Torch Idle

[Bluegunk]

Would anyone know why the default vanilla Torch Idle  (animations\tor_idle.hkx) persists after NPCs have finished using a torch?

 

My followers stand around holding an invisible torch long after the need for it has passed.  Console shows the idle persists alongside any other idles, and 'wins'.

 

has anyone experienced this and discovered the cause?

 

Thank you!

Yes and no. 😃

It happened to me in my current game. Follower would fight and shag, etc then go back to holding the non-existent torch. 🤷‍♂️ She was also doing it day or night, light or dark.

I ended up just dismissing the follower.

First time I've ever had this (iirc).

Lol. I have a Hug mod and firing off a hug usually stops the idle.  I'm glad I'm not the only one with this torch issue!

This mod might fix it   https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/103080?tab=posts 

 

At least there's some useful information on the comments!

You guys are misinterpreting the whole situation. Your followers are waiting for a fist bump, and you're leaving them hanging.

My previous post got shadowbanned or something as it seems only I can see it. But its fine, it was just a joke anyways.

 

So back on topic, the only thing I can think of is are you perhaps using something other than FNIS for your behavior files? This kinda smells like a Pandora thing. Edit: or Nemesis.

Well I'm using PBE so maybe.

 

Edit:

Went in game and pulled the follower to me and she was back to normal.  I did run PBE a few days ago so maybe that fixed it?

Turned up nice a clear, thanks!  😊  I'm a Nemesis user.   I need to see if the above mod fix is working.
