so did beth fix the ash pile cleanup? caus my skyrim is riddled with dusty vampiric remains and i would like to see them gone.

I believe it was discovered that they don't clean up correctly, so no it wasn't really fixed as far as I am aware. There are a number of "clean up" issues in the game that have yet to be fixed.

I thought Patch 1.4 of 1.5 was supposed to address this?

Hold on, let me look it up.

It is 1.4:

Fixed issue with ash piles not cleaning up properly

Looks like Bethesda's back to the drawing board on this one...

There was a patch that said it was fixed, however people have been reporting that it still happens... just not as bad.

Ah... so it's a liberal use of the word "fixed."

Not surprised really.

Best you can do is try to wait it out and see if they clean up... I think it takes like 30 in-game days, does it not?

Ah okay i haven't passed the 30 day mark since i started DG so it might still clean up:) i hope it does since it just looks so out of place in my house (serenas thralls turning to ash in my house)
