Hello. First of all I love Sa’chil to death. She’s so adorable and nice to be around. Amazing work.
Now I’ve been running into a big problem and I really need help with it.
So basically I dismissed Sa’chil in Castle Volkihar (the home I set for her isn’t the Castle itself fyi) after I’ve done the Dawnguard questline and decided to move on to the Aetherium Forge quest after curing my vampirism.
During my journey in the Dwemer ruin, Sa’chil randomly appeared right next to me after I waited (since my other followers fell down a ledge so I waited to get them to come back) even though she’s supposed to be going home to the place I set for her. When I try to talk to her, I get the “This person is busy” notification.
i checked her package, it’s her home package and she does walk back home but even though she’s home, she still cannot speak to me.
I tried everything:
• resetai command
• disable and enable
• going into her debug room
Please. I miss my adorable khajiit and I don’t want her to be dead for the rest of time :(

Ok thank the divines I found a fix. I spawned a bandit at my house and it caused her to go into combat mode. After the bandit died, I can finally talk to her. Really dodged a bullet there..

Wait, does Sa'Chil HAVE an indigenous home locale allocation function?
Doesn't she use a CUSTOM AI framework?
If she does not have an indigenous option to set home locale.. THAT would explain what you are suffering from.
THAT symptom is a classic symptom of using a multi-follower mod's functions, or a forced home mod like MYIYH, on a custom AI follower.
NEVER DO THAT.
Never use AFT (use NFF, then give the custom follower and NFF token crafted from a forge to lock them out the system) with Custom followers not using vanilla AI packages, never use a forced riding mod, never use a forced home location mod either.... EVER.......
.....even thinking you have fixed her... it is likely you have NOT. It is likely that you have broken her brain deep inside and

If a custom follower which uses it's own custom framework, and not one based around vanilla AI, does NOT have an INDIGENOUS home allocation function, then you CANNOT set their home locale, unfortunately, just have to accept them returning to their default home. Using a mod to change this WILL break their brains.

Yeah I did set a home for her in her own dialogue options but I did use MHIYH on her. I originally set her home this way because I wanted her to move to another room in the house to sleep but after going through the “This person is busy” bug, I decided to evict her from MHIYH mod.
I do also use NFF and she was automatically given the token. I do use the tokens on all of my followers except for those that use the Vanilla framework like Auri, Rumarin and Thogra.
After I removed her from MHIYH and spawned in that bandit to fix her, she does go back home and I can talk to her when dismissed so thankfully all is not lost, hopefully. My guess is it was definitely MHIYH but the mod seems fine with other followers that I can’t set homes for in their own mods like Skeever, Lucien and Eris. Since I can talk to them when they are dismissed. Inigo is the only one I didn’t set a home for because he doesn’t actually stay at home when I set it for him so I just made him relax at my home.
Nonetheless, I’ve learnt my lesson for not using MHIYH for certain followers. My bad.

MHIYH WILL break Lucien, I know from experience. I cannot speak for Skeever or Eris.
Sadly, whilst it might be ok.... do not be surprised if you HAVE given Sa'Chil brain damage. All custom AI followers are susceptible to serious breakage with any alien code is introduced or forced upon them.
If you do something like that, it screws up all kinds of priorities most of the time, and that's why they begin to follow you, even when sent away, turn to leave... but are 'dragged' with you anyway, and clam up and will not work, with few menu options in the UI between they and the PC.
I hope you have not borked her... but it is Russian Roulette to use: Any follower framework; any forced mount mod; or any third party home allocation mod.. on ANY custom followers.

I will be careful with what I do with them. As long as they function as intended, then they’re fine in my book. Thank you for the heads up.
