My home is your home issue

[Hecate]

I tell a follower 'this is your home' but instead of interacting with anything in the house they just stand in one room and wander around in it. If there is a bed, they won't lay down or anything like that. Any ideas on how to fix it? Or is it suppose to be like that?

[Grathagis]

Is this a normal follower or one from a mod ?

[Ilja]

And is this house a vanilla or custom home? In latter case, it might not be navmeshed properly.

[Hecate]

Yeah I used LOOT it came up clean. And it happens with both custom house and vanilla house. Happens to both sets of followers.

[Grathagis]

You say they don't use the bed. Are they using items such as the enchanting table, smithing amenities, or alchemy table ?

[Hecate]

Nope, they just stand around or lean against the wall thats about it. I sat down and watched them for a good half hour or so. And they didn't move from said room or do anything else.

[Grathagis]

There is a note in the mod that there might be issues with sandboxing.

[Hecate]

Ah well. I'll just drag em to a different room and leave em there. :x

Tried giving them some free time? Lydia would just do the same in vanilla breezehome until I gave her time off, then she got a broom and started sweeping out her bedroom.

Go to an outdoor space wait 4 days and then save game, reload that save and re-enter the house. Might work.
EDIT: with follower left indoors.

Sadly it didn't work. My kids didn't even move either. Even though I told them to. =\

Do you have UFO?

It does that, and you can uninstall my home is your home.

Bring your guy/gal, and once in the house tell her bout her new place if she doesn't belong yet, and then tell her to "relax", or "relax a bit" or something in these lines.

They'll start chilling, sit by fireplace, read a book, have a drink, eat, bla bla.

EDIT: i still don't think they change floors tho, if thats what you were looking for. My wolf changes floors, walks up and down the stairs for some reason, my human followers don't.

I use AFT because I couldn't get Inigo to work with UFO. ><

Since everyone here seems to be using mod's. What about in the vanilla game (no DLC or mod's), if the game is working correctly, your follower (Lydia-Breezehome) is suppose to do something other than sit at the table eating and drinking in the master bedroom? I think she's getting fat but I'm afraid to say anything, after all, I've seen what she has done to those that have tried to attack me!

Lydia has a little problem in vanilla game. She don't know how to sleep and spends most of the time in whatever level you left her, without being able to interact things properly. So she sits by your bed and eats bread.

If this is still a situation in your game, then you haven't yet installed Unofficial Patches. ;)

Short answer
I consider it safe. Many peoples have done so. Just run LOOT after installing them and keep your load order straight with it. :)

Long Answer
Some peoples have reported strange things happening, when they have installed patches in the middle of game. Some have even claimed that they messed up their games.

Each of these resent cases have been shady, to say the least. Not one of them have proved that their problems started from Unofficial Patches. I seems to me that some peoples are stubborn to set their load order manually, keep using broken mods (like WARZONES) against our advices or are carrying some sort of grudge against Arthmoor.

Dealing with stubborn peoples is hard, because suggesting that they could use LOOT, give up certain mods or ignoring their grudges usually spark mature answers in lines of "Go f*** yourself."

You really can't write anything up from conversations with these guys, so my notes have currently 0 conformed problems with Unofficial Patches coming from this forum.
