Companions carry capacity bug(?)

[topeira]

Hi guys.

 

I have two issues and i hope that at least one of those could be solved with your help:

 

1) my companions cant carry anything :(
i mean, if i place something on the floor and tell them to take it than they will without limits, but i cant trade them.

Is there a solution for this bug? (playing on survival BTW, but had this issue with other difficulties in another playthrough)

I do have a carry weight mod, but that problem didnt start immediately when i installed this mod. only a good few hours\days later.

 

2) My game CTDs. probably because of the "war of the commonwealth" mod, but i want to resolve this issue WITHOUT removing this mod, since its one of the most important mods i have. it feels like it CTDs when it tries to spawn something and the game goes NOPE... but i dont know....

If you want to know it it's "War Of The Commonwealth" that causes the CTD issue, then you'd best try loading the game with that mod uninstalled/disabled and check things out...

 

Same goes for your companions' carryweight troubles. If you have suspicions towards that mod that alters carryweight, then try the game without that mod. Simplest solutions first ;)

[topeira]

about WOTC i know that its the one causing the CTDs. i disabled it. it's not the issue. it's the fact that i wish to continue using this mod, but fix the CTDs. or, as a matter of fact, find what conflict it has with other mods that can cause the CTD. i know that WOTC causes CTDs when conflicting with mods that alter worldspace or something like that, but i can't disable ALL mods and reboot the game with one mod at a time and play for 3 hours to see if it crashes. this would takes more than 100 hours to test.
I'm looking for a more reasonable solution.

About the carry weight mod - again - i wish to stick with that mod and not remove it, and i know it's not the mod that did it because in my other play through i didnt use that mod and this bug happened still.

Open the console and type player.modav carryweight with whatever number you like behind it (setting too high, like ten-thousand or more, can crash the game when nearing that amount in-game). Problem solved. Be advised that the amount you type (like 1000) is added to the amount you already have, every time you change the value to a higher one (meaning; add a 1000, hit enter and exit console will give you 1200 when on 200 before the change. Entering console again and again adding a 1000 will set your carryweight to 2200, etc... ).

But i dont care about my carry weight. i care about my companion's carry weight. the companions are the problem. they cant carry ANYTHING i try and trade with them. only pick things from the floor.

THATS what i want to solve.

is there a console command that can dictate my companion's carry weight?!

[JimmyRJump]

I understand, but, when augmenting your own carryweight, there's no need for companions to carry any surplus you can't carry because of having reached your limit.

 

It is annoying though that the "trade" dialogue doesn't work as that can mean you don't have the option to make 'em wear the things you want them to wear...

 

Don't know the console command to set carryweight for companions, but I'd try the command without the "player" in front and instead click on the companion (while the console is open) to get his/her i.d. which would look like modav carryweight companion i.d.

 

Worst thing that can happen is you get an error message in the console which doesn't do any harm.

[topeira]

thanks, jimmyR.

I will give this console command a shot, though it doesnt seem like a legit command :P
I WANT restrictions on my carry weight. this is why i used the carry weight mod - to reduce my CW to 100 from 200.

Being forced to only carry about 4 weapons and only enough food and nades and armor to get me by is fun for me.

Anyway, you tried your best to help and i appreciate it :)
