I have no companion mods besides Vilja, but I don't know if another mod could be causing this.
The problem first happened with Lydia (I had both Lydia and Vilja following). I would ask to see Lydia's inventory, she'd say okay, and then the inventory wouldn't come up. If I did that multiple times, and then restarted the game, the inventory window would show up on load however many times I asked before (as I closed each one). Then Vilja started to have this bug as well.
Then the problem escalated. Sometimes if I ask to see Vlija's inventory or extra storage, she says okay and then not only does the window not appear, I'm not even able to exit the conversation or interact with her (except, as I found later, by opening the console and teleporting myself to her).
Sometimes, when I'm in Vilja's inventory and I go to open her extra storage, instead of opening, it is moved to my inventory, where I can't interact with it except to put it back in Vilja's inventory. But she regenerates one every time this happens, so right now she has four, and when I click on it and it does open, it opens the menu to choose a bag four times (the last three are while I'm already in the bag I chose first, and it doesn't matter what I select in those, the menu just goes away as if it was never there).
The original problem doesn't happen very much anymore (and I think it's only happened once or twice with Serana), though sometimes there is a delay before Vilja's inventory opens, and sometimes just asking a second time opens the inventory. I have noticed that this (along with CTDs--probably unrelated) usually happens only after I've been playing a while.
Also, one time I accidentally took Vilja's lute out of her inventory, and then every time I tried to talk to her, she'd use the dialog for when I first gave it to her, but then the thing where I can't exit the conversation would happen and the lute wasn't removed from my inventory, so it would happen repeatedly. Eventually I wised up and dropped the lute on the floor before talking to her, which worked. I'm not sure if my memory is correct on this, but I think when I restarted and talked to her with the lute in my inventory, she finally did take it. Regardless, she does now have (one) Vilja's Lute in her inventory, so it was resolved somehow.
I have the most current version of the mod, but I am still getting the over-encumbrance bug with Vilja sometimes. The console command to fix it seems to work, except I can't seem to put anything in her "things to sell" bag at all, ever.
I'm probably going to restart my game entirely with some different mods in a week or two (for unrelated reasons), and I'll let you know if this happens then. Is there any information I should get from my current game/setup that would help?
(Also, I love Vilja in Skyrim and Oblivion. She's adorable, but my favorite thing is that she's annoying in the way that a person is annoying, instead of in the way that an AI is annoying. She makes the game so much more enjoyable.)
