Why are all the Dawnguard NPCs holding their arms out, and can it be fixed

technical-issuesthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

Today I go to Dawnguard and I saw NPCs walking like this. They kind of look like a hangman stick-figure.

Almost ALL NPCs of Dawnguard are walking around with their arms like this

  1. When I press E to talk
  2. When they are standing

This does NOT happen to original Skyrim & HF characters. I didn't go to DB land, yet.

Character looking like a hangman with his arms outstretched

This happens to Serana too, which makes me irritated. How can I fix this?

I'm running Skyrim on PC

  • Skyrim Version 1.9.32.0.8 +DG+HF+DB (latest)
  • Mods (only 2):
    • UFO,
    • AP

Running from: Latest SKSE (0.1.6.16)

This also appears on my xbox, this of could be just a glitch though. But if not, it's probably just a reusult of the AI engeneers designing the dawngaurd to have their arms out, as a catious action. As if they're holding their arms like that in case of a vampire attack. As for the case of it being fixed. If you haven't already uninstalled the DLC, and then installed them again (which shouldn't affect your progress) then you should, if it still persists on happening then we can presume it's supposed to be the case, as it shouldn't be too non-profitting in your case or affect the main game in any way.
