Just returning to report about the dragon to the Jarl in Whiterun, he makes me a Thane but Lydia doesn't appear. I've done this part about three times, so I know what to expect. I've tried player.moveto a2c94 and Prid 000a2c94.moveto player with no success. I've load a save from a previous game with Lydia and tested player.moveto a2c94 and it worked. Then loaded from the same game before I got Lydia in Bleak Falls, then tried player.moveto a2c94 and it gave me the SAME error I get in my current game "Object ID not found".

I'm guessing she is not being enabled during the Jarl's conversation, unlike the Axe of Whiterun which is being given correctly. Though, I think he just hands it to you, instead of it spawning. Is there some way to enable Lydia, even though the script is failing?


Thanks for any help.

Definately not there??? She usually for me appears near the exit door after you speak to the Jarl but once she was sat at the table eating. If she's definately not appearing then the console command enable should sort it

"enable (her code)"

You're using her reference ID instead of her Base ID, which is 000a2c8e

Are you sure she's not sitting at the dining table?

I thought she didn't spawn once, and she was sitting down at the table.

Using the REFiD is correct. BASEIds only appear in the game world as items inside containers. As soon as you drop it on the ground, a REFiD is created for it. Everything you see in-game is a REFiD. You want the correct Lydia, which is REFid a2c94. I've used this several times when she is stuck in the landscape or there appears to be a navmesh issue:

prid a2c94 moveto player 

If you don't see her when you do this, perhaps she is disabled:

prid a2c94 disable enable moveto player 

Other checks - she shouldn't be dead:

prid a2c94 getdead 

should return 0

You can resurrect her as a last resort

prid a2c94 disable enable resurrect moveto player 

If there is an error when you type

prid a2c94 

Then something is wrong. I can't imagine that she would not be a persistent REF. At this point, not having a CK, I can only guess. Do you have any plugins from mods? Right now people are hex editing them - maybe one of them deleted her?

Do we really need Lydia again? She annoys most of us already as it is, and is typically sacrified to a Daederic Prince.

I have the same problem.

Just go to into Breezehome, this will load her character.

Then use

prid A2C94enable

this will start her up.

Not sure when it broke. I restarted a new play through last night and ran into this problem.

As long as you have not entered Breezehome, she will not be initiated so your prid, moveto, etc. all won't work.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

JamesX you were correct, the only way to get her prid to activate was to enter Breezehome. The only mod I can think of that might have broken her is http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1726, is this a mod you used, also?

RickerHK I had to use most of these commands at Breezehome, none worked at DragonReach her Prid would not/was not active for some reason. Once inside Breezehome, even when I moveto her, it was into the sub-bedroom but either it was a marker or she was invisible, since I still couldn't see her. Then I disabled/enabled and she appeared.

If it is this mod HouseCarls Wear Clothing then I hope it hasn't deleted all the upcoming HouseCarls also.


Thanks again to all who replied.

Nah it just happened. It isn't something the Mods did. I removed all the mods and she still won't show up.

I ended up with a clean install, and still she won't show up.

It doesn't seem to affect other Housecarls. At least not the Solitude one. I haven't gotten homes anywhere else yet.
