jwheel8 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hey guys, first post here and I apologize in advance if this is somehow in the wrong section. Basically my problem is that I recently started combing through Nexus and the Steam workshop and picked up a good many mods, too many to really take note of. After installing the mobs and loading up the game I cam across a rather curious problem; my followers will not follow me. The follower I had in my employ at the time simply turned and walked home and wouldn't stay with me. I initiated dialogue and it indicated that they were technically still my follower (having the "lets part ways option") and even when I would "release them" and come back later and "get them to follow me" they would still refuse to follow. I tried this with some of the mercenary followers, none of which would physically follow me after I paid them their fee, and none of my Shield Bearers would physically follow me either (despite the fact that dialogue, once again, indicated that they should have been). Naturally I tried things such as fast traveling, waiting, and even loading older save games, none of which worked. Currently I'm at a real loss on what to do. Has anyone encountered this problem? Any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance, its much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnerman69 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Do you have any community made followers or companion mods or custom companion mods, mods that would change the AI in anyway? Edited August 31, 2012 by sinnerman69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwheel8 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Do you have any community made followers or companion mods or custom companion mods, mods that would change the AI in anyway? The only mods that I could think of that I have are: Duel-Combat Realism 5UFOFollower Trap Safety I've had UFO for a while and it never gave me a problem.

sinnerman69 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 try disabling [un-check] any recent mods you may of installed and play and see how your companion/followers behave!.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwheel8 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok, I'll go ahead and try and see if that works right now. I'm just worried that it might have somehow corrupted the game file or some such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwheel8 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 One quick note that may help, for some reason whenever I tell the follower that its "time to part ways" they will acknowledge that they will leave but upon further dialogue it acts as if they never left my service. Also, I had the: Dragonkiller Cart Mod and it seems to possibly affect followers. I'm pretty sure I also uninstalled it, yet it still gives me a prompt upon entering the game as if I had just installed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwheel8 Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ok, well, I uninstalled all of the mods I recently downloaded, checked, and it seems I was still having a problem. I then uninstalled all mods and tried again. The follower that I had when I first uploaded the new mods still refuses to follow me but other followers will. That said, it seems several mods have refused to go. Player homes such as the mod "Caste Greymore" continue to exist, despite the fact I disabled the mod and never actually did anything at the castle. In short, uninstalling all the mods seems to have "fixed" the problem with the exception that my first follower continues to glitch and I still get prompts from uninstalled mods. Any ideas on what the deal is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnerman69 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) if you manually install mods and copy [not shortcut copy's] the files to your data folder from another location, you may notice script folders, mesh and texture folder and esm or esp extension files, you have to remove them too when removing mods from your game, I don't use NMM because I keep a download copy on my desktop as reference to refer back to if uninstalling is needed!.. not all mods use meshes textures or scripts Edited August 31, 2012 by sinnerman69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdgora Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I was having the same problem once. I fixed it by changing the load order of UFO. I don't remember if I moved it to the bottom or to the top, so you have to try both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinnerman69 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 yes moving mods around in the loader helps and the basic one in the games launcher has up and down arrows to move or sort your mods in it's loader launcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
