Lakeview Manor is a nest of bugs.

I had such great plans for Lakeview Manor, but it all went wrong from the start...

I also had the Unofficial Hearthfire patch before I even made my current character, so I'm mostly bug-free

[cavefelem]

That's odd, I have that problem with the rack in the bedroom near the double bed. If the one in the cellar beside the stairs is going to have the same issue, I won't even bother building it. The one at the back of the cellar works normally, though.

I think I might make Sven essential. Somehow it doesn't fit his character concept to be armoured like a tank. :D However, I did give him a curved. Sword.

Maybe it's random racks inside the house? The one you mentioned (in the bedroom) works fine for me. O.o

Mmm... Curved... Sword...

Rayya dual-weilds 'em. Makes one wonder... /shot

My main character needs Rayya in her life ASAP. Dual-wielding gorgeous Redguard who doesn't whine about having to carry your dragon bones, what's not to love?

Oddly enough, on another play file I have no problems with Rayya, and the steward hasn't wandered off (which makes me think it may be an issue with Sven specifically). The weapon racks at Lakeview Manor are just as buggy, though.

I have no problems with Lydia as my steward. I just wish I could dismiss Rayya as a follower so I can see her sitting around the house and cooking and I dunno, playing with my kids.

Were you able to dismiss her and get her to move to the manor?

[cavefelem]

Yes, on the files where she actually appeared, she seems to function normally so far. It's either a fully functional Rayya or no Rayya at all. :/

Oh, I have UFO and I didn't think about it affecting the new housecarls! Makes sense. RIP Rayya.

[wisteria02]

I think it says on the UFO page that Rayya wasn't included in it, or something. I currently have her sandboxing in my fort as a sort of er, reinforcement to my Tundra Defense guards. O.o I don't want her in the house as she sometimes disappears without a word and I can't even use the consoles to bring her back. Also, she doesn't leave my service. @__@ I don't want to kill her either, as she's kinda hot and I gave her Ancient Nord armour. *¬*

I'ts probably the UFO mod because I'm in the same circunstances as you are. The only way I could find to dismiss her is to hit her till she leaves service (she won't attack you and return home).

[wisteria02]

^^ UFO released a patch that finally included the Hearthfire followers. Rayya is now perfectly fine. But in case of the bugs coming back, I'll have to try out that fix. Thanks!

[ext_1548773]

Excellent news. Thanks for tipping me about it, going to get it now. Cheers!

You're welcome!

Question: I play on Xbox and just got Rayya as my follower. Does this bug happen on xbox too? My character is lvl 45 and won't be needing Rayya as a follower after she tops out at 50.
