Static Settlers

[B...]

I am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing that I currently am? I am currently finishing up Nuka World and have been back to the Commonwealth several times to defend settlements. I am running mods but no news ones during the course of Nuka World.

The problem is with my settlers in Sanctuary, Red Rocket and Abernathy Farm becoming static. They will initially move a few feet, still do some actions but the will not move around. If I sit and 'wait' they will be at new locations when I stand back up but the still won't move around. when it is bed time they will not go to bed unless I sit and wait; then they will be in bed but when morning comes, they just get up and stand by their beds and will not move. you can interact with them but they are otherwise imobile. If I return with a compaonion, they will not follow me around the settlement like they always do.

I went back several hard saves and found the point where they stoppped moving around (I was back in Sancuary a few times during Nuka World after the 'good save' to drop off loot but didn't notice static settlers right a way).

So far after some tesing by going back to the 'good save' (where settlers were still moving around) I think this could be occuring after I drop off loot/ scap items from Nuka World into my main settlement of Sancuary Hills (being that Red Rocket and Abernathy Farm share the same cell(?) it affects them as well. I did a few run throughs where I did not drop off loot or scrap anything and this inaction seems to avoid the glitch. I did travel to other settlemets and they did not seem to be affected. The settlement in Nuka World is also not affected by this glitch.

Has anyone esle experienced or heard of this issue? Besides going back and staring off from my 'good save' is there a way to correct this issue?

I can't help with your settler problem and have not taken anything from Nuka World back to the Commonwealth to know if it would also happen to me.

I'm only posting to let you know that Sanctuary does not share any of it's cells with Abernathy farm. As you cross the bridge into Sanctuary it's first cell loads. I am not sure, but I don't think any Sanctuary cells overlap with Red Rocket either.

Maybe so? I got the impression from others here in the Discussion Area that Sancuary Hills and Red Rocket's cells are somehow connected.

Well if you do ever take anything back from Nuka World (or scarp things from Nuka World in the Commonwealth (I am still testing to see if one or both actions cause the glitch for me)) just be a little aware at least in case this happens to you (?)
