📋 About This Mod
NPC AI Behavior Fixes
A SKSE plug-in, which fixes some AI errors that may exist in the NPC in the Skyrim game engine, and fixes some problems. It does not include scripts and esp files.
Some users may remember my other MOD: NPC AI Lag Fix. Yes, NPC AI Behavior Fixes (this Mod) already includes some of its functions and made improvements and corrections, and then deleted the functions that I don’t think are needed. If you used NPC AI Behavior Fixes, I recommend you to delete my NPC AI Lag Fix plugin (if you have it).
Function introduction:
Lag Fix part :
Fixed a bug in the Skyrim game engine that the normal AI behavior of the NPC cannot be updated in time when the player is waiting or sleeping. It was inspired by my friend maxsu2017's NPC AI Process Position Fix-SSE plug-in.
(Note: The Lag Fix function included in NPC AI Behavior Fixes only restores NPC's lagging AI to normal. It cannot move NPCs directly to the position where they should go but did not go because of AI lag like NPC AI Process Position Fix-SSE. Maybe I will find a way to move them to the right place, well, not yet.)
NPC Combat In Water AI Fix Part (It's like the picture of this mod):
This is the most important part in my opinion.
In fact, most people already know a MOD: NPC Smarter Water AI-Full Compatibility, ah, yes, the Combat In Water AI Fix included in NPC AI Behavior Fixes is the same as it, but Since the function of SKSE Plugin is based on code, there should be no lag and more accuracy, and there is no scripts, saving an esp is not a bad thing, isn't it?
(And my plugin may work better, I just changed the tag value of NPC instead of clearing their related tags directly like the MOD NPC Smarter Water AI-Full Compatibility, so this will not cause any adverse effects, either. Will not change their NavMesh.)
Dialogue part :
Fixed a rare bug that some NPCs could not talk with clicking E under certain conditions. Well, maybe most people have not encountered it. If you have a lot of mods, y
