Vendor kill reset exploit stopped working?

[Jostamann]

So you all know the trick to shoot/kill an NPC to reset their inventory with a quicksave/quickload. I did that and by accident shot Belethor in the head. But he stopped being hostile when i sheathed weapon. But now for whatever reason the restock mechanic broke. I can quicksave, kill or attack him and quickload. And it resets his money, but he keeps his inventory. Sleeping for 2 days also doesn't reset his inventory anymore. I tried to do resetai and recycleactor commands, but both didn't do anything. Any help?

Stop using that exploit.

Because people like to use exploits instead of outright cheating despite that fact that latter would just be faster and easier.

This is a really dumb comment. Doing it does not remove any difficulty or anything skill related. Absolutely nothing. But it saves 1 minute of staring at the wait timer ticking down.
If you love to wait for 24+24 seconds plus menu clicking to shop for a few alchemy ingredients or soul stones, you do you.

It saves you the time to wait for 48hrs to reset a vendor.

Its obvious your game is broken. There is no fix for a broken game besides reloading a save from before you started using that exploit, or start a new game.

I am curious what the advantage that particular exploit gives? Steal their inventory and sell it back to them? Whatever it is, just use a mod.

You can just use the Trade and Barter mod to speed up the merchant restock to one in-game day.

Sigh.
It resets the vendor as if you waited 48h without waiting for 48h. You literally just skip the waiting for 24h twice.

This is why I just fast travel around to the different cities to sell all my accumulated goods, exploits/cheating is lame and game breaking.

It's a stupid exploit.
Just use player.additem command.

If you're going to go through the trouble of spamming the vendor exploit, you might as well just add the item as Alex said.

You still need plenty of gold to use the exploit. The steps are -
1. Buy items.
2. Save game.
3. Kill Vendor (stealth attack from behind is best).
4. Reload save.

The inventory is refreshed with varying amounts of product and you sometimes get different items.

If the vendor doesn't have enough gold for you to sell items to, just give them more (don't exceed 4,000 or it can cause issues). In console, select the vendor and type -
additem f 4000

If you're going to cheat then just cheat, don't use a justifiable excuse just to make yourself feel better.

Either:

1) Just spawn the items you need and toss the gold if you want to justify it and actually save yourself time.

2) Use the speed up wait/sleep time "exploit" and waiting those 48 for a legit refresh takes less time than the hit vendor and quick save/load cheat

3) Just travel around to different locations...

[alexander_dougherty]

you can even add gold with the additem command.

Where did this even come from?
I didn't justify anything or said it's better or worse. It's my preferred way to play the game instead of console commands.

It's not directed at you, rather everyone in here: If you have nothing of value to say, don't say anything. It costs you nothing to not type.
I know of the other methods, but I asked about a specific solution to a specific thing. I don't need 3 people to say "jUsT cHeAt GoLd LmAo" when I didn't ask for it.
I resolved the problem myself now with editing his relations and bounty alliegiance to whiterun now.
And am a bit salty because thanks for nothing. Steam forums at its best.

You were saying that is save yourself from waiting for the normal vendor refresh which is fine, no one cares if you cheat/exploit in Skyrim we're just saying that you might as well just save yourself more time and just spawn in the items you need if you need to use a built in exploit to cheese it.

And while it isn't a solution to your specific problem I did provide imo a better/quicker solution that doesn't involve exploiting the game or breaking it like it did with your save which is to open the wait menu and drag the slider over to 24 hours and continue to hold then after pressing enter quickly slide it back down to 1 and the 24 hours should go by in about 1 second, do that twice and there is your 48 hour reset.

But honestly you really might as well just use the console to find the item code for what you need then add or spawn the item, time is meaningless in this game after 20-30 hours and you save yourself the time of going around the vendors.
