Haarlock Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 I've modded my game pretty heavily, and now it won't let me use followers. I talk to them, tell them to follow me, they say yes, and then keep walking around like nothing happened. How do I fix this?
gamefever Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 You have installed multiple mods that effect the Companionhousekeeping.src and Pex also there's a Quest varient can't remember what the script is called off the top of my head. Thing is your never going to fix that Save Game. Since you did not post a load order I can't point out the problem specifically and have to guess -You likely installed UFO, AFT, with a number of smaller companion tweaks mods. Never install UFO or AFT togetherNever install companion AI tweaks, extra options, ect with UFO or AFT unless the Mod Author says they will work with those.-Don't ever expect a tweak to work with UFO or AFT even though the author claims it will work-could be out of date, very often I see out of date tweaks in the Load Order

gamefever Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Im ot even sure what XFLMain is??? Leveler'sTower may be out of date, Faster Van Horses shouldn't be with Convenient horses Also you need to get away from using Steam Problem with Steam is that it autoupdates your mods which is almost always bad to do. Updates can, have and often do kill SaveGames!

gamefever Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 The trouble with updateing is like this. Your playing your game with Gamefever's Icecream Cone.ESP downloaded from SteamWorkshop Now Steam Workshop only cares that you have the most up to date version of my Mod. I decide to upgrade my game to DragonBorn.ESM But then I find out that my Icecream Mod does not work with well with that DLC becuase they changed the weather mechanic's to make them more stable. My Icecream Mod runs a script that determines if the Ice melts. So this is really important to me becuase my mod stopped behaving properly. So I update my mod, to work with DragonBorn Now your game downloads my mod automatically and your starting to experience crahes immediately. Mybe I'm smarter than that and I make it check to see if you have DragonBornor mybe I don't, mybe I let the mod stay as is and I don't update to work with DragonBorn Worse still mybe I decided that the Sprinkles on my Icecream cone mod needed to go but those sprinkles relied on a script. Now your SaveGame has a call function -The call function asks for sprinkles but I removed that script becuase I optimized it or thought it was lame.-The call function fails to find sprinkles -The game then percieves a "critical error" sprinkles not found-Game crashes

Look, I just completely re-did all of my mods, with NMM (was doing manual install before). Haven't tried it yet, but before I do, I want someone to tell me what the XML files are supposed to do.
