Volikhar Castle Exterior Limbo?

[Soulmancer]

Bizarre problem... The exterior of Castle Volkihar doesn't seem to exist in my game.  First noticed when trying to travel with Serana by boat, I'd get a loading screen, then a split second where it looked like I had arrived, then immediately another loading screen and back on the shore in Skyrim by the boat.

I used tmm to unlock the map markers and tried fast traveling, exact same result.   I also tried coc DLC1VCCourtyardTowerExt and DLC1VampireCastleExterior01 and even COW with worldspace coordinates.  It just sends me to some weird limbo on the beach or in the ocean with a very fragmented castle and no other objects around.... any idea what the heck is going on or how to diagnose this?  The interior is working fine.

edit: from the main menu I can coc to the location fine, but if I start a new game in the abandoned prison via ASLAS. once I select my starting life and then try to coc to that cell then the issue occurs...

• In case I choose a starting location via new game and put the char into the word - then go to main menu and coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 again from there it will put me the same starting location the new game put my char :/
• from menu to riverwood to coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 not working - puts char back to riverwood
• from menu to coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 worked then to riverwood worked and back to coc dlc1vampirecastleexterior01 does not worked after riverwood

This is caused by Identity Crisis mod likely because of this...
