Piper does not react to follow commands

[Apap]

Hello everyone,

 

I recently encountered an issue with Piper when trying to recruit her back as a follower: I can normally talk to her, trade with her etc. but when I ask her to follow me, she agrees but won't budge on her own. In fact, she will continue to stand just in one place without doing anything. I can still order her to walk to a chosen spot and interact with items (search drawers, pick stuff up etc.) which she does, but will not run after me if I start leaving or something. Interestingly, she will pull out her gun when I do it but won't crouch when I crouch.

 

I think also it's worthwile to mention that even when she is not recruited, she keeps standing in one spot. Normally, idle companions walk around the settlements, interact with the furniture / worksations , help farm etc. but not her. 

 

I know that there has been a similar topic posted before, but no resolution was found.

 

Here's what I tried so far:

 

- resetai

- kill / resurrect

- removefromfaction 00075d56

- disable / enable

- max affinity + sleep in bed 24 hours (she will keep lying in bed after wake up)

- summon her to hostile area, get her killed then ask to follow again (she does fight back when attacked)

- fast travel (even when recruited, she'll just stay at her place)

- swap with other companions (will talk to the current companion, the menu to send to a settlement will pop up, the comp will leave but she won't follow. Also when swapping her for somebody else, send to settlement menu will pop up but she won't move from the current spot to go there. However on the map the chosen settlement gets a +1 update)

 

I'm out of ideas and going with the last save she was fine means 23 hours of gameplay down the drain 

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance!
