Vilja in Fingerbowl Cave

[jgf]

According to the UESP wiki the UOP adds another level beneath the servant crypt in Fingerbowl Cave (this exists, but wasn't implemented, in the default game). UESP does not show this level on their maps, but it is accessed via two trapdoors in the servant crypt area.

Why does Vilja not follow the player to this level? I tried several times, at each trapdoor, even moving a considerable distance away from the ladder to see if she would appear. She never does. If I go back up the ladder she isn't there, but will soon appear running in from a side tunnel. I did not try summoning her from the lower level; knowing this game there's no telling what odd side effects this might have.

One reason would be a missing path grid...try using the console command TPG to see if the grid is complete on both levels (red boxes).

Good idea, but apparently not my problem

FWIW, Vilja will also not go into the caverns beneath Fort Doublecross.

Another update. Vilja would not follow to the bottom level of Broken Promises Cave.

Perhaps there is something in her scripting or in the game dynamics that prevents her from descending below a certain level? Or maybe she suffers from bathophobia?
