Cant Loot Corpse

[Invid17]

I cant loot anything that i kill. i have no idea how to fix this been looking around and cant find any info. I can loot everything else as long as I dont kill it.

Validate game files?

[Invid17]

just loaded a saved game file 4 lvls back everything is fine... kinda crap tho

[Target Practice]

Yes, that fixed it too, but so did validating the files, on all your saves.

Not sure what validating game files is but I get this fairly often. I quicksave and then re-load and then I can access the object in question.

Search validating steam files on steam support, they have instructions on how to use it, seems to cure a lot of bugs.

I may just do that. Thanks for the heads up.

I've also had same problems. Can't loot anything from corpses, interacting with objects doesn't work either and all this after killing one certain enemy which could be any NPC from sabercat to reanimated corpse.

SOLUTION for this problem in my instance was to DISABLE UNOFFICIAL PATCHES.
I had this problem especially with Skyrim AND Dragonborn Patches while other unofficial patches seem to work fine.

Hope this helps anyone with similar issues.

i have this sometimes, lets say 1 out of 1000 isn´t lootable and sometimes things on desks go invisible, but i can still take them.

I diagnose a case of RTFM plague.

Let me remind those yet unaffected that this plague can be avoided. Just remember that probability of getting the plague raises severly every time you install a mod without properly reading the Read Me file.

For others I write a dose of fukitol. Modders who actually write those instructions can take it as double.

Sorry, spidukka. I am really not directing this to you, but you managed to provide most exellent example of what not to do in the middle of game - even if it works for one bug.

Unofficial patches are fixing bugs from the game. Removing these patches from a running game is a unwise and can lead to save file(s) getting permanently bugged.

My first advice for anyone having problems like this is to open NMM and make damn sure that all your mods are up to date, and you have properly read and understood what they do to your game. If there was "if", "but" or "maybe" included in your toughts, then protect yourself from the plague by getting back to reading those instructions.

My second advice is to remove appcache folder from your Steam folder before verfying files. Close Steam. Remove the folder. Boot your computer. Start Steam and make sure it created new appcache folder correctly. Then verify your files. Steam (like any client) isn't prefect and problems with appcache folder are currently the weakest link around here.

This plague is endemic in video game players now because the games have a habit (especially Skyrim) of telling you what they think you need to know in game and then people think that mods will do the same thing.

I suggest a UESP WIKI search rather than necroing a thread that is 3 1/2 years old.

Best answers are found reviving the old issue. What's your problem?

The people who were supplying answers have moved on, it's a cold thread.
Start a new thread and they might look in, but with a cold dead thread they won't.

And the best answers are never found by reviving old threads. NEVER.

What do you mean?
Most helpful answers to many issues or general inquiries i found were in years old threads.

Granted i didn't necro them but still not everything can be found on UESP.
