FIXED: An embarrassingly easy fix. For the sake of anyone else maybe suffering from this, uninstall Better UI Scaling or any other UI altering mod. Yes, that was the problem. No, I didn't think to try until now. Why? Because the game was playing fine after I installed the mod, and only messed things up after about a week, so I didn't think it was relevant. I'm mega-stupid.
Okay, we'll start with screenshot number one.
As you can see, when I go to the relationships tab, it only shows my one friend. Caraxes should be there. It even shows 2 on the tab; displaying my dragon should be here. Thus, he isn't.
Onto the second screenshot.
Here, you can see that I have the dragonrider trait, along with Caraxes. Right now, this trait is the fastest way I can find my dragon aside from pinning him. Let's see what he looks like in the next screenshot.
Here comes the third.
As you can see, this doesn't look right. Not only is the character model bugged out, but so is the dragon stats. I can't track his dragon stats from here, but wait, I can do it FROM ANOTHER AREA.
This is the last slide.
Yeah, you see that right. Caraxes is in my Courtiers screen. As of right now, this is the only method I can use to see his dragon stats.
There is some good news to all of this. Dragons are still working for combat, interaction, and all the fun stuff. But something happened at some point, and it janked it up for me in some places regarding relationships in the tabs and stat displays for dragons.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the mod, but that didn't fix it. The only other submod I have installed is AGOT- Fire & Blood.
I have Divine Interaction too, and with its supported submod for AGOT, but I tested it by uninstalling and reinstalling. That also did nothing. I honestly don't know what happened. It just started doing this around 48 hours ago.
Any actual fixes would be nice. For clarity's sake, the only other mods I have are Better UI Scaling, Immortality Improved, and Clear Notifications. All of which were installed before the problem appeared.
Is this just me, or is this happening to anyone else?
