Quest item bugged and I can't quite figure out console commands to add it into my inventory
This is my first time ever playing Skyrim. I have the unnoficial patch installed, perkus maximus, skse, immersive armors/weapons, convenient horses, skyui, some simple graphics mods(no enb or stuff that really needs tweaking), and a few other non story/quest altering ones. And all DLC of course.
TL;DR: I picked up the Elder Scroll(Dragon) from the dwarven ruin, only it doesn't actually go in my inventory and the quest marker is still on screen and the quests for both the main quest and dawnguard don't complete. I looked up the code to add it in through the console and it's not working.
I think it might have to do with me opening the astronomy thing but not picking up the scroll because there wasn't a quest marker and I didn't realize there was something to pick up, so I left with the scroll just sitting there, and then I figured out I needed it for both the main quest and dawngaurd quest so I remembered where it was supposed to be, went back, there it was with a quest marker above it, walk up and pick it up, it disappears but the quest marker is still there and the sound something makes when going into your inventory doesn't go off and it's not in my inventory either and none of the quests complete. I tried adding it through console commands but it wouldn't let me because it either doesn't recognize the item or it was giving me some other error(I forget what it was right now). Can someone help me out with what is going on? My last hard save is hours before(stupid I know) so I want to try and fix this some other way first lol.
Sorry for not tagging the post, I thought it would be like some subs where you are told to tag it after you post it.

You already tried "player.additem 2d513 1"? Make sure you have the parameter value "1", since without it the command doesn't work.
Well fuck I went back to try that and my save of the character with this problem is gone, I have to go back to my last hard save of him anyways :/ Fuck doing the soul cairn again.
Side note, a few days ago my cursor started showing up at the border of the screen when I move the mouse enough in game, do you know how to fix that? It's super annoying.
I actually had this exact problem not long ago. Make sure you have bBackgroundMouse=0 in your skyrimprefs.ini. I enabled bBackgroundMouse to tweak my enb easier but unfortunately discovered it was causing problems, so I disabled it again. Also make sure you don't have Raptr installed (no idea what that is, just came up from google search).
Oh yep Raptr would be it. It's AMD's game recording thing, they pushed a driver update a few days ago and I thought hey it's been over a year since I last had it and it last fucked up my games, maybe it's not a total POS breaking my games by now. I guess not, I'll uninstall it.
