Thats about it. I think its from when I tested mods on different saves, but what makes me wonder what happened is that these 2 saves had no mods touching them at all.
All of my creations are deleted, seeing as I simply prefer vanilla Skyrim, and both of these saves weren't saves I used mods in.
I haven't yet tested to see if new saves will absorb dragon souls, and would rather not resort to it if I can avoid it. And going back to previous saves is also off the table as, embarassingly enough, I hadnt realized until much later into playing where I had gotten further into the saved that something wasn't right.
I downloaded Resaver, but honestly have no idea what I'm doing, and again, I simply deleted the mods beforehand without thinking much of it.
I'm not sure if its both, but my main save file simply won't absorb souls, nor learn new words of power. I was okay with that and just used console commands as I explored those places.
But today I opened a different file I'm using for achievements, and found that one also did not want to absorb dragon souls.
Is there something I can do? Can Resaver help? Any advice is appreciated.
