Addvar and Greta are essential???? FIXED

[Jenny]

Okay so these two wont die. I want to adopt Svari from them, but they have to be dead. However when I tried to kill them, their health just regenerated, and im more thn capable of killing with in one shot with my bow.
I have a lot of mods, but nothing as far as i know that would cause this. I honestly have no idea how to even narrow it down to what mod could be causing this if any.
I've also tried the conole commands to make them nonessential and to kill them auotmatically, neither one worked

Edit: Okay everyone I found out what the problem was. I had just managed to installed the update for Requiem along with SKSE and that fixed the issue. Idk what happened but they can now be killed! Thank you for the advice everyone, helped my realize that updates were a thing

You are a horrible person.

Now that's out of the way, mind listing down the mods anyway?

Not that I haven't done it... heh, heh.

Advar and Greta shouldn't be essential. There are mods that set NPCs to essential to prevent deaths by dragons or vampires. Might you have a mod that does something like this ?

[Zefram Cochrane]

Svari won't thank you for murdering her parents, and she knows. They always know.

Just thought I'd throw that in there. Have fun!

I have run for your lives mods, the dragon and vampire ones. But they shouldnt be making anyone essential, just make them run away.
I don't know if it would, but I also have requiem, not sure if it does anything like this.

Hmm.. test it first trough console commands. Open the console commands, click on Advar or Greta and type 'kill' If they drop to one knee means that they somehow became essential.

I already did that a while ago, so that's why I'm here. idk how to fix it though

I've done it too. But I was an evil scheming assassin. Mua ha ha!

In terms of Addvar and Greta, they are essential to the main story, so you need more than the console, you'll need to go into the Creation Kit to change their status.

How did you come to that conclusion ? According to the wiki they are not essential, therefore the CK would have no effect either.

Lakeviw extended
lakeview manor horse relocation

hearthfire attacks disabled
Run for your lives

Frostfall
horses gone wild
Wet and cold and wetand cold ashes
female mannequins mods (three that work together to make it work)
Adopt Aventus
Druid essentials

Okay that does make some sense since they are part of a side quest, but i dont think tht made them essensial in the first place. How would I go into this Creation Kit to change it??

Using the CK would only help if you know the mod which made them essential in the first place.

ah okay, thats not helpful then, since this is the first time with all of these new mods that ive tried to kill a regular citizen, idk at what mod it could have changed

[Zefram Cochrane]

Use the console, it's easier

Doh! I'm thinking of someone else. Never mind. Addvar should not be essential.
