Please, make sure you READ THIS before asking me for help. I'm not a 24/7 customer support hotline and the quest stages are the simplest things in the world, this is not a complicated mod, if it's not working it's simply an incompatibility from another mod in your load order and it will require manual tweaking from your side. For the record, I've spent a couple of days testing it in my 500 mod load order and never had an issue. I've collected more heads than I thought were possible, but if you keep bringing up the same issues again... I'm the one who's gonna lose his head.
COMMON ISSUE #1: ONE OF THE BOUNTY QUESTS IS NOT ADVANCING! - Well, that means you have an incompatible mod installed. Most likely a mod that adds custom rewards per bounty type. This is ALREADY included in my mod if you're using Missives (Vanilla and Missive quest rewards are synced). Just use the MCM of Missives to configure the reward. If you have another mod that modifies these rewards, it will NOT be compatible. Examples of incompatible mods that do the same: Bounty Gold SSE / Economy Overhaul / Perk Points & More Gold for Bounty...
COMMON ISSUE #2: THE BANDIT IS DEAD BUT THEY DIDN'T HAVE A HEAD ON THEM! - Same answer above. It can help to check on xEdit to see what's modifying the quest in question. If we're talking vanilla bounty quests, the quests are called BQ01, BQ02, BQ03 and BQ04. If you want to use those mods together with mine, you will have to delete their changes to these quests.
COMMON ISSUE #3: STILL NOT WORKING! - If you've done those things and it's still giving you issues, make sure the mods + patches are in the right order: 1. Missives/Notice Board, 2. Headhunter, 3. Headhunter + Missives / TNB patches, 4. SRC patches - Make sure the patches are ACTIVE in your load order (Sounds basic, but I've had 3 cases already of users not activating the plugins... If I was the Jarl, I'd put bounties on all of you! Just kidding, but please, check things from your side before contacting authors or we'll go crazy) - If you're trying to fix a bounty quest IN THE MIDDLE of a bounty quest, it's not going to work. Use console commands to finish this quest, fix what needs to be fixed, and try again. For vanilla bounty quests, this is what you would need to input to force-complete the quest (Bandits:) Setstage BQ01 200 (BQ02 for Forsworn, BQ03 for Giants or BQ04 for dragons)
COMMON ISSUE #4: QUEST IS NOT STARTING! - I do not modify the beginning or distribution of the bounty quests in any way, so I cannot be of much help here. From what I've observed in my marathon of 25 bounty quests to test that the mod is working correctly is: It's possible that if you capture or kill all bandits in a hold, the steward won't have more for you in a while. Teleporting to the location of the steward/Inn sometimes makes the dialogue option for "looking for jobs?" not appear, enter via the door of the Jarl's palace/Inn before talking to the steward or innkeeper for the option to show up.
Again, the mod works fine. If you have an incompatible mod, it will not work (duh). Follow the steps above if you're having issues, and send some love and cool screenshots my way if you're enjoying this mod so I don't lose my head.
i stopped getting bounty quests after killing a few bandit bosses.
i am using this with obis and missives
i ve been playing for close to 3 hrs and i am in whiterun region.i completed a few bandit bounties and a vampire bouny and now both the missives board and poventus avenicci have no bounty quests
So I installed Headhunter & Missives, but I still only get 100 gold per head and I don't see any options to increase the bounty in the Missives' MCM menu.
Anyone knows why? Is there another way to increase the bounty?
Hey can you add to the description or troubleshooting that it can/does require a new game? Would save a lot of time and I bet it would cut down on comments.
Installed it: Saw the modded text, killed the targets- no task to collect the head or ability get the head. Finished my current bounty, started a new bounty and it still didn't work. Waited 30 days and got the new bounty and it didn't work. Removed the mod, completed the bounty properly. Installed the mod again. Waited 30 days and got a brand new bounty, killed the target- didn't work.
Kept getting the issue where the head would not appear, checked my mod list and NO compatibility issues. Didn't work.
Followed the troubleshooting, didn't work.
Started a new game (Same mods) suddenly worked perfectly. This mod seems to require a new game to work. If there is a work around to get it to work mid-game that'd be nice to hear about.
Man i apply the notice board patch on my lvl 40 character and the steward doesn't accept the bounty and now it's just stuck on my journal lmaoo what a bummer
probably still does require new game. I couldn't get the head of the Rift dragon for Anuriel, saw it among bugs that were fixed in the latest version, updated the mod, STILL didn't get the head.
I can't get the Dragon Head to spawn off the rift Dragon bounty even in the newest version. Nothing's overwriting it, heck I put it on the tail of the load order just to be sure, killed the dragon again, no head. Maybe I'd need to take the quest again instead of just re-killing the dragon? Idk at this point..
adding skull to inventory manually doesn't help either as it won't associate it with the quest and Anuriel STILL won't believe me. /sigh
Patches for "Speechcraft and Yielding" and "Missives - Great White North" seem to be necessary. I am looking at it in xedit, to see if it can be done there. But I am afraid it will require scripting, which is out of my reach.
I'm having an issue where whenever I kill the bandit leader the objective to collect the head duplicates. I turn in the head but since I only have the one, the second instance of the quest cannot be completed and locks me out of starting any new bounties. Using The Notice Board with the patch installed from the FOMOD. Anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: I WAS WRONG. My load order was messed up and I used the setstage command to fix it. The dialogue for trying to complete the broken second instance will remain until I can turn in another head, but after that things are completely fixed. Feel free to delete this post, sorry for wasting your time jayserpa you're one of my favorite modders

How do we fix this? I've had this in my quest journal and I'd like to remove it by completing it or by using console commands.
Thanks.

Great mod though, fantastic for a new run!

It has an addon - Osurrender ( Ostim integration ).
adding skull to inventory manually doesn't help either as it won't associate it with the quest and Anuriel STILL won't believe me. /sigh
