AI packages and why they don't seem to work for me

Since my latest attempt to delve into Skyrim modding yielded less than satisfying results, I decided to go back to basics.

 

For some reason, certain AI packages don't work for me. And I don't get why. I have been trying for days now and finally decided to wipe my entire Skyrim installation and reinstall from scratch.

 

Here is my test case:

 

I tried to break it down to the most simple case possible: No other mods installed, no script extenders, nothing. Just vanilla Skyrim with the official DLCs. And Alternate Start so I don't have to play through the opening every time. Nothing else.

 

One single cell, an empty square room with nothing in it. The navmesh is also just one big square. Just type 'coc testcell' to go there.

 

The cell contains two examples of stuff that should work but don't.

  1. There is a scene where the player should be forced to walk to a certain spot. I put an XMarkerHeader to the location, set up a scene and gave him a package that just says: Travel there. But when I start it, nothing happens. I added another NPC to the scene that also gets this very same package. And for him, it works. While the player stands around, the NPC walks towards the marker! And I have no idea why.
    Type 'startquest testquest' to get it running.
  2. The second example is also in that cell. There are three more NPCs. Two of them have the keyword "TestTarget" on them. The third has an AI package that says: "Travel to linked reference, keyword TestTarget". But he doesn't. Like the player, he just stands there.

 

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what. I read everything I could find, I watched tutorial videos that did the same things and it worked for them, I took a look at other mods and could not see anything that they did differently.

 

Could maybe someone please take a look and tell me what's wrong? Or at the very least if the mod works on other machines (then I would know it's something local).
