Is there a common reason for why the AI will just stand stil

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:17 pm

Its not game breaking or anything but often I will come across NPCs and creatures just being completely still. Like deer, slughterfish, and other NPCs especially in towns. They won't do anything until I attack them. Is it just a system overload or something or can I "reset" their AI packages with wyre bash or something? Thank you.

AI overload, CPU has too much to process. Either cut down on mods that add NPCs and creatures, or use a spawn reducer option, if one is available. Tailor your game to make sure you are running within your specs. It will keep your system healthier, longer.

I turned off Francesco's Optional Chance of More Enemies.esp and slept 3 days and they are still just standing there and they are actually even worse now than before, I have to talk to bandits to get them to attack me.

2C Mart's Monster Mod - Looting NPCs & Creatures.esp [Version 3.7b3p3] <-- remove

3B OOO-WaterFish.esp [Version 1.34] <-- remove

68 Streamline 2.0.esp <-- Upgrade to 3.1b patched

Francesco's Optional Chance of More Enemies.esp <-- This is required. Put it back.


Dude, seriously, you have a full FCOM setup, with MMM add-ons and everything. You've even thrown in TT, More Wilderness Life and OOO WaterFish, all of which and add a number of NPCs onto the full FCOM setup. Use FCOM's reduced Spawn Rates and Safer Roads add-ons to counter-balance some of this. The safe roads will help since you've added new NPCs to the roads with the mods I've pointed out, and reduced spawn rates is the plugin that you should have first tried adding to off load some of whatever is bogging down your system.

thanks man, and sorry I thought you meant remove the .esps that add more spanws by "reduced spawn". I didn't know there was a FCOM esp

It makes you have to discover towns before you can fast travel to them

Doesn't OOO do that already? I thought one of the mods I used did that...huh...

OOO does that already, yes. So that one should, preferably, go too.

I could still fast travel to the towns when I first played before installing that mod, but I got rid of those .esp's and got the new streamline so I'll go from there and start taking more away if it doesn't work. Thank you all for the help.

Everything works fine now, and it seems I never had streamline installed in the first place. The game is soooo much smoother. Thank you all again, I really appreciate it.

Or better yet, get Map Marker Overhaul. It will do that as well and much, much more. It's a must have mod as far as I'm concerned.

Just noticed your comment. What is the problem/issue with MMM-Looting NPCs & Creatures?

I do not know that there are any "problems" with it, per-say, but it adds more work for the CPU, generated by every NPC involved in a battle. If your performance is fine without removing it, or removing it makes no difference, leave it. Otherwise, nope, I have not heard of any "issues" with it.
