Completly stuck

I have not been able to get past week 2 of the Grim Reaper event. I've tried reinstalling, updating and even removing my mods and cc, but nothing happens. I tried loading a new save, but it didn't make any difference either. 

Has anyone got the same problem? I really want to complete the event and get all the items. I already have a dozen of Anglefish in the fridge, along with multiple Deathflower plants in my garden. I've read the Lady's Book and summoned the Grim Reaper through the Grimmophone a dozen of times... Which is annoying, considering the event is waiting for me to 'reel in the first ingredient' and to read the book. I've done it! Several times! AGH!

Please help!
