After some thorough testing, I've found that using the 1.5 version, the file that is supposed to fix the crash in horse riding has the unfortunate error of causing you to crash immediately upon attempting to return to the main menu after gameplay, 100% of the time. This may also be indirectly tied to fast travel crashes other users have reported. Stick to the most recent version prior to this, which would be the face fix.
Addendum: If you are familiar with xEdit, run a quick auto clean on the plugin and this issue should be resolved.
I've noticed that the updated version (1.5) requires underdark.esm to function. I never read anything about this in the description, however. The instructions still say that it has no dependencies.
In fact, looking at this version and comparing the files to the other two, there are a lot of inconsistencies.
If I were to hazard a guess, the StokerWolff.esp from "The Vampire Hunter" mod has been uploaded here instead of a simple horse riding fix, as the file description pertains.
There is a new armour listed in the 1.5 file not found within the others, and in fact we never installed these meshes and textures when installing the main file. The same can be said of several more of the following issues...
There are books that point towards quests. Seven addition cell blocks (and that's not even taking into account sub-blocks). Two new containers. Only one creature. An additional combat style. I didn't even look at the dialogue. Two new enchantments. Two additional hair styles. Double the idle animations (because it's also taking Viconia into account). A new "ingredient" topic. MANY new NPCs. Two new quests (activators, more like). More in the Race and Script topics, and a completely new "Weapon" topic.
This isn't an update. It's the wrong mod. No wonder it crashes peoples games... Actually, just look at the esp file size. It's more than twice the size!
And when it comes to the actual "The Vampire Hunter" mod, well.... The Underdark file that it requires seems to have already been deleted from the site. It's completely unusable unless someone has that file laying around somewhere.
Update : I was able to fix the previous "Face Fix" version by updating the Sunsi and horse scripts and AI with the 1.5 version posted here. If anyone else wants to do this, that method is entirely possible. It's still not perfect, but it works at least.
Unfortunately, I had to disable this mod. Even this the update, I ctd almost every time I fast traveled. In addition, if I travel by horse, I would crash then as well. I really liked the look and behavior of Stoker. I really wanted a manly, fully-voiced, complex companion. There are a ton of female one, that fit the description, but not males.
The last time the creator of this mod posted anything was is 2013. Makes me believe he is no longer active in The Elder Scrolls, so I would not be anticipating any further development on the mod.
I can't get him to start the quest. I break him of jail, we get his things and then run down to the pub and that's it.. How do I get him to start the quest. I have his esp loading last. All the mesh files etc. are where they should be, but nothing happens.
I'm not sure if this is still active or not but I seem to have difficulties making Stoker equip his equipment. I broke him out of jail and got his equipment from the chest and handed it to him but he did not equip it. I took away his sack clothes from his time in prison and he chose to wear no clothing as opposed to his armor in his inventory. Is there anyway to fix this or make him equip his armor and sword?
Hi to anyone reading and can mod (unlike myself) I was wondering if anyone capable could please make a Stoker Wolff Companion OCOv2 patch? I'd ask Sultericdrums (if you read this Sulteric, I hope you can!) but I don't think he's been in the modding scene for a while now. I'd do it myself but I'm not very good at modding/construction set.
Years later I am back playing Oblivion, and Stoker Wolff still is by far my favourite companion and works beautifully. I am finding the Underdark hard to navigate but I love the effects and sounds that have been added
