Having problems when placing electrical wires onto pylons or well, anything really

[hyperactivechild]

When I go to place a wire from one pylon to another, I end up picking up the second pylon when the wire is placed, and other times, when i pick up the wire, my toon can't move, but the mouse controls the wire. I assumed it was a Mod problem, but I am still having the problem after going through the mods one at a time. This just started recently, within the last two weeks or so. It makes wiring a settlement a real pain. Sometimes when I place the wire, all of a sudden it will grab everything that wired item is connected to...walls, fencing, floors, i will end up with a huge chuck of whatever I'm working on suddenly selected and moved out of it's spot, with the only response being to hit ESC to drop out of the settlement work mode.

 

Thanks

 

 

EDIT: I have now lost all building menus except for the expansion cage menu, and the menu for crafting the machines (weapons, etc). No mods whatsoever installed. I found a thread on Bethesda.net that talked about the missing menus, but no concrete ways to fix it.

In my game the space bar connects wires to pylons. The e key picks up objects, and holding e selects multiple objects. Check your key-binding and see if you don't have the same key assigned for all functions.

Ya, it's the same with my game, and that's the first thing I checked, thought I had a sticking key or something. Thanks though ;)

No worries. Hope someone else might offer a solution. :)
