Jumping spiders not jumping and exploding

[Panda]

so I found out about the spider forge and made a bunch of jumping spiders ( thought I was making cloaks, ah well)

At first they were immediately jumping and exploding on enemies, but now they don't. they just sit there and bite attack them. At first when they started doing that they would explode on death, now they aren't exploding at all. Its like I have weaker versions of the cloak ones except they aren't cloaked.
Just now I spent like 15 of both flame and shock ones, no explosion. Are they bugged?

I am having the same problem. I'm using the latest version of the Legendary Edition, with all other DLC, without the Unofficial Patches. I do not have any mods that affect followers' AI or AI in general, so I don't know what causes this.

I have to be honest I stopped playing awhile ago, but before I stopped playing (about 2 weeks after posting) I can confirm that they were still not working. I just threw them out.

I can also confirm that I did duplicate the cloaked ones a lot using that area area-exit/re-enter glitch. works like a charm with the spider scrolls. I could be the spider wizard I always wanted to be.

Also note that before resorting to duping them, I found that the White barrow place (Where you get them) wasn't resetting at all. All the pods were perpetually looted and I think only once did like 2 spiders reappear but the rest stayed dead and left ragdolled in corners. Naturally this would mean that the Albino pods, damaged or undamaged, is a finite resource for me. I'm unsure of whether thats how it was supposed to be or if my game is bugged with that too, but I DO know that with the amount that I got in total, there would be no room for experimenting and actually reliably employing the scrolls without running out, so I don't think that its supposed to be that way. If it is, then too bad. I'm a spider man.
