Broken Conjuration AI

[Wildly Mild]

When i enter combat, My conjured or resurrected companion stops following me and enters search mode. It will patrol a small area in an attempt to find the enemy. This results in my minion getting left behind as i move forward to attack. This broken behaviour is very consistant and happens without any mods installed. If you dont notice it, You probably have an AI altering mod, Or just dont use sprint enough.

Didn't you already post this thread a while ago? Follower AI sucks in Skyrim, so just deal with it. I finished the game as a summoner before and it's manageable. Either get some mods that fix this or learn to control them within their own parameters.

Also, you're kinda playing it wrong, you're not supposed to rush the enemy, let them come to you, then hang around your summons and let them do most of the work while you spray arrows or magic.

If nothing else, summon them again, it's not like you need to wait for them to come. They're spells, use them when you enter combat.

There's no fix that i know of that fixes only this. There are a bunch of follower overhaul mods that fix this, add a bunch of stuff and change how followers function, but as far as i know, there are no fixes for only this...

Change your playstyle a bit and you won't have this problem. I mean, you will, but you won't notice it. ;)

I dont want to deal with it! This game has been out for four years! Someone should have fixed this by now! Ive done my waiting! Having a follower makes me feel like a babysitter, i have to slow down and make sure my minion isnt stuck or is keeping up before i engage in combat, I shouldnt have to be forced to play like that! Someone NEEDS to make a mod for this, Because every follower mod ive tried doesnt fix this, or in most cases, doesnt effect conjured followers. And the few conjuration based mods that claim to help with AI also add a huge overhaul to the skill tree, And then dont even fix my problem either.

i NEED someone to help me with this. This isnt a special case that is only effecting me, I have it on vanilla and that means im not the only one that needs help.

No one NEEDS to make a mod. People make mods out of their onw goodwill. If no one fixed this by now it's either no one plays with summons or no one else was bothered by their behaviour.
And how many mods did you try? Browse some of them, the ones that mod the general AI could work too.

I know you don't want a big mod that changes a lot, but in this case i don't think it can be helped. Either you install a follower revamp mod, a combat revamp mod (could work, idk, try it), or leave it as is.

I still don't know why can't you just re-cast the summons when you're in combat. Then they'll attack anything that's near them and won't be behind you.

I cant recast on a corpse if it doesnt stay near me, If you can find a mod that will fix this AI problem then i'll try it, but there are very few out there that specificly address conjured minions

when you say "vanilla" do you mean a game that was modded that you have the data files unchecked?

No, i uninstalled all my mods and did a reinstall of the game.

If anyone here is going through the same issue as me, Please make yourself known so that someone might make a mod to help us.

Quite literally stunned.

Mate, your game is glitched. There's no point in keep re-posting on the subject. Bite the bullet :-)

Its not fair, I just want my minions to follow me

......I literally can't even warrant a response with that kind of attitude you've taken. You've quite literally ( albeit it in different wording ) said, " Why should I have to deal with negative problems in my game? Someone should make mods to suit me directly because I can't be bothered to do it myself even though there's tons of materials online that would help me learn how to mod so that " I " could be the one to make a mod that fixes this issue instead of whining about someone else not catoring to my every need! " Modders aren't your mother. Grow up.

There's plenty of tutorials online that will teach you how to use things like the creation kit. Watch them, play around in it. Learn to use it, make whatever the hell you like. However, if you want to ASK someone for something. You should probably avoid wording it like an overly demanding little brat, and actually make a request. At this point you've already shot yourself in the foot though. I wish you luck on your attempt at modding.
