My character is stuck as essential

[JosephRussell]

Hi there,

Bit of a weird glitch here - my character is stuck as essential. If I lose all my health, instead of dropping dead, I crouch down like essential NPCs do when defeated. If anyone can work out what causes this and/or how I can fix it, I'd really appreciate it. My load order is as follows:

• Skyrim.esm Active
• Update.esm Active
  • Bash Tag suggestion(s): {{BASH: Delev, Relev}}
• Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp Active
  • Bash Tag suggestion(s): {{BASH: Delev, Relev, Stats}}
  • Note: If you using version 2.0 of the unofficial patches but you see this message you need to download this file: userlist.txt. After the download you need to copy this file to your 'BOSS\Skyrim\' folder or add the contents of this file to an already existing userlist.txt. Just ignore this message after updating any preexisting userlist.txt or copying the file to your 'BOSS\Skyrim\' folder.

ugh I can't believe no one replied to this for 3 years and I too am having the same problem with no solution. :wallbash: The only lead I have is resetting my character with recycleactor or resurrect.1 but doing that means removing all active effects. If you haven't already given up or heard these suggestions, you my want to: setessential (player base ID you find out by typing help and whatever player name you gave yourself) or uninstalling and reinstalling.

My dude Faken. You're a bloody lifesaver

Hey, I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out why I cannot die, and then I remembered something out of nowhere, I had challenged a member of the companions to a duel (might have been a mod thing) but when i went out into the yard she never showed up so i just went on my merry way. So I went back to Jorvaskrr and talked to her (she told me i hit a civilian so she wins, dunno why) and boom, my mortality returns.

just open console and PLAYER.RESETHEALT then its no problem and u will keep crouching like essential npcs instead of die, but it seem like u become immortal with this command
