Hey. The past few days I've been experiencing freezing character animations. The characters walk around and move as long as I am near them, but when I get a bit of a distance from them, they just stop and freeze cold and just stand there. When I get close to them again, they continue moving.

This is really irritating since I am currently working on a mod with a lot of NPC's and I want to test out their daily routines AI and I don't want to follow them around all the time, but indeed stand at a distance and see that they are functioning as they should!

Has anyone else had this problem and what is the solution?

EDIT: I've read that this is a common problem when you've played the game for a while with the same character (due to things stored in containers, corpses littering teh countryside and so on). I'll try and make a new character and see if it works OK.
