donnylicious Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Has anyone noticed that when you fast travel or enter a city at night, all the npcs seem to spawn and then head to their house to sleep? Even thought the time is 1-4 am? They should already be sleeping. Anyone know how to fix this glitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got any mods installed? I have 1.4.2I have a bunch of texture mods, and some other mods which shouldn't be interfering with ai: like Smithing Overhaul, Horse whistle, realistic water textures, glowing ore veins, etc. Nothing like new dungeon mods or new quests or anything like that. I thought it was vanilla actually, nobody else getting this? Edited February 7, 2012 by donnylicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anya29 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think they always do that if you fast travel somewhere, they are just resetting. Same as going to a village during the day and pressing the T key to wait till midnight if you have a contract to kill someone in their home. When midnight ticks over and the game is live again they are still out in the field tending their crops but within a few seconds they walk in to the house. The only people I have seen actually disappear as the time ticks over are those on walk past routines such as guards or other NPCs. I've always noticed it.

Brandy1123 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yesterday my game kept erroring out. On load it said it was not upgraded. I enabled the pasthrough on my firewall and watched it do its load through STEAMy pile. it still crashed to desktop. I reloaded it, vanilla style and started it up. several of my saves were corrupted (probably due to mods). After about 2 hours, I started noticing the NPC's spawning at night. Specifically in Whiterun. The forge at the main gate opened as did Belethor outside his shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
