NPC Pathing Bug

[GamerFR2608]

a few days ago the game suddenly acted weird and all the NPCs (regular ones, companions, some creatures) wouldn't move right

ex. Companions run in place for no reason (some NPCs do this too) and sometimes doesn't follow the player

I'm not sure what mod I installed for this to happen but I'm hoping someone could help me with this

it's become more annoying than funny, it's affected older saves too

You have too many files in your load order. You need to reduce your load order to about 130-135 plugins.

 

Start by removing all the disabled plugins, then check to see if you need all the optional files that you have installed.

 

Continue removing plugins until you get a stable working game.

Your load order shows 171 files. Also, many inactive files. This is too many. The game engine cannot handle this.

If you've got a lot of esp's try using this FNV Mod Limit Fix at Fallout New Vegas - mods and community (nexusmods.com)

If you've got a lot of esp's try using this FNV Mod Limit Fix at Fallout New Vegas - mods and community (nexusmods.com)

the mod's actually in the plugin list there, I'm using it right now, but nothing's changed

 

(edit: sorry actually deleted more till I hit 98-ish mods and now the NPCs work fine again)
