Settlers not moving

[cyesi23]

Hi, although I select a settler to move location and all seems OK, the settler does not move and population counts stays the same. Help! anybody else had this issue?

 

[tankthing]

sounds like script lag, how many population in the settlement?

 

[cyesi23]

Around twenty as wants to move them to low population settlements

What processor, memory and video card? 20 doesn't seem to be overly much.

Have you tried the game optimization papyrus settings on the wiki yet? They can make a ton of difference.

Lol, 20 is high for me. I havent tried that yet, so will give it a go. Thanks

 

[cyesi23]

Tried that update, but no luck. I cant do the following:
Assign settlers to stalls
Move a settler to another settlement
Setup a trade route.

Not noticing any other issues.

what happens when you toggle AI off ("tai" in console), give it a good realtime several minutes and then toggle it back on?

 

[cyesi23]

No luck with that! :-(

 

[tankthing]

any chance of a mod list?

also, what are your system specs?

System looks to be maybe a touch low on memory but the rest looks fine.

I'd try pulling the following to see if the crashes stop. Just keep a copy of the original save so you can replace the mods and be back in business once you find the one that's being annoying.
If the crashes stop once you pull the mods, put them back gradually until the settlers stop moving again. At that point you've found your culprit.

If the crashes can be traced to Sim Settlements, we can rule any chance of an addon interaction out by simply removing the addons.

Keep in mind that SS will replace unloaded plot types in the save with another plot of the same type which I've seen cause problems with crashes in some older versions of addons. Your goal is to get the settlements to do that once all of the addons are unloaded.

With this in mind, don't quick travel to your settlements after doing this, travel close and walk in slowly, give SS a chance to make the swapouts and kill off threads that don't need to be loaded.

I would add back the SS addons first since those will have the most impact on your original save in terms of look and feel.

It's also possible that one of the addons has a hidden dependency on Industrial Revolution, so may be worthwhile to load that just to see if it corrects some of the issues.

I'm having the same issues... give any updates if it works.

 

[NikVilKok]

Yes, sounds a lot like Joshua Flood's problem. Thread here

I'd be really interested in the amount of active scripts you have in you saves @cyesi23

Hi, after trying a number of things,still had no luck, so bit the bullet. Removed all mods and started new game. have slowly been reintroducing mods as going through levels. So far all OK, settlers respond to my request straight away, but cam take 30 seconds or so for the the number of settlers at location to go down once I have moved them. Although gutting to start again, I'm now using what I have learnt to structure and play the game better. Whats also been great, i that I am coming across scenarios that I didn't in my original quest.

You might want to hold off building settlements though. There's a game changing release of Sim Settlements coming very soon (hours).

And, yes, that is my experience as well. You quickly forget the old character and find new stuff on a new playthrough.
