Way to clean up Hjerim after the 1.4 patch

the-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

According to UESP, the 1.4 patch included a fix for the "…issue where the player house in Windhelm would not clean up properly".

However, after applying the update and loading a game where I'd already completed Blood on the Ice and fully upgraded Hjerim, my house is still a mess!

Is there anything that needs to be done to trigger the cleanup? Or, is this something that is only fixed for new games or games where the quest has not yet been completed?

Best Answer

The fix only applies to saves where you haven't yet encountered the bug. If you're playing on PC, you can use the console command DF492.disable to clean up the mess.
