I recently acquired Croup Manor, and decided to make it my personal home. I have been using the console to move items so they can clip, allowing me to patch up the walls and floors, but I think it has messed with the pathfinding a bit. NPCs (Companions or the housekeeper and groundskeeper) have problems navigating in the homestead, but they also occasionally go missing. I just found where they go - they congregate http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/395551878707496172/9EED98C637D1A8EC99C53E551C44148221A72B23/ which is outside the settlement boundary.

I don't think it is just because of the impact on pathfinding in the house. The groundskeeper lives in a prefab shack outside (bed assigned to him) and tends the mutfruit. But he also disappears.

Does anyone have problems with this at this or other settlements? And any solutions?
