Nothing like Covid self-isolation to help you catch up on things like old FMs. As long as I've been around here, I still have played maybe just six or seven FMs. Well, Day 8 of quarantine brought me to Seven Sisters and what a treat!
I won't say how long my Night 1 mission was, ***cough 4+hours, cough***, but being stuck in my room made me look through hell and highwater for that last zombie only to reach out finally and find a clue from Lady Rowena herself, right here in this thread.
Two more days and I'm free. Night 2 of Seven Sisters will be tomorrow :)

On "Night One" in Rufus's Room there is the key to Maya's place. I cannot pick it up. It doesn't highlight. The book beside it highlights fine. Is the another way to her place?

You can only pick up the key after having read the book on the desk, are you saying it highlights but you can't read it?
Can you post a save please.

When I entered the room, I blackjacked Rufus. Then I went to the table. The key and the book were close together, but only the book was frobable. So I read the book. After that I tried to pick up the key, but it wouldn't highlight. So I couldn't pick it up. I shut down the game and restarted but that did not correct the situation.
I would post you the quicksave I made showing the problem, but I'm not sure how to send it from here. I don't see attachment options. Did you want me to send a link?

zip up a quicksave, post it on a file sharing site, click on the world icon in the banner of the reply to thread, paste in the link for the save.
Would like a save as there does not seem to be any problem with the key, it's doesn't have a small frob distance attached to it, so should easily be picked up after reading the book, I didn't have any issues picking it up, so if your save works with me it may suggest it's your install that's the problem.
PS. What is your set up? T2Fix or Darkloader?

I use Darkloader.

I went to a video walkthrough (Klatremus"s "Lets Supreme Ghost Thief - Seven sisters-Night One" and found the part where I'm stuck (3:19:51), and he picks up the key BEFORE reading the book. And the key easily highlighted!
It also looks like I can't "noclip" my way through the locked door. That's a nice feature to have when you get stuck for whatever reason. In Dark Mod, you can escape these problems.

Your problem lies with Darkloader, it's an old FM loader and you will experience problems developing in your game over time because it gets bunged up with crap left over from previous missions played, this gets worse and worse over time.
The only advise I can give is for you to stop using Darkloader entirely, use a modern loader such as FMsel, NewDarkLoader or Angelloader. But you must also re-install your Thief game, that way your starting afresh with no rubbish in your Thief folder, then restart the mission from the start (Darkloader saves don't work with modern loaders anyway), not only will you stop coming across unintended bugs, FMsel based mission loaders now comes with in excess of 300 dml's automatically loaded fixing 1000's of genuine bugs.
Which modern loader you use is entirely up to you, (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149706) Angel Loader is hugely popular but (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146917) Newdark Loader has an interface which is almost the same as DL, so you may initially prefer that one. Also make sure you patch your new Thief install with (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149669) T2Fix checking both Common Script Modules and T2FMDML package if you want to automatically load all currently available FM fixes.
I checked Dromed and that key is linked to the book which must be read before the key is available. Watching Klatremus' video he had highlighted the book before picking up the key, this is enough to unlock the key to make it available for picking up.

Sorry, I made a mistake. I'm running NewDarkloader v1.4.3 and Thief 2 Final 1.25.
If you follow Klatremus at half speed from when he enters the room, he sneaks from Rufus toward the table. At the very first encounter he sweeps by the key/book, and the key definitely highlights before the book.
When I played, I blackjacked Rufus first, then went with leisure to the table. The book highlighted. The key didn't. So I read the book, from beginning to end, then tried to frob the key. It didn't highlight and I couldn't pick it up. While waiting for your responses (thank you for that btw) I tried entering Maya's place an alternate way or looking for another Maya Key (this was a copy, maybe an original is somewhere else). So far, no luck.

And another happy convert to modern loaders. :D
And no you didn't make a mistake, you weren't to know, but I'm glad you took my advise, all you need to do now is uninstall Darkloader from your comp and forget it ever existed.

That's the only key to Maya's apartment.

I was running Newdarkloader before I started this mission. I mistakenly said I was running Darkloader when you first asked. So the problem isn't my setup. Did you get my link and did the key highlight for you?
Klatremus made reference to a similar problem a few messages ago
People seem to have had weird issues with this campaign in NewDark. I'm playing Night One now and my problem is Malthus' journal and the 4 coin stacks behind that banner won't highlight. I believe I need to read that journal in order to finish the mission. I don't have any .dml installed nor did I tweak any scripts. Playing ND1.27.
Edit: Never mind. Removed the old tnhscript.osm from the FM folder and now it worked. I didn't even have to restart the mission, just restart the game and load the save.
I had no problem with the 4 coin stacks, but I also removed tnhscript.osm from my FM Folder. Didn't solve my issue.
