📋 About This Mod
Capital Whiterun Expansion is an amazing mod. However, on my most recent playthrough, I experienced a bug during the quest "Ode to the Tundrastriders". Once I had given a bucket of dye to Urik, the game was supposed to spawn a bucket of dye to interact with. However, this bucket did not spawn in my game, leaving the quest softlocked without console commands.
To fix this, I modified the script to skip this step altogether. Instead of spawning a bucket you need to interact with, the game now skips a quest phase and all you need to do is activate the cow. No plugin, works on existing saves, and should work with all versions of CWE.
Technical Info:
The only thing changed is the stage to be set in the script file.
It goes from this:
GetOwningQuest(). SetStage(16)
GetOwningQuest(). SetStage(17)
Doing so skips the quest stage where the dye bucket is supposed to spawn so the quest can continue as normal.
