CassandraWladyslava Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 All of a sudden the guards everywhere are attacking me. I haven't stolen anything or killed anyone and I'm not a vampire or a werewolf. How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudedtruth Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Are you running Civil War Overhaul (CWO) or something similar? If you're running something like CWO and have joined one side of the civil war, guards from holds that are on the opposite side will attack you on sight (even if your bounty is 0) unless you're wearing armor from their side. Either stormcloak or imperial armor, depending on which hold you're in. If you're not using an mod that changes the civil war, then I'm not really sure what else it would be as I've never come across this before.

CassandraWladyslava Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Nope. Not running CWO. And I haven't joined any side anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudedtruth Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hmm, well to be honest I'm not sure why that's happening if you truly don't have any bounty nor killed anyone in front of a guard but escaped without getting caught. Occasionally, I've a related issue when I accidentally hit one of the companions while fighting the giant just outside whiterun. Sheathing my weapon didn't work and they kept pursuing me, and the only way I was able to calm them down way be using the console. You could try the commands listed below to see if this helps at all, it may not though so keep that in mind. Open the console(~ key) when the guards are hostile and type: tfc 1 <--make sure you type: tfc 1 :and not: tfc :leaving off the "1" will allow the game and all characters to continue like normal instead of being temporarily frozen.That will freeze the game and give you a free moving camera (after you close the console).Now move the camera right up to a hostile guard, open the console and left click on the guards body.Then type: resetaiNow do the same for each hostile guard, and once you're finished....In the console type: tfc 1This will return the game back to the normal state and sometimes by resetting the AI of hostile members of a particular faction, it will calm that faction down permanently until you attack and make the hostile again. This may not work though! The guards might just simply sheath then re-draw their weapons and start attacking you again. If that happens, I not sure what else to tell you that might help fix this other than start a new game, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassandraWladyslava Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 UPDATE: So I went back into the game to try a suggestion I found on another site....and the guards didn't attack me. I didn't do anything. So apparently just 'resetting' the game worked. No idea what happened in the first place...but at least it fixed itself. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
