icemage24 Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) As the title says, I can't grab/drag/move items. Game is at version 1.6. Pressing and holding down my "activate" button, E, doesn't work. Unless they changed this, I'm stumped! I've been trying since yesterday to figure out why. I've disabled all ESP/ESM except Skyrim.esm and Update.esm, but the problem still persists! http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/5459/grabnotworking.png Here's my mod list. Each one of those (including unchecked ones) are enabled in my game. My game works 100% fine other than holding E not working for grab. It's worth noting I'm in the tutorial with Ralof after killing the Imperial Captain. Trying to pick up bodies, carts, cabbage, bowls, weapons -- but nothing works! Not in 3rd person or 1st person, and not with other buttons on my keyboard. I've tried all the letters and I've tried mapping additional keys for it, like E, R, Mouse 4, Mouse 5, etc I've tried disabling a bunch of mods that aren't esm/esp, I've tried getting rid of a lot of asi/dll/skse/dragon script mods, got rid of the byproducts of interface hard coded tweaks. Tried a clean save, tried a save downloaded from nexus, tried resetting controls to default, tried setting the repeat rate on my keyboard up, tried having scroll lock/caps lock on and off, tried restarting computer... you name it. I seriously don't want to have to reinstall/reformat to fix this. Anyone know any conflicts with the mod list that I'm over looking? I've disabled quite a few things already (including all the Dd mods "lift" mods). Edited June 27, 2012 by icemage24
Cassial Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Finally! I am not alone! I thought I was the only person having this problem, and I've been having a hell of a time getting help for it. I'm farther into the game, so it's not limited to starting in the tutorial. I've found, as well, that if you reload a save where grabbing things did work, the second you enter ANY kind of menu, it ceases to work. This is super frustrating! After disabling all my mods, grabbing DOES work again for old saves where the problem never existed. New saves affected seem to be permanently affected. The odd part on old saves is, after I enable all the same mods one by one, grabbing still works. For about twenty minutes of gameplay. Then poof. Same issue all over again. No SPECIFIC mod seems to be causing this, from what I can tell. I've been trying to make it work since the update came out, which is when this s*** all went down. Edited June 27, 2012 by Cassial
icemage24 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 Wow, now I don't feel so alone. I'm unsure what I can do. I'm considering reinstalling Skyrim despite the pain and effort it would take.
britefire Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 As a very costly work-around, you could try the alteration spell telekinesis, though that is probably too much trouble.
Cassial Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) I experimented with telekinesis. While it does lift objects, there's no gentle way of putting them back down! Unless there's a mod that turns telekinesis into some kind of decoration spell to manipulate objects, it probably wont help much! It's amazing how such a silly part of the game is causing me so much grief. I really want to play but I find this bug too distracting! Edited June 27, 2012 by Cassial
icemage24 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) FOUND THE PROBLEM. I reinstalled, then all my mods. It was working fine half way through... all of the sudden, when I decided "huh, must have been something left over or something stupid!" It hit me again. The stupid bug. I wasn't about to be defeated. I removed every file from data except for folders and skyrim/bethesda default files. No dice. Then, I removed all the .ASI and .CFG from the root folder. Guess what? My favorite mod in the entire world was causing it: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=3198 Well, at least it's figured out. I didn't want it to be at the price of that, though. Oh well, I was only using the auto hp/mp/stamina growth. I guess I can get over that. I'll tinker with it a little to see if I can get it working. Edit: Okay, I've downloaded it from nexus again (or a newer version, who knows), and it seems to be working on any settings I use. Weird. Might have gotten corrupted by 1.6. Glad I can use auto perk/stats/levels now. Edited June 27, 2012 by icemage24

Glad I can use auto perk/stats/levels now. So re-downloading that mod should fix it, eh? I hope so, I wouldn't want to remove it! I love that mod. Edit: Confirmed that removing the mod prevents the glitch from showing up, but does NOT fix already affected saves. Furthermore, re downloading the mod did not help, and still broke saves. So I guess I must live without. Edit 2: I got it to work! Turns out if you disable the auto perk feature it messes s*** up. So I just disabled autoperks for every skill tree while keeping the main option on... Awesome! Edited June 28, 2012 by Cassial
