Skill stuck at 0

[Googungus]

I recently noticed that my enchanting skill is stuck at 0 even tho it was around 40 before and now anytime it levels up it says 0 and the level bar does not move. Anyone know how to fix this?

try google or youtube. if it doesnt help, im afraid you'll have to start from scratch just like what i did because of the liberation of skyrim quest bug.

If you do have to start over then do not add or remove any mods after starting the new game. Also make sure any mods are for the version number of Skyrim you have.

I've had a similar and yet different problem before with restoration where after sitting down in a chair, my restoration level went from level 15, all the way up to 186. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Anyway, there's multiple ways to try and fix it using the console.

player.AdvSkill <skill> <#>

This adds flat experience to the skill to raise its level, so extremely high numbers or using the command multiple times may be needed to raise the skill level. This simulates getting experience to level up that skill, so it will level your character up as well.

player.incpcs <skill>

Similar to the one above, except this is for simply adding one level. This will also level up your character.

player.setav <skill> <#>

This will *set* a skill to be the level desired, without giving your character experience.

player.modav <skill> <#>

This indirectly changes your skill level (can be a positive or negative) number with a red or green number, like a buff (or debuff).

player.forceav <skill> <#>

This forces the skill to the number set and it uses permanent modifiers to do so. This doesn't level your character up necessarily, but even if the skill levels up, it will stay at the set number. Your skill level will show up as green if it's actually below the number, to white when at the set number, to red when above the set number like a buff/debuff. This *will* fix the problem, but obviously creates another problem.

Unfortunately im going for achievements and I cant use console commands cause then I'll lose being able to get them

Console Commands do not disable achievements, only mods do.

The console says this because using the console in certain ways can make some achievements impossible to complete, so they put in a less than clear message. The commnads listed by Sairek are "Safe" to use.

I recommenced using advskill. For advice using it, start with a lower number, a few hundred and see what it does first before going higher, some skills require insane amount of xp where as others require very little. I do not think enchanting is a high xp level skill.

I use console commands all the time (especially for screenshots) and I keep getting achievements, so you'll probably be fine. Lots of other people report that console commands have not disabled achievements for them, either.


Worst case scenario, make an extra save, do the console command fixes on one, and see if you get achievements with the fixes.

Best case scenario? You've fixed the problem and can continue to play like nothing happened. Worst case scenario, you're just back at square one.
