Resolved Settlers acting strange since latest update...

[D0gbert]

I nickname the bug the "simian flu", since affected settlers will stop having audio dialogue (could still be talked to and stuff), then proceed to bug out, namely attacking Carla, pets and even supply brahmin.

Initially, I thought it was something to do with another mod which alters combat behaviour, but this issue persists even in new games.

It affects vanilla and modded settlers, but not named ones.

So far, it seems to randomly affect settlers in Abernathy Farm and Starlight Drive-In. Haven't tested other locations yet, though it seems that having RotC cities seem to have no bearing on the frequency of this bug.

Anyone else have this?!

That sounds a lot like the pack attack mod. Unless you have another ai related mod. I've never seen that with sim settlements.

Personally holding off on the pack attack mod until he gets something a bit more stable and stops adding features on top of bugs. Really cool mod when it works, but it was breaking so many things in my playthrough I had to give up.

yep for me too look like bug from pack attack mod.

Agreed, sounds a lot like an AI mod conflict. Try to uninstall any AI mods (manually double check if you use NMM) and try a fresh game. See if it persists.

Fresh start etc and removing the mod had done it.
Though killing off the bugged-out settlers and uninstalling the mod kind of works as well. Some shit is bound to pop up later though...

Well, it was fun while it lasted...
