Strange NPC behaviour BUG drawning and sheathing weapon constently

[kalhohan]

Hi, I'm facing a bug, which is becoming really annoying.

Hostile NPCs are constantly unsheathing and sheathing weapon or just stopping combat. It only happens on close combat, ranged attacks are not bugged.

I first this was on random encounters when "dawnguard vampire hunter" attacks me (better vampire) , it sheathing his weapon after attacking me and go away...

Now I see that also guards are bugged... I punched one of them and it unsheathe and sheathe weapon in loop attacking me.

 

Do you know if there is any mod that can cause the problem? I got a big list of mods, but I don't know which one can cause this kind of behavior bug.

 

Many thanks

I have the same problem. This bug is nearly a game breaker! My followers constantly unsheathe and sheathe their weapons too. Making them completely useless. Even followers added by mods have this bug. It seems that guards can still murder me though. lol.

I have the same bug, did you ever find out what was the problem ?

Does anybody have a fix to this?

Are you using a follower overhaul (EFF, UFO, AFT)?

Yeah, I'm using EFF. I'll try disabling it and seeing if it fixes it.

 

Nope, didn't fix it. My follower, Amalee, still constantly sheathes and unsheathes her shield. It's only with one-handed weapons, and seems to be only with shields. She has no problem taking out her one-handed war axe.

Are you using any alternate combat animations?

Did anyone ever find out what is causing this? this is happening to me. it happened after i installed and then later uninstalled left hand rings. I've narrowed it down to a conflict between Dual Sheath Redux and another mod. when i disable the Shields on Back option in Dual Sheath Redux the bug goes away as it's only npcs who use shields that this happens to. However, I would really like to have shields on their backs again for immersion reasons. Also, I read somewhere that it could be a conflict with body slot 60? i read that DSR uses slot 60 for the Shield on Back. So if you have another mod that uses slot 60 u might wanna check that. I downloaded bodyslots mod that tells u what items are in what slots but it doesnt show anything being in slot 60 when i have a shield equipped so I'm back to square 1.

To anyone this may help:

 

I had the problem where I was using AFT and some of my followers were following not supposed to be following me (aft had already dismissed them), yet they present both game and AFT text as if they were. they would also constantly unsheathe and sheathe weapons when I had mine up. Dismissing via regular dialogue and aft actions did not work.

 

The solution I found: go into the still active AFT menu (though it should not be active), go to pose, give them a pose, then pick at the bottom of the list "dismiss but stay like this". Then talk to them again and pick "AFT end pose" on regular menu (first panel), and select follow me. They will now be in your party under aft's management and you can dismiss/recruit normally again.
