Everyone is having seizures at all times.

[thedodus]

So I've logged a billion hours and a billion mods on my first and only character...troubleshooted several minor problems myself, and everything's working fine with him now.

 

Today I went to start a new character in preparation for Dawnguard, and everyone is having seizures. From the first second of the wagon ride to the freedom after Helgen's Keep, everyone, including my character (unless I'm in 1st person view) is stuck in a weird convulsion loop that looks like they're simultaneously hurling and doing the wave with their arms. Most things are functional, other than the fact that all of the Imperials I killed in Helgen's keep levitated 4 feet off of the ground and continued to convulse, unable to be looted. I think Ralof took down a couple himself--these npcs did a different, weird imploding thing and crumpled on the floor in a weird yoga pose, kind of like Christopher Lloyd when he gets steamrolled in Who Framed Roger Rabbit except more disturbing.

 

I've looked everywhere online, including this forum for anyone having the same problem but have come up empty handed. The weird thing is, my first character is fine and none of his saves are or have ever exhibited this phenomenon. It's just the new character. All I can guess is that some of the mods I have installed cause the game to be FUBAR if used during the start? Or some animation file that's working great for an established character screws everything up if it's on for the intro? I've no idea.

 

If anyone has experienced this, figured it out, or otherwise has any idea what could be the problem, my currently shelved dunmer stormcloak assassin thanks you?

Glad to see I am not the only one. I just reinstalled and was loading my mods one at a time when it happened to me. Something tells me its an update gone wrong. Im gonna sit on it for today and try again tomorrow to see if it was something they needed to fix. I was pretty methodical in my reinstall and nothing I added would have just caused it to do that on its own.
