Embrace the Night Mother Bug (Not what you think)

The controls aren't working after I

embrace the night mother in her coffin and then the coffin is opened again
.

Just to be clear, I'm not referring to the common "problem" that others have reported about the screen going black for a while while the game loads. I'm talking about after the NPC dialog completes and

the coffin opens again, with me staring at the night mother
. At this point only the Esc and "Wait" keys work. Tab, direction and hot keys don't work at all. There's no additional dialog and nothing happens. I just sit there

. I tried waiting for a few hours and it didn't work. So I set TimeScale to 100 in the console and waited another hour, but that didn't work either. It's still basically frozen.

Admittedly, I assume it's http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1397773-this-person-is-busy-x-5/ of mine, but I haven't tried disabling all mods yet. It's becoming a real pain in the @.

I'll try disabling all mods, but first I wanted to ask in this forum if there's a quicker solution to getting controls back rather than going through the load-shutdown mods-quit-disable mods-load-save-quit-load-test-still broken dance.

Thanks.
