ok, for some unknown reson, after leaving the brarrow in Ivarstaed i went to use the smelter at my home and it wont work. it zooms in like it should but nothing happens. tried the one in whiterun too, still nothing.

has anyone else seen or heard of this happening? i tried googling it, but only found 1 360 version topic,

i am using the latest verion of skyrim, i've re-instaled the patch, i deleted my one mod that did anything with teh selter (Vals Crafting Meltdown Alpha )and still nothing.

edit: just tried to craft something, i cant use any crafting station. i havent chnaged anything...wtf?

I had that happen before with the forge on 360. Try sheathing and unsheathing a few times then try to use it.

Haha, imagine the real world conversation if this were to occur:

Jlane409 - "Hello, is this smelter repair services? I need help, whenever I go to use my personal smelter nothing happens. If I look really hard at it it looks like it might work, but it doesn't. I think it's broken, any suggestions?"

awesumsteve - "Well we have no standard procedures for this problem but I can tell you that this kind of thing happened to me before, and I fixed it by unsheathing and sheathing my sword several times. Worked like a charm."

Jlane409 - "..."

I'm no Bethesda Tech Support, just offering suggestions.

LOL!

I've never had that happen, so it must be something very simple - like the weapons sheathing.

It's happened to me. Exiting and re-entering the game seemed to work.

LOL... he forgot to mention the step in between. "Hit smelter with unsheathed weapon, then resheathe it." That way... you know.. it'll stop being aggressive and start working properly.
