aela's "totems of hircine" quests wont start for me, despite the fact that im both a companion and a werewolf. ive done atleast 20 of her generic quests so i know i should have gotten a totem quest by now. ive tried to fix it in every way i know how but to no avail (side note, im on xbox one). please help! and thank you all for your hard work. ps: sorry if i didnt do this correctly. it wouldnt let me select "bug tracker" like the mod description says.

I am not sure where else to turn for this.. I have 2 issues with Hearthfire (I think) that are bugging me to no end. One has to do with Derkeethus running back to Darkwater Crossing even though we are married and I own Lakeview Manor (no other houses) and the other occured when I tried to make Aela the steward, where she will run back to Jorvaskr after being dismissed as a follower. I have tried practically every manner of fixing this that I could find, but nothing so far has worked. For a while, I was using a small mod to fix the issue with Derkeethus.. It worked like a charm and I never had any issues, but unfortunately there are no mods for Aela that I am aware of.. I installed USKP in hopes that it would fix the issues for good, but that does not seem to have happened. Link to the mod I was using: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/16006//? Upon seeing in BOSS that USKP should fix this issue, I uninstalled the Derkeethus mod and activated all the USKP mods as normal, making sure the load order was as described. I logged back into the game where I had saved with Derkeethus sleeping upstairs, only to find that he got up and immediately ran out of the house with a purpose, back to Darkwater Crossing yet again... I released Aela to see what would happen, and she also walked out on me. At this point, I have tried running in and out of my house to build auto-saves, then saving and reloading, setting Aela's job faction to Steward (addfac 00050922 1), even setting her to a housecarl and NOTHING works to get her to stay put.. Same with Derkeethus. The only luck I've ever had with him was from the aforementioned mod.. A few days ago, I uninstalled both Skyrim and Nexus Mod Manager, getting rid of all the components I could root out in my harddrives and reinstalled everything as fresh as I could due to an unknown CTD issue I had been experiencing for some time.. I then spent much of the week reinstalling the mods I used to use one by one to make sure there were no issues with them, so I am fairly certain there is no mod conflict... The only other mods, aside from the Derkeethus fix which I already uninstalled, was Sounds of Skyrim, W.A.T.E.R., Lanterns of Skyrim, and the Portal 2 mod, which should not interfere with USKP to my knowledge. I have no idea what's going on.. These are both issues that are supposedly fixed in USKP (At the very least the Derkeethus one is) and yet they aren't fixed in my instance. I will admit that scripting is not nearly my strong suit and so it is very likely I am doing something wrong here.. But what can I do to fix this? Attached is my load order, if you need it.. Will be happy to provide anything else if needed.
