You should have mentioned the guide earlier, it may have saved you badgering you directly with so many questions. Has the point of CTD been narrowed down to a specific section? For example, does a save made prior to stepping on the dais in the anchor bay work, but one made immediately after the quest has been marked as 'Completed' fail? Also try running the Save Game Script Cleaner. When nearby, a quest marker will appear pointing to the anomaly. The anomaly has an invisibility spell effect applied and is running.

Not that the proper weapon really helps since all I keep finding a spriggians and spiders, rather than the anomaly.

I have the special crossbow and steel bolts equipped, if that helps. I sometimes see random points pop up and vanish on the map, which I'm not sure if it's a bug or intentional hints, since I don't see anything that suggests there's something there splashes of footsteps in water, or any creatures moving. I'm now at Sky's Divide, doing the Warrior tower challenge hunt down the anomaly in the swampbut I can't seem to find whatever it is. It's really too bad a quest as huge and complex as this one never had a proper walk-through written for it. Thanks for all the help so far, by the way. How do I get there? A quest objective will have appeared in the miscellaneous section of the quest journal instructing to find Dimitri in Dawnstar by speaking to the innkeeper about his whereabouts. Looking back at the completed missions log, the complete quest does say, 'I need to go to sky's divide,' but I don't see any quest marker or waypoint on the map anywhere. I didn't see any new quests show up in my quest log, so I assumed that was the end of the content. My last complete mission was 'Defiance' where I killed you-know-who and took control as leader of the Euphoric Palace. Tarrius explains the functions in the final conversation.

What's with this maid missions thing, is that was never added in, or is there some special unlocking task? And how does one recruit more maids beyond the first five? The maid missions become available after completing the final quest, 'Odyssey. So just finished the main quests for the mod.
