» Wed Jun 29, 2016 2:51 pm My wife and I have encountered a glitch in which the follower cursor appears after we use any enchanting table, armorer's workbench, or grindstone.
I suspected a mod was causing this, and uninstalled all mods and reinstalled the Skyrim Legendary edition to ensure everything is clean.
The only additional items I installed were the Unofficial High Res patch and the Unofficial Legendary edition patch.
The follower cursor still appears.
I uninstalled the Legendary edition patch, and installed the DLC-specific patches.
The follower cursor still appears.
I uninstalled the Legendary edition patch, and installed the DLC-specific patches.
The follower cursor still appears.
Situation:
Enchant or improve one item: the follower cursor rarely appears when exiting.
Enchant or improve two items: the follower cursor appears about 50% of the time.
Enchant or improve three items: the follower cursor appears about 80% of the time.
Enchant or improve four or more items: guaranteed.
Testing method 1:
Lydia is in Breezehome; "I no longer need your services."
Use any enchanting table, grindstone, or workbench to enchant or improve four or more items.
The follower cursor appears.
Testing method 2:
Lydia is following me.
Use any enchanting table, grindstone, or workbench to enchant or improve four or more items.
The follower cursor appears.
I cannot open any doors, pick up any items, loot any bodies, pick any locks, etc. even though the prompt to do so appears.
I can talk to NPCs, buy and sell items, and can direct Lydia to wait, sit down, attack a creature or NPC, pick up an item,
and leave my services.
None of this leaves the follower command mode.
I've applied every suggested fix that was suggested by searching "Follower Cursor."
Fast travel does not work.
Loading an earlier save does not work, regardless of whether I do something different after loading the save and then do the enchanting or improving, or go straight to enchanting or improving.
Validating the Steam cache does not work.
Using the console commands to reset the AI, reset the character, etc. does not work.
Coc'ing to various locations does not work.
The only work-around I have is to enchant or improve one item, exit, quicksave/hardsave, and go back in to enchant or improve the next item. That way, I've lost only one round of enchanting/improving - but that is not a solution nor a fix.
This is very frustrating, particularly when one has created a whole new set of armor, weapons, rings, and pendants and goes to enchant/improve them all in one go.
Even more so when one has a time-limited potion of enchantment.
Any ideas?
