Please, help! Follower invisible OUTSIDE (solved)

[Dazdraperma]

Hi there!

 

I made a mess! Now, my favourite follower becomes invisible, when outside. In building, the follower is okay, when outside - completely invisible, though, I can interact with him and he has an aura.

 

Follower managed by aft. Resetting didn't help. Letting go and hiring back neither helped. Loading the game when this problem didn't exist, well, it didn't help.

 

What shall I do? Please, help!

I also tried to unintall all recent mods, to figure out which one did it, but failed. The NPC became invisible on fast travel to Windhelm. During game run, everything before was well. I thought it was a regular bug, entered tavern, saved gamem quited. Next day, on loading, the follower kept being invisible. Weirdly, only outside.

try following this path and see if you have this file
DATA\SKSE\PLUGINS
the file in question is
hdtSkyrimMemPatch.ini (opens as a simple txt) , if yes, check if these strings appear to you like this 
ReplaceDefaultHavokHeap = false
doNotReleaseHavokResource = false

Hello! Thank you for responding.

 

I don't have hdtSkyrimMemPatch.ini in my plugins folder, neither I have it anywhere else.

 

I run Skyrims AE with faster hdt-smp.

 

I kinda solved issue with installing another preset, but I miss the old one. Also, I am curious what happened. I must have DONE something, but I was really wasted that evening, and cannot accurately reverse engineer the action... Sad!

 

That day I was playing around with new for me mods:

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/78106

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/57692

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21085

 

Only idea I have, is I got an invisible NPS bug (first ever seen), which would fix itself on next launch, but I ruined it with accessing EFF cosmetic menu, right before saving game in tavern. Just an assumption, I don't know how exactly game works.

try these steps: 
1) disable all mods except what pertains to the game itself, SKyrimAE, Heartfire, Dawnguard, Update, HigresTexturePack01,02,03 (maybe they are there under other names)
2) Start a new game (your PG is relative), as soon as you can, open the console and type coc quasmoke, then press enter, you will find yourself in a room with trunks. From this you can tell if your game is running perfectly.
If yes, make a save and exit the game. Now, if you have installed a follower, activate it with all the mods associated with it/them, if everything is working properly, in my opinion, you have problems with hdt and havok

 

This file hdtSkyrimMemPatch.ini, I don't know if it can be found for SkyrimAE, for sure it is for SkyrimLE but I don't know if it will work on your game

EFF was never updated to latest skeleton. Latest skeleton has some bones added.

Faster hdt relys on new bones. Missing bone may cause invible. For my opinion,

Skeleton issue.

Guys, really appreciate your help!

 

I still do not know what happened, tried messing with skeleton, but it didn't help.

 

Already tweaked a "new appearence" mod with a different haircolour and modified skeleton, and I am more then happy with the result. So I'm not going to bother and watch a starting cariage ride.

 

Many thanks, I am not investigating further. It's pointless and time consuming.

 

PS Shall I delete the topic? I didn't find a button to modify a topic name to [CLOSED].... or something
