hug kill

[rollerpig]

Is anyone having this problem.

Instead of me dieing,Vilja dies after the hug.

This has also been happeneing with a mod I used to use "dynamic marriage outfitts" by Caliente.It always killed me though.Vilja 1.2 this was happening as well.Stopped for a little bit,but now she is dieing.

Such a stange bug.I can't make the connection bewtween the hug and how it causes instant death??

Set her essential (through her config menu, in the travelling together/we need to discuss some issues/seriouis things -or something similar-). Now select her in the console and type kill. Once she recover, you can set her again to non-essential and give her a hug.

Thanks amgepo it worked =)

Overall I'm enjoying 1.3. However, instead of the hug-kill bug being gone, now it's every time she hugs my character.

From FAQ-section:

Q: I have ver 1.3 and I'm suffering from the hug-kill-bug

A: The bug - which affect also other mods that use the hug-animation - was supposed to be cured in ver 1.3, but can during certain circumstances still occur. It should be permanently cured in next version. Until then, you can get rid of it by doing like this:

If Vilja dies:

Step 1: Make Vilja essential (use the dialog Travel together->Serious matters)
Step 2: Kill her with the console (console command: KILL)
Step 3: Now you can make her non-essential again and hug her.

If Player dies:

Use the vanilla brawl quest to give the player essential state and kill him/her So, pick a fight and, once the brawl is ongoing, type in console: player.kill. Just to be on the safe side, do it with Vilja in a different location!

Instead of using the vanilla brawl system, is better to use the TIM console command to make player essential, and then to revert it to normal state after the kill command.

Ok, so for whatever reason, the brawl method did not work. In fact the player.kill command killed me during brawl.

However, toggling immortal (console command "tim") then player.kill did appear to work, thank you both.

The "hug-kill" bug got me the first time I asked Vilja for a hug. She hugged me and I dropped dead, and as I recall Vilja said "Oh, dear."

It reminded me of the episode of "Firefly" where the Captain kisses the beautiful seducer who had poisoned lips.

Vilja! What did I ever do to you to deserve this?

It was a relief to find it was a bug, and so thanks, everybody, for your posts!

To restate the fix that worked for me and go through the steps:

~ [Get into the console. (And ignore these remarks inside parentheses.)]
tim [Toggle immortality to make the player immortal.]
player.kill [This would kill the player, except the player is now immortal.]
tim [Toggle immortality to make the player mortal again.]
~ [Get out of the console.]

At this point I asked Vilja for another hug, and she hugged me, and to my great relief I didn't die.

Leslie Caron's first movie was "Lili." A Vilja-like girl joins a Carnival and gets a job talking with puppets when the puppeteer recognizes how entertaining it is to simply watch her talking with his puppets. She and the puppets become close friends. But then after reality intrudes, she realizes that her friends the puppets are actually different faces of the puppeteer--her true friend--and that she actually loves him.

As for me, I love Vilja, and I much prefer Oblivion to reality.

I, er, have an interesting variant of the hug-kill problem. When Vilja hugs me, it kills the game. No, really. The hug animation plays out and the moment it finishes I get a CTD. Seems to be 100% reproducible.

I suspect it's not a Vilja mod problem, but some other mod I've got. The problem is that for the life of me I cannot think of anything I've added or changed that might cause this. I have just played through the Dragonborn main quest and "died" in one of the Apocrypha segments, so that may lead to some peculiar behaviour, I have no idea.

Edit: I've just replayed to the end of the Dragonborn main quest from just before the point I originally died in Apocrypha, only without dying this time. One back in Solstheim, I can hug Vilja without problems.

Strange bug.
