I had the very same problem, and I'm on the vanilla game.
Can you rest/wait inside the library?
Or this "you cannot wait when enemies are nearby" message appear when you are trying to rest? If that's the case, then you must kill
all enemies inside the cave & tomb (the Old Way). Don't kill guards or/and the moth priest of course, as you can still wait near them as long as they haven't notice you
I highly recommend Invisibility or 100% Chameleon here (when you've enter the palace)
But I highly
don't recommend it when you're still in the cave/Old Way.
Just kill all enemies there (especially the two living Ayleid Guardian statues) to avoid the error "you cannot wait when enemies are nearby" message.
NOTE: I still get that message even after escape(mission failed of course-cannot sit in the library) from the palace (I got the message when I press the wait button inside A Fighting Chance). Fortunately, I still have one save just in front of the strange door leading to the Old Way.
And
unfortunately, I have advanced to the wrong rank of the Thieves Guild, so I can't get the Cowl.
At least this always happen to me,
on Sancre Tor, Miscarcand,etc
I just want to pick the Armor and Great Welkynd Stone, without kill any enemy.
After exiting the ruins, I try to fast travel, but can't, so I ran to a nearby town and try to fast travel from there, still can't
the only option was to load a save before entering the ruins.
