Are you finding Alternate Start causing problems too? I think I'm having problems with Hearthfire building and code errors because of it.

I'm having a simular problem to this but my house isn't appearing when I try and build it. Any idea whats causing this? How or did you fix yours?

Maybe I could send you my savegame and your magic gnomes could fix mine too?

Thanks again for the reply but, unfortunately, I've already gone through that procedure. Reverting it is, luckily I have a few backups. EDIT: Blast, even my oldest savegames are corrupted with this problem. I'm wondering if it wasn't a virus planted in by a mod to corrupt savegames.

Crap. Thanks for the reply. One more question though, what caused this? I know it'd be a bad mod but how can I track the culprit?

I look forward to seeing your log to see if it has any of the same issues mine is having. Good luck!

My game has been having some major lag and stuttering issues related to one savegame and when I record the logs it says...

Ironically, I am indoors when this is occurring with no dragonflies around. The logfile is about 500MB and the savegame is about 25MB (after doing a clean-save process). What on earth is causing the DragonFly critter to bust my game, how do I fix it, and how do I prevent it from happening in other savegames? There a console command or a script I can use to fix it?

Here's what I've got in my log. [10/17/2012 - 04:23:53AM] Error: Unable to call UnregisterForUpdateGameTime - no native object bound to the script object, or object is of incorrect type stack: [None].critterdragonfly.UnregisterForUpdateGameTime() - "<native>" Line ?

Any idea what this "dragonfly" critter is all about or how to disable it and fix this?

Be careful, I have a similar modlist to you and have been having the same problems. I think, if you're like me, your savegame size may be increasing and, eventually, lag and delays in things happening (ie. wood chopping and follower commands). I still haven't fixed all of it but disabling Alternate Start and Guard Overhaul (theoretically) helped. Actually, my followers downright stopped working until I disabled the Alternate Start Mod and I do love that mod. I think a lot of mods just aren't Hearthfire compatible yet. What's your savegame size progression? What is the current stuttering you are experiencing? Also, I've got a pretty nice rig with good video memory, game runs darn smooth except the stuttering when activating or doing certain things.

Yeah, I've been having issues since Hearthfire was released, likely going to have to just start a new game soon if not fixed. I'd love to know if there is a mod conflict list for Hearthfire. I know that I've been having problems with Player Head Tracking (and related mods) or Guard Dialogue Overhaul and, most importantly, the Alternate Start Mod. But I'm having another huge problem with general game stuttering and some recent and major savegame bloating (from 16MB -> 24MB -> 40MB in minutes). EDIT: Also, ensure you don't have any house mods or shadowing or shadow fixing mods that could conflict.

Try disabling Alternate Start - Live Another Life.esp. I know it doesn't make sense or seem logical and, frankly, sucks but I had almost the SAME problem as you but it started with NPC's not responding to any commands, I think I caught mine early but I'm still having some stuttering. I don't think it's compatible with Hearthfire yet.

Does Ambiance Music Overhaul cause savegame bloat like Sounds of Skyrim did? Also, do you have Hearthfire and Dawnguard installed? Many of those mods may not be compatible with Hearthfire or Dawnguard. I had or am having a simular problem as you. Do you find delays when ordering followers around sometimes or for scripts to actually kick in? Or is it just random stuttering? Also, make sure SKSE is updated to most recent version as well as any ENB mods.

So, I've been reading up and looks like the Sounds of Skyrim Mod has been a terrible culprit for savegame corruption (something I'm also having a problem with). My saved games were around ~25MB and upon deleting that mod and saving I'm down to a manageable 16MB (level 40 character). http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1375181-relwip-sounds-of-skyrim/page__st__60__p__21220914#entry21220914 Unfortunately, that isn't fixing my followers issue. However, I have been noticing many other oddities from other characters. People will sometimes lag when doing things, appear to bounce around, and quests sometimes feel like they are activating slowly. I'm starting to consider that this may be beyond just my followers and effecting ALL scripts. Furthermore, I believe that my followers scripts are not entirely broken but being delayed as after five minutes of gameplay Lydia's inventory actually opened (randomly) after asking her in the past, not getting a response, and moving on to a local pub. Unfortunately, that's unplayable for me. EDIT: Starting to look like its something between Alt. Start Mod and Amazing Follower Tweaks. EDIT: Problems appear to be caused by the Alternate Start Mod. Since it's been disabled everything is working pretty well. Quite unusual. Looks like a Dragonfly is causing my problems.

Since obtaining Hearthfire and the most recent patches I've discovered that I am unable to command companions to do anything. I can get them to follow me (usually) but when asked to dismiss or goto inventory they simple do not respond, the screen remains on the dialogue option and doesn't progress. If I dismiss the screen nothing happens, they'll just keep following me. I've only seen this behavior with Lydia and Jordis but I think I had problems with the fella in Riverhelm or Riverwood... that Rivertown in the beginning, so I believe it's effecting all NPCs.

Any help would be appreciated, I'd love to play Hearthfire as intended with this particular character.

Sounds fantastic and like your plan is off to a good start.

I recently encountered some savegame corruption similar to this (savegames went up to 20 MB). This may sound weird but try the console command "showracemenu" and change like one thing (ie. beard or hair). This shouldn't mess up quests or stats but seems to clean up some corruption issues. Not much to go on but helped me. Also, I've heard Sounds of Skyrim can cause problems related to savegame bloat and corruption, maybe your audio mods are doing the same?

I'm having a similar problem to this one. My followers seem to follow me but don't do anything... I cannot dismiss them, check their inventory, and I don't think they attack anyone. Anyone know of a way to reset followers? Also, in my case, get into their inventory? I'd thought my issue was due to mods but now I'm uncertain. Are you using any mods that could be conflicting? Also, what should the load order be for things like Dawnguard, Hearfire, and Update?

Ok, I guess I'm missing something here. I load up my game but nothing is different. Code example... Weapons=(iType=eItem_AssaultRifle,...Properties[0]=eWP_Rifle,Properties[1]=eWP_Sniper,Properties[2]=eWP_Heavy,Properties[3]=eWP_AnyClass,Properties[4]=eWP_None,Properties[5]=eWP_None,... Does AnyClass need to replace rifle or is it in the wrong order or do I need to start a new game? Thanks again.

Ok, so following the idea on this thread I tried to make the basic military outfit into a Armor Deco for Kevlar. Basically I added this to default content... ; Deco only needs to know where the first variation is, the rest is calculated. ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar0) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar1) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar2) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar3) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar4) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar5) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar6) ArmorDeco=(Armor=eItem_ArmorKevlar,ArmorKit=eKit_Deco_Kevlar7) And then added into the DLC X-COM Content file... +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar1,ArchetypeName="Body_GenericSoldier.ARC_Body_GenericSoldier") +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar2,ArchetypeName="Body_GenericSoldier1.ARC_Body_GenericSoldier1") +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar3,ArchetypeName="Body_General.ARC_Body_General") +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar4,ArchetypeName="Body_Bodyguard.ARC_Body_Bodyguard") +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar5,ArchetypeName="Body_Bodyguard1.ARC_Body_Bodyguard1") +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar6,ArchetypeName="Body_Scientist.ARC_Body_Scientist") +ArmorKitPackageInfo=(KitType=eKit_Deco_Kevlar7,ArchetypeName="Body_Engineer.ARC_Body_Engineer") It registers there as being something like seven available decos but doesn't actually display anything new, just the default Kevlar armor (without any extra stuff). I figure these must be defined somewhere to distinguish them more. Any ideas or thoughts? On another note, in a modding test run I copied a female head to male, it works fine though hairs don't always show up properly. However, their heads are very tiny on the huge male models. This game is moddable... just gotta figure out how it all works. EDIT: More research has possible indicated that I need to add a .upk file for the above entries into the "DLC>CookedPCConsole" folder. Where does one fine these .upk files and, assumedly, how do I extract them? EDIT: Nevermind, found them in another "Core>CookedPCConsole". Placing them into the other "CookedPCConsole" and seeing if that enables them. Still uncertain how it'll distinguish the armor from male to female without some sort of setting. Perhaps thats set in the .upk file? Nah, that'd be too easy... EDIT: Yeah, I figured it wouldn't work and it didn't. I'm thinking, where are the ArchetypeName defined?

Alright, so I pre-ordered X-COM from STEAM and was wondering, how many options per armor should be available under Armor Deco? For example, I believe the basic default body armor gives me two options (or is it 3?), same for Carapice (or whatever it's called), and Skeleton Armor. I enjoy having a good bit of variety in armors and was wondering if there should be more armor variety or if this is expected. Also, is there any other ways to increase the number of armor deco options available? Thanks. Can't wait for the modding community to really dig into this game.

Nice. Any downside to putting the eWP_Sniper or eWP_Heavy on all the weapons (except things like shotguns and pistols)? I'm assuming an Assaulter wouldn't be doing Headshots without the skill.

Good luck with this. I'd love for my Sniper or Heavy to be able to use more firearms. Note: I don't know about the shotgun as a secondary though, imo.

I'd love for the Heavy or Sniper to use the Assault Rifle and also love to actually PICK their class instead of the random assignment, especially for making my friend's soldiers. Also, see about adding more and new skills to those trees. I'd love a bit more variety. Good luck!

This'd be awesome and would be more appropriate then the default body armor, IMHO. Regarding women, suspend your disbelief. I don't think a female model would need to be modified very much, just use headswapping!

Awesome mod, definitely going to give this a try]. One question though, is there any way to add other armors or outfits into this? For example, is there a way to add the basic NPC soldier armor or the black suit? Regardless, I think this is a big step for modding. Thanks!
