Wife

[petz]

I had lydia as wife then she died so i resurrected her with the console. Then some dialogues glitched with her. I also saw later when i slept that i didn't get the lovers effect. So shes apperently not my wife anymore, i can't marry her again or anyone else. The divorce mod doesn't even work.

No, reviving NPCs doesn't work. It likely messed up all the marriage and follower scripts.

What your seeing is the risk of using the to resurrect an NPC. There's a script that's supposed to trigger when an NPC dies, and one of that things that script does is change the way the game treats that particular NPC. So as far as the game is concerned, Lydia's been killed, so even if you resurrect her, you won't be able to interact with her in any way. If you continue with this, you risk SEVERELY messing up your game. It's not guaranteed to happen every time, but it's happened often enough that resurrecting via console is considered to be a very bad idea. A far better idea would be to load a save from before Lydia died, if that's possible.

Im sure there is probably some console command to restart the quests of followers or something to fix this

Try this; open the console, click on Lydia, then use those commands, one after the other:

removefac 51596
player.removefac C6472
resetquest 74793
resetquest 21382
setstage 74793 10

This should enable you to remarry, but it is of course not guaranteed. Lydia as a follower/housecarl/wife is unrecoverable, though.

THIS WORKED!
you're a lifesavor!


(Mind i ask what those commands do so i know for sure nothing else is changed?)
also Lydia is still my housecarl/wife AND follower even though you said its impossible.

Those commands remove you and your spouse from the "married" factions, and then reset all the marriage quests.

I meant that she won't work as a follower anymore after you've resurrected her.

You mean that her follower functionality was somehow restored?

[Altbert]

1. Removes the (selected) spouse from the JobMerchantFaction
2. Removes the player from the PlayerMarriedFaction
3. Resets the quest RelationshipMarriage
4. Resets the quest RelationshipMarriageFIN
5. Sets the RelationshipMarriage quest stage to 10
This last command ensures that the player has spoken to Maramal about the marriage ceremony after resetting the quest.

That was somehow still available after i resurrected her though.
Now theres only one problem left. She wont work at her "shop" and wont generate money.

Weird, resurrection normally breaks that. Maybe you had a follower framework mod?

That was part of the "divorce" package, but it probably broke even before that due to the resurrection. Try remarrying her?

[Altbert]

Resurrecting Lydia is a bad choice, unless you take other measurements. Do not resurrect unique NPCs unless you exactly know what you are doing, which I have explained in my guide, posted above.
You could try

addfac 51596

but it probably wouldn't last for too long.
