Hi - so I'm looking for a mod that replacing SLOG residents AI with something more mainstream. Some of the residents are "worker" and most can't be assigned tasks in - say - sim settlements, and will not break away from their default "stand around with hoe and animate hoeing the land". Even if that land is under a building. I'd like to replace the SLOG residents/ghouls with an AI package that is more like the settlers that have just arrived: can be assigned duties, do not have default animations they must do but follow animation placemats etc.

yeah, from what I've seen out there, it happens, but no one has really tracked down why and it's not common. I've been loathed to start again incase it was a "number of mods" issue and just occurred again at some distant point. I have no idea why the game would forget your mods, load the game, uninstall all your stuff, then re-enable the mods *AND* DLC quests. I figured that this must be some form of hardware (load time?) or configuration issue, so I've been reluctant to just start again until I understood why this is happening.

All - I've got a bit of a head scratcher and searching aorund on the internet I'm seeing a few people having the same problem, but no fix. Hoping you can help, otherwise my game is bjorked. On a PC, with mods. Latest patches, latest version of the game, FSE etc etc. Everything has been fine and dandy up until this last weekend. --- When I loaded my saved game, I was suddenly flooded with mods installing themselves seemingly for the first time (pop-up messages, notifications etc) *AND* quest alerts popping up for quests I've already done ("listen to such-and-such radio" for example). Dozens of them. It is like the game forgot that I had these installed/completed already. It had DELETED everything to do with any mod: sim settlements, rifles, armor, Heather (companion); all gone. My position in the world was intact, but basically anything to do with mods was deleted, and then the mods reinstalled ... so they were present ... and any quest like "investigate XYZ" or "listen to XYZ radio" was reset. I went back about 6 saves before this stopped happening; about six saves ago (2-4 hrs of gameplay, so nothing major) this behavior stopped and I thought I was good. I carried on playing, got close to catching up with where I was previously and left it. Came back yesterday, latest save, AND IT'S DOING IT AGAIN; deleting all mod content, resetting quests, behaving like the mods have just been installed for the first time. I have tried reducing my .esp count.I have removed extraneous files from my data folder to get my count down (I read somewhere this is related to the issue?)I tried using NMM to "reset archive invalidation" (no idea what that actually does)Used LOOT to verify no conflicts and to get the load order sortedVerified that my mod list .txt file wasn't read-only. Then I tried read-only; basically toggling it.Nothing is helping; it's like my save is loading before my mods; it deletes everything from the game that came form a mod, it's resetting DLC notifications related to the radio (Nuka World, Mechanist, etc), and THEN it reloads the mods ... the mods are coming in a way last, but at that point everything is deleted and reset.Any ideas what's happening?

Most of these people aren't modders, they just want to call themselves modders. The proper tools aren't out yet and the heavy hitters haven't had time to come out with the inevitable GREAT content. In the meantime, we'll get inundated with data tweaks, retextures, and patches that don't actually patch anything.

This has nothing to do with mods. I have encountered the same thing (still stuck infact!) and no mod has ever been near my install of Skyrim ... NO MOD (not installed and uninstalled, I have never had a mod on this PC for Skyrim. Fin.) Tonight I turn into a vampire lord and can't access my favorites or revert or use any other power. I eventually return to the castle thinking that I just need to feed to regain my strength, and no matter what angle I feed on, crouching or not, zoomed in or not, quit our or not, save or not, and I stuck in place when starting the feed. Nothing works and nothing breaks me out of it.
