Vilja Problem

[niteflier]

Hi All !!! I am new to the site and have looked around for some answers regarding Vilja dying in battles.

Played Oblivion for about a year now and decided to try FCOM . I reinstalled Oblivion along with FCOM Convergence Beta 9dot9,Fran,MMM,OOO,WarCry,Cobl and Bob' Armory.

Still learning how to use Wrye Bash. Did a bash patch (rebuild patch) after installing Vilja and some of Emma's other Mods.

Vilja's options menu, (make her essential) is enabled. When in battle, she seems to get killed, more or less immediately. I wait to see if she will revive but she does not. In the Console Command I can bring her back with a Resurrect 1. How would I get her to revive on her own?

Any help is Greatly Appreciated. Ken

Have other companions but Vilja is the best!!

How long it takes for an essential character to get back up after being "killed" is something that can be changed by mods. I'm guessing that one of your mods has made the delay longer than the game default. Assuming you really have set her to essential she will recover eventually.

If you find that she gets "killed" too often you might want to give her extra health from the options menu too.

You can change that in the bashed patch (Tweak Settings section) in Wrye Bash.

I actually have a problem with her being stuck in the painter's picture. She gobbled down the ingredient and became poisoned and now I can't summon her etc etc...

Oh, you must have had a maximum of bad luck!! That this of all things actually could happen is... well, I have to admit that I can't help laughing...

I don't remember how it works with the painter's picture - can't you return there if you leave?

If it is impossible, I think I would for this once recommend a little cheat:

She needs a potion of cure disease (or was it cure poison? I'm working now and I don't have access to the construction set on this computer).

You can open up the console and type:

player.additem 0000920F 1

(that's for Cure poison)

or

player.additem 0000920E 1

(that's for Cure Disease)

I was only level eight..I started over just for your mod here, so I don't mind starting over again.. no big deal.

Hehehe, that happened to me, too! Though I was a lucky bastard and Fergus still had one Cure Disease/Poison potion in his inventory.
Still, I wasn't happy to have to wait tree days (or was it even more?) in the picture for her to recover.

That's nice to know that Fergus was useful. But waiting for three days... hmmm
Vilja sometimes has terrible ideas. I haven't finished her alchemical quest.

[zella]

Sometimes Vilja does have terrible ideas. I let her lead the way and she went right out of the boundaries (where I cannot go) near Skingrad and the game crashed. I am not certain she caused the crash though. I am suspecting Win 7 starting something surreptitiously, or the anti-virus program.
There was no problem in Weye letting her show me a place, however. I realize that I need to be careful about what I do with her and save a lot. I had become lax about frequent saves. My new system requires Windows 7 and it does not seem to work as well for the game as did XP. I suppose that with any new friendship, you must make some concessions. ;-)

I've got almost the same problem. Exept i was in the middle of nowhere! -_- Vilja got sick after eating one of her ingredients and I gave her a potion. Then she said she was weak and after awile I left her and closed an oblivion gate nearby. When I came back she was gone and now I can't summon her and I cant se her on the map even though the original vilja quest is marked as active. Help me!
