NPC gliding through, teleporting to chairs/beds, floating... FIX?
Got a lot of problems with them especially after "waiting", they just all standing there instead of doing their chores. When tavern is full and I sleep/wait they can gather in one specific spot and then only go on their schedule all at once.
Any way to repair this one? Thank you in advance. I'm playing vanilla.

Also sometimes my items unequip themselves if I try to change them in my "favourite" list. Overall not a great experience, lol
lot's of small bugs.

lock it down to slightly under 60, 59/58 usually because the fps lock will have it occassionaly going a few frames above 60 Frame Per Second and somethimes a few under, set it lower and the peaks should be withing the 60 fps limit eliminating the physics issue entirely.

How long have the NPCs have been doing this have they been doing it since you first started playing or started doing it after the first time playing and have you played the game with any mods in the past?:rsdisheep:

Yes, that can and will happen! It all depends on the AI Packages of the NPCs (time of day, starting point, etc.), and the time you are inside an interior, sleeping or waiting. In game time for the player progresses, but not for NPCs outside the interior, or when the player is sleeping or waiting. You will not always notice this because of the loading screen which normally gives NPCs just enough time to settle in. Are you playing the game at a higher FPS the 60? Are you using any mod that accommodates higher FPS?

Also sometimes my items unequip themselves if I try to change them in my "favourite" list. Overall not a great experience, lol

Are you using SSE Engine Fixes, the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, or any other possible fixes?

Nope, clean game, clean folder. I locked FPS like previous users said, seems like it helped a little bit, at least cups and wine are not flying when they glide around. I thought about installing NPC packs but I need Your approval about that one :)

That's how the game deals with waiting, SSE Engine fixes might help but it's a game design not a bug...

Not had that one specifically... might be mods that fix it.... sorry don't know what to say other than that....

Alrighty, guess I just forgot how game was at release, haven't played for looong time.

Works fine, Iocked FPS at 58 in NVIDIA programm but I had to delete my other files in C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Drs cause it didn't want to save it all. No more gliding! (edit. I guess you can copy those files if you don't want Your settings from other games be deleted so after you finish with Skyrim just paste them back)
Thank You all, love you!

I'll write more after more testings.

Alright, after some time playing the game I would say it's not that critical as before, gliding happens SOMETIMES on RARE occasions and you really gotta hunt for that one bug. Thank you all!

The perfect game without mods. You hear that modding community.
