Can't Craft, or Sit, or Use Any Objects but Talk to NPCs and Look Inventories/Merchants

[Reyalan]

I can't do anything other than talk to NPCs, and search inventories, corpses, etc. Can someone help?

thats weird cause usually its the other way around. i guess the usual: verify cache. mod order, blah blah blah.
Normally i would say its a crafting mod conflict or a crappy mod but the fact you cant sit as well is disturbing. ive searched uesp and found zero for you. good luck ill keep looking but thats weird

[Clever Monkey]

ok, there is something but i assume they mean a one time thing and not every station. try to use when others are using the station, sheath/unsheath your weapon , shout at it. change armor and other gear. its all worth a try.
Of course though it may just be an animation mod now that im somewhat awake

[Reyalan]

It doesn't do any animations, and it doesn't give me control of my character for serveral seconds, as if it was doing the animation, and then exiting out.

yeh uesp describes that and the fix is what i said. but you may have an animation mod f'ing with it.


Sometimes using crafting stations doesn't work and instead just switches to third-person for a second, makes a clicking sound, but never actually allows the interaction. There are various fixes that may or may not work, including wielding/sheathing your weapon, changing equipped weapons/apparel, shouting, interacting with a station while it's in use by another, or any combination of these.

This just leads me straight to the first mod that I think could cause the problem:

I would think so as they rplace the vanilla animations. do you use a bashed patch?

[Clever Monkey]

I see in the desccription there may be a couple of fixes/ workarounds hopefully they work for you,goodluck

[Reyalan]

alright then.

It didn't solve anything, but I can tell you this: I only downloaded two mods, and they were not in any way that it couldn't affect this, as they were just some hair styles. This was before this all happened. I uninstalled them, but it still persists.

[Clever Monkey]

you're using the unofficial patches? and i wouldnt think hair styles would cause this but sometimes strange things happen. did it start right from the beginning o=f a new game or part way thru? verify the cache as some files may have been removed or replaced by the hair mods.

[Reyalan]

I just used an older save, and it was fixed. I got an unofficial patches AFTER my last post. It was hairstyles mod, and a hybrid vampire/werewolf mod.

I had the same problem, everything else was fine but couldn't seat or sleep or interact with crafting stations. It was because earlier I shouted and the moment before the shout took effect I was interrupted by a guard who went to talk to me. The shout must've stuck and thus the result. To fix it I re shouted and all went fine.

I'm not sure if you had those problems for the same reason tho.

For anyone who's having this problem, I found what I believe to be the fix!

I personally had the mod Alternate Actors installed (allows you to control npcs and animals) and after a couple of hours of poking around, looking for fixes, and doing the like, I ended up finding something out. The bug only was in my saves after I had controlled an ice wraith for a short time. I'm not sure if all animals cause it or just ice wraiths, but regardless the mod FAQ gave me the answer...

FIX:
The FAQ told me to try the command “player.tai” in the console, and sure enough that fixed everything! might as well give it a try!

IF THAT DOESN'T WORK:
I suggest your next step should be finding a save where you can sit or craft (getting the sit anywhere mod helps a lot, makes it so you can test for the bug anywhere ;) ), then trying to remember what happened between that save and the next. If you interacted with any mods, I'd check their page and see if it or anything related to it says anything about how to fix that issue. Good luck to anyone else suffering this problem!

You can go into third person view, then hit the "^" (top left key below the ESC) to get into the console mode-
Click on your character (and look to the right side of the screen to see if he/she is selected.
then type these two commands followed each by enter:
resurrect
enableplayercontrols

Finish by leaving the console mode via the key below the ESC key.
Should fix it. Probably a bugged mod is responsible for it, you might have to do it now and then when multiple scripts start running at the same time and messing around.

[Reyalan]

You do know you revived an old discussion? I actually had tdetect set to off for the player character, which made the character itself incapable of interacting with anything because it can't detect it.

At least, that's how I remember it going down.
