Can't interact with certain items...

[bdfoley]

I've been modding for a while now so I'm past noob stage, but I'm not up to coding either. A lot of the glitches and bugs I've managed to get fixed or at least get a reason for the malfunction, but this one has me stumped.
I have Alternate Start loaded and Guildmaster Start chosen so I start game in the camp by Akavari Ruins area....still with me? I can grab the weapons off the rack, the potions and the nifty relics off the table but anything in a container I can't interact with (chest with guild armors, lockpick satchel, knapsack and crate of torches). I can trigger the archaeology dig for fragments but the door on the ruins won't work. I can gather butterflies but cannot get nirnroot, tundra cotton or the flowers.
Ok, fine I have Dragons Keep installed so I'll fast travel and change cells to reset, but again I can interact with NPC's but can't open the doors of the keep or the house, the skyshard works fine, and the plants by house are hit-and-miss, I can gather deathbell but not jazby.
Any ideas here? I've updated the mods that have AE updates (SKSE, Skyui, address library, engine fixes) and kept up with misc mods updates. I'll keep at it but if anyone has come across this issue I'd appreciate some direction.
If I do figure it out on my own I'll update with the solution for anyone else who may need it.
thanx much.

Immersive Interactions was the culprit.
