I want the NPCs to stay still, all the time

[Trevmeister]

Hello! I'm trying to pose NPCs from the game in my house so they look like furniture almost (I don't intend to sit on them but I think you know what I mean). I'd prefer them dead so they don't talk. I want them to keep the idle no matter if I reload or leave and return to the cell.

 

Whenever I try to force an idle on a live NPC, they just break it after a while and resume normal activity.

Whenever I try to force an idle on a dead/zombie NPC, they follow me around in the idle, or break it to follow.

 

~tai is nice but they t-pose when I return, so that doesn't work.

 

The only thing that's reliable is the wall shackle idle from FNIS, nothing can break it. That being said, I don't want to put everyone on a wall shackle.

 

Can anyone help me? Is there a mod for this? Been trying at this all week. Thank you!

I'd place them on top of an idle marker and give them a sandbox package around editor location with a tiny radius (something like 32-64)

 

Edit: using a script with the onload event you can prevent pushing the actor

and add the default block activation script if neccessary

I don't know what this means. Thank you, I know what you said probably works, but I've never delved into the creation kit.

Is there a way to do this with console commands?

AFT has a feature that allows you to do that.
