Is this a known problem?

Are there any mods that fix it?

It’s not super important, but I wanted to mention it. I recently finished Sheogorath’s quest, added to the Elder Scrolls Online PTS server. In this adventure, Sheogorath decided to take a vacation on Nirn — and not just any vacation: he temporarily gave up his princely powers and took on a mortal form (yes, without his powers, the Prince of Madness is mortal).

The player’s mission is to accompany and protect him, but unfortunately, things go wrong.

Right from the start, a tome husk escapes with the prince’s power, which doesn’t really worry Sheogorath, who decides to carry on with his vacation as if nothing happened. In short, we go through a few adventures revolving mainly around cheese hunting, until we realize that the organizer of this getaway, a Daedra in service to the Mad God, was coveting the throne of the Shivering Isles.

We killed him and returned to base so Sheogorath could get his powers back — and that’s when things got interesting: the prince’s power took on its own identity.

It calls itself Foufou (I don't know how to say it in English, madmad?) and claims to be madness incarnate. Sheogorath even acknowledged that it was his mantle:

“Has my mantle ever sprouted legs and walked away before? How should I know? I do hand all the regalia of office down to myself occasionally, but it’s not like Daedric Princedom comes with a manual! Unless … is there a manual and no one told me?”

Yes, the Prince of Madness knows Sheogorath is a mantle, so… with the shell, Madness, and Jyggalag, you could say Sheogorath is a soul within a soul within a soul 🤯

Another interesting point: he even admits that thanks to him, pure madness is almost contained, and that if it were free it could ravage the entire world. Basically, one of Sheogorath’s roles is also to be a guardian.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

In short, these six quests were interesting.
