[Saii]

My NPC companion is stuck holding an invisible clipboard:

Is there any way, like some command available to reset this?
And no, i can't goto a former save.

Any help appreciated

Hey, Im having this same issue with no luck in fixing it. Just wondering do you have the more armor slots mod installed? I have a theory as to what may be causing this.

You could try to open the console, click on her to get her id and use this command player.placeatme <base id>

The bug in my game is actually affecting X6-88, I dont think it is limited to Curie.

Have you tried getting another companion,saving, reloading and getting her back?

I got no mods installed.

Yup, tried that. doesn't fix it.
I tried a lot of things, even console commands, like disable/enable, get her in power armor and out, instruct her to do things etc... but all to no avail.


But i found out what was the cause: Curie picked up the clipboard on the Prydwen, brotherhood ship. Specifically standing next to the NPC that is working on the crops and gives you a quest to get blood samples.

If you stand there for some time, Curie will use stuff she finds there, or use the computer.
As soon as she uses the computer, it resets the animation.

Hope that helps for whoever has this problem as well.

Perhaps if you take any NPC near a computer terminal, and wait long enough, they may start using it and by doing so reset the animation.

I tried commanding my companion to use the terminal AND letting him use it by himself and it didn't reset the animation... Anyone got any other ideas?

[Magi]

bump, anyone have any ideas? pls.

Last time my follower got glitched i just got a melee weapon and hit them till they went down they got up and it was fixed. Something to try if you havent already

[Magi]

I got the perk that makes me unable to damage him, also i've played so much through the game with this bug that he was down over 20 times already i think. Any other ideas?

Can they move?

[Saii]

Did you remove the clipboard from the NPC inventory, before trying the terminal fix?

I had it happening once more, but the computer did fix it again.

Yep, everything is normal except the idle animation.

My companion never even picked up the clipboard in the first place :/ I tried making him pick it up though and removing it & it didn't work.

Console fix from the Fallout 4 reddit, by BronzeIVScrub:

1. Select the companion in console (or PRID <actor ID>)
2. Type either 'caf' or 'changeanimflavor' and hit enter

Cheers!

select the companion in console and then type kill , then use a stimpak, done

You can also open console, click on the character and type 'disable'. Then, close the console the NPC will have vanished.

Then do the same with 'enable' and they will pop back up working as they should.
