📋 About This Mod
The Bug
Sometimes, the object responsible for ending King Olaf's Fire Festival can get stuck in the "Done" state without actually finishing the Fire Festival quest. This causes many Solitude NPCs to get stuck celebrating the festival forever.
Description
Whenever you leave Solitude for another exterior cell, this mod will restart festivalendscript when it is in the "Done" state while MS05KingOlafsFestival quest is not actually done. This will end the festival after 15 seconds if the ending condition is fulfilled. This works retroactively.
