[EMERGENCY] I can't talk to anyone in Skyrim out of the blue!

Title says it all pretty much. When I sat down tonight to play some modded Skyrim that usually works just fine I noticed i couldn't talk to anyone else but children and people that can become followers. Please help me out because I'm dying to finish my companions quest line but it won't let me hand stuff in or talk to anyone. So NO one in the game is working except children and followers. PS ( important ) I don't mean talk like there's no chat dialogue I mean that I just can't press E on anyone. IT doesn't even show me the icon, but they clearly react if I bump into them or attack them. Answers/help is godlike appreciated so please even if you have an idea or a mod that could work that you think is slightly silly just please post it I'm desperate to play and I just want a solution.

 

 

What I've done -

 

Restarted Skyrim thrice.

 

Rebooted my PC ( windows 7 ) twice.

 

Spilt coffee over my desktop because I were stressed about this not working.

 

 

Best regards Otto. ( steam name Captain Cardigan )

 

EDIT Just to make it a bit more clear for people to make them understand that there's NOTHING wrong with my PC or keyboard or what ever It's skyrim itself or some sort of mod . I just CAN'T see the god damn ICON http://i.imgur.com/R1xUG.jpg nothing else no toddlers messing with my chords or grandmas f***ing in the closet It's just that I can't see any Icon for crying out loud.

Is your keyboard plugged in properly?? sometimes pets or children play with the chords

 

Did you download any screen savers, wallpapers or freeware, they sometimes install keylogger's?

 

When was the last time you defragged your drive?

 

What was the last mod you installed if any?

Does it work if you create a new game from the beginning?

 

Also, did you try turning off all mods and see if it works without them? Then you'll know if it's a mod that's causing it. Even if it worked before, something could have happened or been corrupted since last time you played.

 

There is also a ritual I usually do when I have problems with games that always works! Buy a whole salmon (or catch it yourself if you're hard-core), then find a flag pole and dance around it naked while chewing on the fish. Works every time! And you get a nice dinner afterwards (it's okay to eat the salmon, just put it on a fire for a while).

Right I've disabled the most recent mods I've installed because it would make zero sense if an old mod that has worked great for several months just started f***ing up right out of the blue . What I am about to do though is disable ALL mods just for shits and giggles but It can't be that anyway so that's probably unnecessary. And raggarolle I don't appreciate your horrible sense of humour that doesn't belong in a post that is all about helping, although I appreciate what you wrote before that but that's something I'm already looking into. What I've also done that I was really close to forgetting was that I verified the integrity of the game files and I also defragmented them.

 

 

Please keep the help coming because once more I'm quite desperate at this time.

 

Answers are appreciated unless they're a bunch of bull that doesn't belong in this section.

 

 

Best regards Otto.

I'm sorry my ritual didn't work for you :( Better luck next time!

 

Did you try creating a completely new game yet? Would be quite interesting to see if that works.

 

And about mods, it doesn't really matter if you had some that always worked before. If you install a new mod that happens to be incompatible with an old one, it could still corrupt your save. Although, that doesn't mean it will be solved just by disabling the mods. But it's not very hard to just disable all mods once and see if that works, then work from there. It always helps to rule out things and actually confirm that what you believe is not the cause really isn't.

 

Also, try creating a new game while all mods are disabled and see if that works. Like I said, it's good to know exactly what works and not, even if it's not exactly helping right now. It could help us understand the problem better.

 

Another thing you could try is to write "EnablePlayerControls" in the console. I think the command has changed since the older games, but there used to be a command "DisablePlayerControls" as well, which you could try entering first, then enable them again.

SOLVED! I found out what mod was causing it by having a chat with a friend of mine who is pretty much the all knowing when it comes to mods and it turns out it was THIS mod causing it '' http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=10160 '' Please stay the hell away from it and flag it to get it taken down. The name of the mod is '' Morrowindized Racial Skill Bonusses and Resistances '' and apperently it used to work but now it just corrupts your game. Thanks !
