Skyrim -- Vilja in the Mind of Madness

[OldRPMDaddy]

Quick question, since I'm not so sure what to do. I just completed the Mind of Madness quest with Vilja at my side, chattering incessantly. The thing is, when Sheogareth sent my character back to the Blue Palace, Vilja did not come back with me. Using the Vilja Summon spell did not work; I got the message "You cannot summon Vilja right now," or something like that. I even tried having Vilja meet me at the Winking Skeever, and that didn't work either.

Has anyone else run into this problem, or have an idea what to do about it? Console command or something?

The problem should be gone with ver 1.4, but that probably doesn't help you now.

Instead, open the console and type prid XX0012c4

(enter)

Now type in console MoveTo Player

This should bring Vilja to you.

HOWEVER. You have to replace the XX in XX0012c4 with the first two digits in Vilja's ID, i.e. the ID that shows up if you call up the console with her activated. Now, you don't have Vilja around, so you have to use something else from this mod instead. For instance one of the bottle-thieves who I assume are in Riverwood, or one of the dunmer ladies at Hlaalu farm (if you have played that far in Viljas storyline) or the khajiit in Bees and Barb in Riften.

If you don't have access to any of them, call up the console again and type coc AAEMDummy1

This will bring you to a hidden cell with many objects from the Vilja-mod. activate the console and click on one of these objects or npcs in order to get the correct digits to replace the XX with.
After this you can open the console again and type for instance coc WhiterunBanneredMare which will take you to the Bannered Mare.

Thanks, Miss Emma. That brought her right back! Fortunately, I could go back to a previous save where Vilja was nearby and work out her ID that way.

The other alternative was to go back to the save prior to entering the Mind of a Madman, but that quest was a little dull, I thought.

I also had this problem, and fast travel brought her back to me without any troubles.
