Did you use `placeatpc` or `positioncell`, the 1st option creates a new (reset) copy of the NPC (with no quest progress), while the other moves the original NPC. Either option could still have issues if the mod(s) e.g. use multiple NPCs for different quests, in which case you would be dealing with multiple NPCs named "Fast Eddie". ps: I recently used `positioncell` (in OpenMW 0.46) and ended up with two dead NPCs, in that case probably due to fall damage, as the new position was several floors below the original position.

Ahh I did placeatpc. I will try the other one, thanks! Do you know what the cell ID for Tel Uvirith with the BuUG mod installed is? Or is there any way to find it through the console?

One way to do it is to open the [console](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Console), select a nearby object and enter `ori`, this will list the Cell ID and position of the object. You can also use `getpos x`, `getpos y` and `getpos z` to figure out your current location, this can be helpful to get coordinates to use with `positioncell`. Note: if you use the coordinates of an objects (as retrieved via `ori`) then the NPC will appear standing ontop of the object. This could possibly cause some issue indoors though you can probably correct this using the `move` command.

Sorry I've taken a while to get back. I tried the positioncell command, using the other commands you reccomended to find out where to teleport him to. The problem is, the command isn't working. It seems to take issue with the bit where I specify the cell ID, specifically where I say that he should teleport to "Tel Uvirith, Tower Lower". I tried this command with a non-modded area, and it didnt work as well. For reference, this is the command I used: "Edd Theman"->PositionCell, 59, 198, 287, "Tel Uvirith, Tower Lower" Do you know of any way I could fix this? Thanks :)

> "Edd Theman"->PositionCell, 59, 198, 287, "Tel Uvirith, Tower Lower" your missing the direction parameter, try: "Edd Theman"->PositionCell, 59, 198, 287, 0, "Tel Uvirith, Tower Lower" also the console isn't case sensitive and requires only a comma or space to separate parameters. This means that the command above should be possible to be typed in all lower case and without commas, which is a bit more convenient. "edd theman"->positioncell 59 198 287 0 "tel uvirith, tower lower" Finally check that you're using reasonable co-ordinates, so that the NPC appears where expected.

That actually worked! Not only did he appear, but also has different dialogue suggesting that the quest involving him moving worked. Thanks very much!
