Player Character and NPCs both unable to equip weapons

[Superdarkpit]

Equipping/Unquipping weapons in my Skyrim (Non-SSE) is weirdly bugged right now. For some reason, when I try to equip a weapon, it will often not un-sheath it. My character does the animation, but there's no sword in her hand and it's still visible inside the sheath. Worst of all, I can't use it. Pressing attack doesn't attack, and I can't even re-sheath it. I'm stuck in the combat stance unable to do anything but walk.

 

To be clear, this is not an issue of the weapon models not appearing. They're loaded in just fine, the problem is that I can't equip them.

 

At first, I thought this was just an issue for me, the player character. But then I noticed my follower, Lydia, wasn't attacking anything either. She just approaches them with full intention of attacking but then just kinda stands there. I then noticed she is suffering the same issue: she is unable to draw her weapon.

 

Occasionally this happens in reverse, too, where I sheath the weapon and my character goes back to her idle, except the sword is still in her hand, clipping through her body and whatnot.

 

Lastly, I suspect that this some sort of inventory problem, as using the "resurrect" command on affect NPCs or the player fixes the issue temporarily. It doesn't take long for it to come back, though. I am very sure that this isn't an animation issue, as I've already tried regenerating FNIS several times and even removing animation mods completely; That made no difference.

Note the still-present weapons inside the sheathes or the back.
