NPCs attack with fists

[Deleted22670204User]

Yeah I got the problem that NPCs don´t seem to use modded/mod-added weapons when they have them in their inventory, instead they attack with fists.
However, if one NPC kills another and takes his inventory(BOS killing super mutant), he will use the weapon he just picked up.
I remember having this problem a long time ago but I don´t remember the solution. :ermm:

 

Can someone help?

 

Here is my load order.

Personally, I think it´s a bit weird, but I used LOOT to sort it so I guess it should be fine...?

Other than your load order being a mess from using LOOT, you need to make sure your companions have ammunition for the weapon they are carrying. If they don't have ammo, they can't use the weapon. The weapon must be maintained or they will drop it and use whatever is available. Be it melee or unarmed.

 

Your plugins need to be grouped together and in the case of multiple plugins for the same mod, they need to be in the same order as the vanilla game. There are some exceptions such as StreetLights and .esp files that have an .esm header. FWE has a sample load order available on the description page.

 

Or to make life easier, use BOSS to sort your load order. http://boss-developers.github.io/

€: Actually the new loard order might have fixed it, loaded up a game and it seemed fine... I will report back if the problem still exists :blush:

 

No I don´t mean companions, sorry, I mean enemy NPCs like Super Mutants. And they do have working weapons and fitting ammo in their inventory. They simply don´t use them.

I dimly remember something like making a bashed patch, could that be it?

 

And back to BOSS it is. :laugh: I only used LOOT because on the BOSS page it says "Using mods for Skyrim, Fallout 3 or Fallout: New Vegas? We recommend using LOOT instead."

 

New load order seems a bit more practical.

Sometimes newer isn't always better. More so when it applies to an older game.

 

You might be having a problem with MMM since the Blackened patch only works with the Paradox Ignition version of MMM. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/16787/?

 

If you are using that version, you don't need any of the MMM .esp.

[Deleted22670204User]

Ok thanks, I use the PI version now :-)

SupermutantWeapons [FLST:0003A15E] needs to be merged. You need a merged or bashed patch anyway for your WMK DLC plugins to work.
