My sprouce/Wife keep living in my old house after moving to a new one. Need help!
Ok! I have Lydia as a sprouce/Wife and when I asked her to move to my new house in solitude proudspire manor from lakeview manor she keeps living in the old house but the children moved to the new one. I want Lydia there too. Is it a way to fix this? Has it something to do with that she also is my housecarl or something? Need help! Please!

My home is your home = mod

I wouldn't suggest using a mod to get around a bug without trying other stuff first. So. Have you tried reloading to an earlier save, asking again and seeing if it works? Have you gone with her to the new house? From memory, last time I played a married character who moved, there was a little 'quest' to visit the new house with my spouse (although I can't remember, that may have been related to the fact we were moving into my spouse's house and then back to the house I *wanted* to live in, to fix a bug with the initial moving into my house...)

If she's staying in Lakeview rather than Breezehome, it won't be a housecarl thing (I think) but is she also your steward at Lakeview? If so, I presume that sets up a conflict and may force her to default to living at Lakeview (given you can't hire another steward).

Oh, technically these are mods, but mods specifically created to solve a lot of the vanilla game's bugs - do you have the Unofficial Skyrim Patch and any patches for your DLC?

Tryed the patches and reloading to saves before moving :(

I wil try moving to the breeze home with the family to se if it works

She won't move, because Proudspire already has a Housecarl asigned to it if you become Thane of Solitude, My home is your home will let you make Proudspire Manor Lydia new home, take her to the bed you want to make her bed, then go into her dialogue and pick the one that says LET'S TALK ABOUT HOME or something like that, tell her this is her new home now, and she'll say something like CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT.

If you're married to Lydia, she *ought* to live in whichever house, as far as I know. She's there as your wife, not your housecarl, so you shouldn't need a mod. (Which of course doesn't mean you won't, but I would do it as a last resort, myself).

Zefnoly May 12, 2014 @ 12:11pm 
She is a housecarl to and my wife
Zefnoly May 12, 2014 @ 12:11pm 
Don't know how or why but she is both of the things...

Yeah, she's still your housecarl once you marry her, but her being a housecarl shouldn't cause any problems with moving to another house, as far as I know. She's not your Lakeview Steward, though, no?

http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Lydia#Marriage "She can be asked to move to a different house, if a house other than Breezehome is owned."

ALL the houses have housecarls of their own, at least once you become Thane, so there's no reason for it to stop you being able to move another housecarl that you have married into your main home. Solitude, Riften and some of the others won't let you become a Thane until *after* you buy a house, meaning you don't get a housecarl. Have you become Thane of the hold Solitude is in? Haafingar, I think it's called. If not, that's why you don't have Jordis.

But Trigger, I try that you told me about but the ddialogue that says lets talk about home or something don't shows up, Just the dialogue that says (let us move somewhere else) that i allready used to move here.
Zefnoly May 12, 2014 @ 12:13pm

Zefnoly May 12, 2014 @ 12:14pm

Zefnoly May 12, 2014 @ 12:15pm 
And yes she is not my steward I think...
