Hum? I don't understanded really well but, if you are talking about the problem with the carriage at Intro, first Limit your FPS in 60. And if you are using Static Mesh Improvment Skyrim, download the Fix for the carriage mesh and everything will work. You don't need a mod to Skip this intro.

no he said Helgen was like Alduin wasn't even there he has the Alternate Start Live another life mod in his game and the quest to check helgen on why it was destroyed wasn't activating is what he means

You don't explain exactly what your problem is, because as long as you get to Haemar's Shame Barbas will be there.

Here's a link to the quest. There's a few bugs listed about Barbas and Helgen if it hasn't been cleared, with work arounds

Try these out. If they don't work then post back on here with more details about what's going wrong.

my bad didnt quite explain the situation but the quest works now, problem is i used this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=602186687 and helgen still intact, i was wondering if there was a console command to fix it because uninstalling the mod doesnt work. i dont think itll be an issue anymore but itd be cool if i could fix it

You shouldn't have used that mod, because it skips the first quest in the main questline without properly dealing with that quest. It should have been completed in the mod. Helgen should have been destroyed and all NPCs removed. Could console commands fix the Helgen situation? Maybe, but it will probably do you no good on the long term! Best way is to start a new game an use Skyrim Unbound (skips the first four quests, highly configurable) or Alternate Start - Live Another Life. With SU you can continue the main questline after absorbing a dragon soul. For ASLAL you need to return to the cave and rescue Hadvar to continue the main questline.

You don't have to enter the cave, just going near Helgen is sufficient. I normally retrieve a journal that's inside the city, but I don't think that's a hard requirement. Like talking to those people in Riverwood, I think you can just go straight to the Jarl after leaving Helgen. Either way, I personally don't ever consider going into the cave since their dialogue is all silent anyway.

OK. It was a long time ago since I used ASLAL and remember only returning back to the cave to rescue Hadvar from his bleedout position. Never knew it was not mandatory. Always used SU since it was released.

also there is an option to actually do the Vanilla start (Illegally crossing the border) when you use the Mara statue for ASLAL.
