this as well. I use AI Overhaul with no issues.

I usually hire Marcurio who's at the Bee and Barb in Riften. He's always there for me to collect.

I think we are still confusing Farmhands and Stewards. It didn't 'skip' to the Steward. The Steward is the first thing it prompts you to hire. Then, the Steward hires the Farmhands.

I'm not sure about the whole uninstalling and reinstalling CC content. ...and just got rid of it for now? That's like saying you are going to disable Dawnguard because a Vampire glitched. It's part of the base game. You shouldn't be uninstalling CC content.

???
How, since to hire someone as a steward you need to take them to the home/plantation?
Did you build the farmhands lodging?
Have you checked inside there, and around the farm?
If not you really are going to have to give more details.
