Wolves not moving

[TheBlueHue]

I'm playing vanilla Skyrim, I've already verified the files multiple times, I've reinstalled it, at this point its starting to annoy me.

Do you use Fores New Idles in Skyrim SE - FNIS SE?

If so regenerate FNIS.

If that's a mod then no, I recently deleted all my mods to try and fix this issue

The issues of frozen animals is caused by having had the animation files for creatures removed or changed - so re-running FNIS and clicking the De-install Creatures button should fix this. Once that is done, then you can re-install Creatures again.

If you deleted all mods, I hope you started a new game. Also, just deleting mods will not necessarily remove all mod related files, there may be some left over. You should follow this guide, as your best bet is to do a clean reinstall - that will ensure that everything is up to date and any old mod files that may be left over are removed (this is often the issue, leftover mod files - simply uninstalling and reinstalling the game will not fix this). Follow the below guide - and follow it EXACTLY and to the letter, skipping nothing:

Once that is done (and DO NOT clean or edit the Master files or any Creation Club content), check on a pure vanilla game just to ensure the game launches and initially plays as it should. Then add mods in gradually and test.

Also, removing mods midplaythrough can cause major issues. See the following for complete and definitive information regarding the topic:

Good luck!

at around 1:27 in the video it says to install from steam library, but I don't see that option, am I supposed to do something special here?

[smr1957]

Did you click Uninstall as shown just prior to that? If you are not seeing an Install option for the game in Steam (and are just seeing Play) then the game was not uninstalled. Rerun the vid to ensure that you did not miss any steps - which can easily happen and is something we see a fair amount of, so it is very common.
