📋 About This Mod

Updated NPC AI Process Position Fix adding support for SE, AE, and VR in one DLL thanks to commonlibsse-ng.

Skyrim's engine has a limitation where it could only update an NPC’s AI process position for one hour at most if that NPC is loaded in current loaded cells (a high AI Process one).

Therefore, you probably meet the issue that when you are waiting or sleeping in an inn all night, the NPCs won't go home, instead they still stay at the inn until the next morning.

That may even cause the NPCs to block the door when they leave the inn if you have installed an AI overhaul mod. Because such mods will cause many NPCs to visit the inn at night.

Additionally, the loaded NPCs in the fast travel destination will not update their daily life schedule positions due to the same reason.

The plugin will detect every waiting, sleeping, and fast travel event, and calculate the time difference.

If the time difference is longer than the Minimum Trigger Hours (2 hours by default, can modify in the INI file ), the updating position function will trigger and all the humanoid character NPCs who matches the conditions will be updated the position by the mod's functions, sending them to the correct place in the correct time.
