What did you do to chairs Funcom?

Whatever it was, kindly change it back! My characters don’t care to sit 4 feet away from the dinner table. And while you’re at it… no one likes the sudden “View Obstructed” messages either. Please make those, and the mechanic attached to it, go away!
Oh and this has broken the mod my server (and virtually all RP servers) use for a variety of sitting emotes. You know, since you only ever gave us two. But now those mod sitting emotes no longer work either because of this. This is not cool. I just keep finding more and more things to hate about this update.

You mite be best to ask in the steam workshop forum. this sounds like a mod problem so maybe try finding if that mod author has a discord and let them know it needs an update.

This absolutely wasn’t a mod issue. Apparently the thralls need the chairs much further from tables than makes any sense in order to use them. Having chairs “too close” to a table is what results in the thralls standing on the table rather than using the chair. The problems player characters experience when trying to use chairs near tables happens in both base game chairs and chairs from mods. The mod that gives us different sitting animations in chairs still works perfectly for all the other emotes it gives us. Only the emotes for sitting in chairs is effected. It’s definitely a problem caused by Funcom, not mods.

Funcom changed the chairs to accommodate the thralls. That is a vanilla change. Modders will have to do things differently but I don’t know if they can fix everything.

But certainly Funcom won’t revert that change since it’s tied to their living settlements :frowning: They might improve it… perhaps.

In the meantime you can still do the animations and place your character manually with the puppeteer of the DD mod. Yea it’s a hassle, to the point where people are sitting less. But it works.

Yes you can do the “sit on ledge” emotes which are different from the chair sitting emotes. And they require you to jump up and stand on the chair first to execute the emote and then adjust your character’s position. And absolutely that’s resulting in players using chairs far less. But even without a table in the way they have broken some of their own DLC benches as well. This is the Aquilonian bench.

Yea beds are also a mess, it puts you in sleep animation floating above it and facing wrong direction etc.

Best chapter ever for RPers.

Been a very busy few days for me. I don’t recall if I mentioned this before or not but since it’s quasi related I’ll put it here just in case.

I moved some already placed chairs without picking them back up a few days ago and this bugged them so that I couldn’t sit in them. Nothing happened if you tried. Thralls however could still use them and it would cause them to disappear and grey out on the follower list. No icon for the thrall anywhere either.

Rescuing the thrall would result in them and their loot bag of stuff re-appearing on said chair.

Returning the chairs to inventory and placing them again fixed this. Fwiw.

Edit to add this was on an official server.
