NPC stuck in animation, help please (possible companion spoiler)

[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

[Saii]

Thanks guys.

This is the only "bug" i've encountered in game sofar, but it solved itself though after the npc did some random stuff (using a terminal) when i was afk for a moment.

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

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.

try clicking on the npc or prid their id or manually type it in + any of the codes above (and indeed try the tips that i didnt quote) or
playidle looseidlestop
or
resetai

since new animations, idles and pose mods have popped up on nexus, this old thread kind of becomes relevant again.

Read the Readme's on the mod's page's.
but wether you use mods or not, trying any or all of these methods should work.
(as a very last resort, you could try Kill then Resurrrect).
(this Will reset the ai back to its vanilla state, remove all thier items, probablly reset their skills and send them back to their original spawn/base point).

also, i think 1 of the recent updates made changes to fallout 4 animations ba2?
(so i guess, expect some unforeseen events when playing around with anims,, or vanilla's getting stuck for no reason).

I had similar thing with Deacon he was stuck in weird hands up position and floated around.
'caf' didn't work, kill + stimpacking also didn't work (he was normal for a second and went back into that position), but

disable + enable did the trick

+100 caf is the number one solution for NPCs stuck in an animation loop.

Perhaps try the resurrect console command, though that may break any scripts related to them.

Thanks mate.

Now to find a timemachine to go back 7 years when I actually played this game....
