Hi there,

I have a strange problem where a few NPCs in the Imperial city are lying down as if they are dead. This is mainly 4 or 5 Mage Scholars and even Hieronymus Lex. The strange thing is they are not dead and if you try to talk to them, it shows their inventory and I don't want to loot them. I've seen other NPCs talk to them, it's so weird watching a motionless NPC get in a chat with another NPC!

I've tried the resurrect and tai console commands but I've had no luck. I've also waited elsewhere for over 3 days (cell respawn) and it didn't work either. Any ideas? Thanks.

That is bizarre. The fact that their inventory immediately shows up if you try to speak to them indicates they have passed on. But they can still talk??? creeeepy.

Maybe you should post whatever mods you've got. Chances are the problem lies within.

Try the console command

resetai

As the name says, it should reset their ai.

Ok this sounds stupid but how do you post a load order!?

By the way, "resetai" doesn't seem to be a valid command

I'm not sure if this helps but this is my load order (FCOM 1.0)
