My zombies don't move

Post » Sat Jun 09, 2012 5:26 pm

So just recently in my game, my zombies will not move after reanimating them. They'll either stand completely still or walk in place. They also won't attack and they're immune to all physical attacks, but magic still hurts them. This won't happen all the time, but it seems to consistent in a given scenario. I saved a game a game before reanimated a zombie, and I tried 5 times to reanimate the body using all 5 levels of spells and each had the same result. I also tried again with disabling all of my mods and had no success. The only way to fix it is to use the "moveto player" command. After that the zombies appear act normal. I've tried doing some searching and haven't found anyone else with this problem yet.

Another zombie problem I've been having is with transitioning between cells. After moving into a new cell with a reanimated zombie, they will die regardless of how much time is left, but I won't be able to loot their ash pile until I raise another body or summon a daedra. I used the same "moveto player" command, and it almost seem like I was pushed by an invisible body, but I wasn't even able to kill it with magic. I've found one other person with this issue before but no solution. However, I don't think this happens with the dead thrall skill yet (I would use it, but player character doesn't have it yet without using the console). This issue also appears after disabling all of my mods.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm wondering if this is somehow still a mod problem because I haven't seen many others with these problems. I could try doing a fresh vanilla install, but I'd rather leave that as last resort...
