Can't use workbenches

I have this exact problem after installing a few mods, at first I thought they were the cause but I disabled all mods with no success, I even reinstalled the game which didnt work either. I loaded a save from 15 game hours earlier which seemed to work but I would hope there is a solution before redoing everything. Ive seen a few threads on various forums with this issue but no responses on any of them. Anyone have any ideas?

Going to reply to this so people may find a solution because I could never find a definitive solution and had to figure it out myself. This may not solve everyones problem. My issue was my characters ai had been turned off. You can still play normally and interact with doors and fast travel and whatnot but you can not access any workbenches or terminals. To fix: open console, click on your character. Make sure 000000014 pops up to validate they are selected. type in "tai" without the parenthesis. Should say whatever your chars name is ai has been turned on or off for example, mine said "Remi processing is on" thank god i messed around a little to figure that out because reloading a save...ughh

I'm in the middle of it, big time - cannot use terminals, work benches, cannot sit, cannot get out of power armor but can only get in. The only "fix" I've found online is to go back to a previous save from before the bug appeared. If you are at the start of the game then you are screwed, of course. I dread this fix as it will mean I have to go WAY back to near the start again because I'm about 1/3 of the way through the game as it is.

 

No one seems to know for sure whether this bug is tied to any particular mod or mods but the general consensus is that disabling mods won't work. IF you have a mod that caused it, it requires REMOVAL, not just disabling. I have a lot of mods going (about 150) but none of them should affect things like terminals, getting in or out of power armor, or using work benches.

 

IF your only problem is terminals not working, you can get around that with the Remote Terminal Hack mod. Instead of directly entering the terminal you stand in front of it and select remote hack instead and it will bring the terminal screen up on your Pipboy. Works for me with being unable to directly access terminals but it doesn't fix the other problems. I do wonder if the remote terminal hack could be modified to be a remote workbench hack so that you could bring up the work bench screen up on your Pipboy instead of the normal way...

 

UPDATE: I just put it to the test. I went back to a different save from a different character. Same mods installed. In THIS game I can use terminals, workbenches, but won't test power armor because it's a real pain to use get out of the armor when this bug happens (some console commands that I will need to look up again).
