La Confrérie des Traducteurs

The campsite start was not set up to handle returning Ulfric and Tullius back to where they belong after the adjustments in version 2.3.1 were made.
Facegen data for the farmhouse NPCs needed to be regenerated due to having incorrect paths in the generated mesh files.
A dead crewmember for the shipwreck start that I forgot to place is now in the ship, floating next to his old bed.
Three more start locations for the Left For Dead option have been added. Skyrim is surprisingly crowded - these are getting hard to find.
Fixed a missing ownership flag on one of the snowberry bushes at the farmhouse.
Fixed the weapon racks inside the farmhouse so they'll work with the fixed rack scripts supplied by the USKP 1.3.3 update.

Upgrading From Version 1.1 or Older
===================================

When upgrading to version 1.2, it is necessary to uninstall the loose files from version 1.1 or older.

Version 1.2 now comes packed as an ESP+BSA combination since it is now available through the Steam Workshop. Leaving the old loose files behind will cause all of the scripting to break.

Use whatever mod management solution you're using to uninstall the old version, then install the new one. You won't lose any data and there is no need for a clean save.

Old files from 1.1 all started with either the ARTH or ART prefixes. They are all safe to remove. You should also remove the QF_MQ101_0003372B.pex file from Data\Scripts and also remove QF_MQ101_0003372B.psc from Data\Scripts\Source if it's there.

Upgrading from Version 1.x.x to Version 2.x - IMPORTANT, DO NOT SKIP THIS!
==========================================================================

Version 2.0 of the mod is a total redo, so nothing will match up. You cannot use it on an existing game with the quest in progress. So take care when upgrading.

If your character is currently still running the quest "Live Another Life" you *MUST* complete that using the version you have now. Set aside version 2.0 until every character you have that's using this mod has completed that quest by activating the burned corpse. Then proceeding with either rescuing Hadvar/Ralof, or by visiting the Jarl in Whiterun. When you see the message saying "Live Another Life" has been completed, you can safely remove the mod from the game. Civil war start characters will already be past this point and are the only exceptions.

If the character is using the farmhouse, you'll need to make sure you clean out any valuables you've got inside prior to uninstalling the mod. Sorry, but there's no provision for reassigning ownership to that afterward.

Once you've reached a point where you can do this, save your game. Exit, then delete the .esp and .bsa files. Load each game you need to remove the mod from, then save again in new slots for them. Once you've done this, you can either leave the mod out, or install the updated copy and activate it.

For new games, there is obviously no need to worry about this, but by new, that means not even a prison cell save you're keeping hold of.

Troubleshooting
===============

Nothing happened. I tried to start a new game and ended up going to Helgen. Again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure the mod is actually activated. Even if your mod manager tells you it is. NMM is notorious for lying to its users, claiming a mod is active, but in reality it isn't. Check with Wrye Bash, or with the official game launcher, to be sure that the mod really is active.

Help! I'm stuck at the main menu starting a new game!
-----------------------------------------------------

Skyrim version 1.9.29.0.8 or greater is REQUIRED for this mod. Be sure you're using that first. Update through Steam if necessary. Older versions of the game are not supported.

Mods that make large scale blanket changes to either essential flags or quest item flags may be blocking you from playing.

Check the Data\Scripts folder and make sure there are no copies of the following files:

dunPostHelgenEnableScript.pex, QF_MQ101_0003372B.pex, QF_MQ101DragonAttack_000D0593.pex, QF_MQ102_0004E50D.pex, MQ101QuestScript.pex, TIF__000D50CA.pex, TIF__000D50DB.pex, and TIF__000D50E0.pex

If these files are present, they will break the quest controls for Live Another Life. You'll need to figure out which packages installed these since they would only come from mods. Skyrim's own
files are in Bethesda's BSAs and get overridden by the ones in my BSA.

Verify its placement in load order. This mod should be loaded near the end of the list, not the beginning. BOSS has it placed appropriately and should be used if you are in doubt.

Help! I clicked on the bed and nothing happened!
------------------------------------------------

This can only break if you still have an old copy of this mod installed that used loose files instead of a BSA file. Follow the instructions in the section for upgrading from 1.1 or older.

The Live Another Life quest never finishes, it's stuck in my journal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Not exactly. The quest remains active because it's necessary for it to do so. Follow through on the startup quest in order to get rid of it.

My quest will close out when you've rescued one of the guys in the cave, or by skipping that and going to see Jarl Balgruuf about the attack on Helgen.

General Tullius and Ulfric Stormcloak are missing. You broke my game!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I did no such thing. You need to kick off the main quest before they'll be available. Sorry, yes, this means no joining the civil war until then. Don't blame me. Bethesda tied everything too close together to unravel the mess without breaking a whole bunch of stuff.

If you're looking for a bit of amusement though, you can always use the console and player.moveto yourself to where they are. You should recognize it Don't do this if you're playing serious, it could actually break something.

I found your burned up corpse and clicked on it, but nothing happens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

This isn't quite the problem it used to be since all you'll be missing out on is the journal, which is a good read, but not critical to anything.

If it simply refuses to work, just skip it and either go to the cave, or go to Whiterun.

OK, I did that, then went to the cave, but nothing is there.
------------------------------------------------------------

The quest marker isn't GPS accurate. You should be able to easily spot two poor hapless souls on the ground, doubled over in pain. That's Hadvar and Ralof. Go talk to one.

If these guys are NOT here, then you have another mod somewhere else that has overridden their AI priority and caused them to get moved elsewhere. Nothing I can do about that except raise the priority on my quest scripting. Load order cannot fix this.

No, you don't get it! A whole bunch of pieces in the Helgen cave have gone missing. What have you done!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn't me! No, really, chances are this was the fault of TESVSnip.

As of version 2.0 of Live Another Life, causes for this are coming from other mods that have likely also been run through TESVSnip.
That program has turned out to be dangerous and cause data loss due to improper handling of compressed record data.

If you are having trouble with this problem (commonly referred to as "blue voids") check the readmes of your mods for mention of TESVSnip, sometimes simply referred to as Snip.
Remove those mods first. Check the cave. You'll likely find the problem has resolved itself.

Only the mod's author can correct these issues, and they'll need to do it by rebuilding their work without using TESVSnip on the files.

I walked by the farmhouse and the game crashed.
-----------------------------------------------

That's probably navmesh related. This mod is now compliant with Skyrim 1.6.89 and on its own won't have this issue, unless you haven't updated your game. That's the first thing you should check.

The second thing you'll need to check if that doesn't solve it are mods that have not been updated for Patch 1.6. The change in navmesh data formats is enough to make older mods that edit navmeshes invalid and cause CTDs.
