SluggoV2 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I haven't played Skyrim in about 2 months and decided to play a little tonight and I now have an issue with NPCs/Followers doing crazy stuff. It so far appears to only be affecting female NPCs. They now levitate, clap/applaud, roll there heads around their shoulders, stand with an arrow drawn but with no bow equipped, and they drag themselves around while contorting their bodies in a strange way. Has anyone seen this? I updated SKSE, and I updated Apachii Hair. I DL'd a couple new mods, but it uninstalled them and still had the same issues. Uninstalling Apachii Hair caused a CTD... I'll look into this further tomorrow, but I just thought I would come here and see if anyone knows of an easy fix. Thanks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoestring6 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I've had this too when I recently tried out the 1.6 patch. Very freaky behaviour. Although some males were affected too but only in that they lost their walk animation. Couldn't figure out what was causing it and after rolling back to 1.5 the problems vanished. I'd also like to know a good fix for this. Did wonder if it was from the Lady Body LB mod but there was no mention of problems in the comments section, and uninstalling all parts of it seemed too much of a faff.

SluggoV2 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Yeah, I seen a lot of weird issues that seem to arisen from the latest patch, so I was thinking that could be the culprit. Now to figure out how to roll back. and FYI... I don't have that mod installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluggoV2 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 OK, just tried it again and now it's only affecting the males...arms are flailing in the air, levitation, no walk animation, and NPCs being half way into floor... females are normal...this is just weird.

Shoestring6 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I backed up all the relevant files and folders beforehand in anticipation of problems, so rolling back was easy. Still, there are mods that depend on 1.6 that I want to use so will have to work out where the problem lies. Oh hell, it could take forever. I'll report back if I find anything.

JanusForbeare Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 ...b*****s be crazy... :laugh: I've actually caught a couple of my female followers doing similar things as well recently. I kind of like it though, gives them a bit more personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluggoV2 Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Thanks Shoestring, I hope that I can get this fixed. It is kinda cool sometimes, but when it keeps quest givers from interacting with the game, then the fun time is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoestring6 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) OK - found it, finally. It was defaultfemale.hkx in Data/meshes/actors/character/characters female. Removing it got rid of all the weirdness. Must have been left over from some mod I'd tried then failed to fully uninstall. I'd carefully uninstalled all the current mods. Obviously the 1.6 patch was rather less forgiving than the earlier patches. Hope this helps :) Edit: Looks like it might have been an animation mod: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/615805-/63112611 Edited July 13, 2012 by Shoestring6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluggoV2 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Awesome! I'll give it a try. I did have NMM freeze during an install...maybe that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
