as a follow-up, took a video of what he does in my game. He’s up there with the baliff. Sometimes the armorer roams around in his pajamas while the baliff sleeps and sometimes the baliff is up while the armorer sleeps. The armor appears incapable of leaving the bedroom. Most of the time he tries to change into his day clothes, then quickly reverts to pajamas and goes back to sleep, as you see. Seeing the corpse made him curious enough to not go back to sleep, but he still did not leave that room.
He is an indie armourer, just be patient and wait until he feels like working, ok?
Can’t see why you complain so much.

I’ve heard that the money from selling all the Henry’s hauled armor spoiled him and he started doing drugs not long ago. Sad to hear that it went so bad so fast

Ahhh I was wondering why the shop remains closed…
I will try to sell my things in sasau then until this is fixed.
For repairation, you have the weaponsmith still at work who is able to do the same.
I had the same problem until I entered an archery contest, 21 arrows. Guess who turned up and happened to win the contest? Yes, the armourer!
This was fairly late in the day, but the next day his shop was open again.
Try and lure him out with a contest.
oh great, I will try this one too.
Thanks for the workaround
I guess even the armourer got tired of all these bugs.

Warhorse suggested I try to reinstall without mods and retry. I’m weary about going through all the trouble, especially since this was not a problem before patch with the same mods. So let’s do a community survey/experiment. those who also have/had this issue, are you running vanilla? Mods?
I’m using the latest unlimited saves mod, sectorial lockpicking, restore halberds, and better targeting (which doens’t do anything/work with this version, methinks).
Absolutely no mods. And armoursmith is sleeping in my other playthrough too (I’m at the very begining). However, Bailiff doesn’t sleep there, unlike in my main playthrough. I gues they both have some terrible disease…
I’m having the same issue with the Rattay armorer door being locked 24/7…
This is a bug created by the 1.4.1 patch I can only assume since so many people are experiencing it.
Really hate that I gotta install a mod to work around this, but I guess until another fix is available I won’t have much choice.
Just curious, did entering a contest solve your problem?
Yes I wanted to reply, unfortunately it was someone else coming for the context…
I had to summon him using console close to the shop, somewhere hidden on the side of the house to take him unconscious and drop the body closer to the door (discretely of course).
Then a guard came to wake him up. The armorer goes back to his quarter but did not went back to sleep.
I tried to access the shop by the back door and then found the armorer there…
He was complaining that he is tired at the beginning but after that all seems ok now.
Good, but then you didn’t try the archery contest method?
I managed to replicate it, so it would be interesting to know if it works for others as well. It’s a less hardcore way of solving the problem, I think.
I tried the archery contest. Afterwards he went back to the Rathuas and went to bed.

ROFL!!!
That made my day Yukshee. Honestly, though this has to be a bug, and it’s a bit annoying, it’s a hilarious one.
Ah, too bad. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry yes I tried the archery contest, but it was not him there, but Konrad

So, I believe this is a bug to everyone 
Doesn’t using cheats disable achievements on steam though?
This bug is seriously annoying.
Does anyone know of console commands where I can unlock a door, walk in his house knock him oout and put him by the door during the night?
Seems easier…
Being killed is annoying, I understand why he is mad
