Hello, This is my first time making a Skyrim modpack. Currently I am stuck t-posing in game. I suspect that the issue has something to do with Sexlab p+ and my animation mods and/or Pandora but I'm not sure how to fix it. Thanks in advance for the help. Pandora engine log link: https://pastebin.com/kv5tnMjE Modlist:

I don't get it the path is seems to be correct and there is no issue with CBO, so why doesn't it work here?

The Discord tab on this website leads to an invite that doesn't work. Is there another way for me to join the Discord group?

In animations involving deathclaws their lower half will animate (dick appears and they thrust) but their upper half won't and will continue to idle. This may go for other creatures as well but I haven't encountered them. I removed the only mod I'm using that replaced the deathclaw's skeleton (Allnarta`s Sexout Animations) but this didn't help. I've gone through my small selection of Sexout mods and am not missing any required files. I even tried installing Sexout Common Resources to no effect. Everything else functions fine it's just (as far as I'm aware) deathclaw anims. Archive invalidation is also functioning as intended. Below I have attached my mod load order as well as a screenshot of the issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

View File SeX Addon Mechineki Support PoV At the moment, textures are ready and included in the mod only for female characters and futanari. Animation for the first actor is also ready. File requirement The main rasa mod Mechineki ! A mod to support race. PoV Addon. Feedback: Bug reports and constructive suggestions are very important for the further development of the mod. Please leave them in the comments to the mod. Submitter GamerokVKOMPUKTER Submitted 12/23/2025 Category Starbound  

This post was originally published in December 2016 and has been rewritten. One of the greatest tools I have personally used during my decade in playing and modding Skyrim is Mod Organizer. There are a couple of competitors, but I have found that Mod Organizer has become my go-to support for building my various playthroughs with acutely defined mod lists to make each new game slightly different. With this in mind, when I first wrote this blog post in 2016, I was still very fresh into that journey. I still had the habit of downloading everything and scanning over a mod’s requirement list without really considering the order of mods. I had come from Nexus Mod Manager (now replaced with Vortex Mod Manager), which, at the time, meant installing mods directly into the Data folder. This meant paying attention to the order of installs, something my over-excited and inpatient undiagnosed ADHD brain was unable to manage well at the time. Welcome Crash-To-Desktop, abbreviated to CTD—my old friend. Countless hours of installing, updating, removing, and re-ordering have brought me to be confident in using Mod Organizer today. Along that journey, I developed my own techniques and learned my way around the tool. I learned a lot from the Gopher video series on YouTube, while GamerPoets has a relatively simple video on getting started with the basics. But during my time, there were a couple of little tricks that I picked up, and knowing some of these may just help you, even when you are trying to fight against the rush to just get everything installed and get up and running. To help with your modding journey in the long run, here are some of my learns during my time that I want to share, as they might just help you. While this article primarily focuses on Skyrim, the same concepts can apply to other games in the Bethesda family. MAKE BASE PROFILES There’s always a mod that requires a new game in order to work, or you discover a trove of mods that could make a great new playthrough on a new character. Or maybe you just want to start from scratch? Such mods like Alternative Start – Live Another Life offers a quick way to skip the open sequence of Skyrim. With various add-ons to give you a plethora of options on how to start your adventure, it saves a lot of time when you want to get straight into a new game. But what about your mod list? In the days of upscaled textures, improved meshes, and redesigned visuals, setting up a new game could also include setting up a new mod list and ticking all of the appropriate mods to start out with. Having a base profile of mods that you will use every time you start is a great way to speed up that process. How to build this will highly depend on your play style and your favorite mods that you may have. Do you always play the same race or gender? Do you always start with the same scenario from Alternative Start? Do you prefer to start from a different location to the game’s default? Do you ignore the main quest altogether, or do at least the Helgen quest for the handful of mods that require you to be past this part in order to use them? These are things I consider when I make a base profile. I usually set mine up with mesh and texture upgrades, location improvements, and lightweight mods such as armor or weapon additions. I tend to leave script mods out due to the nature of how they implement themselves into the game unless they are particularly lightweight or complete. For example, I will load up SkyUI and RaceMenu as I prefer these interfaces, and these mods are mostly complete or have minimal updates and are quite lightweight. Patches are also a good idea to have in base profiles. While it’s useful to have a base profile, it’s still good to check those mods for updates through the updater in Mod Organizer before using them. LOAD HEAVY MODS IN SMALL CELLS This is more for Legacy Skyrim than the Special/Anniversary editions, but it is an option if you feel your system struggles with mods. Even though Special/Anniversary editions of Skyrim are a lot more stable, loading the mods in small cells will allow you to safely check out and test out any changes or updates. While 1.6.x hasn’t given me any problems, I find it handy to do from time to time, particularly if I’m looking at installing or updating a couple of script-heavy mods at once. KEEP A PERSONAL EDITS MOD Mods are becoming more intuitive. A lot of them now offer us ways to randomize or customize our games a lot more than we could previously, and with this comes an increased opportunity for users to tweak mods to their own preferences. But what is the best way to manage this? First, I’ll share what I recommend you not to do, and that is store your customizations directly in the mod that you are making tweaks to. Adding a customer body texture that you’ve worked on and made some edits to your liking—that’s great! But what if that mod comes to update, and you accidentally hit Replace, and the entire mod is replaced with a new instance leaving your custom texture gone, and you didn’t set for an auto-backup? Obviously, I hope that you created another back of your texture somewhere else, but we are looking worst possible scenario, and mistakes can happen. Backups are always encouraged, but there is another way to avoid this type of issue, and that is to create a personal mod that is to keep a personal edits mod. This is essentially creating a mod that sits at the bottom of your priority list and holds all your personal edits inside. Mod Organizer’s function to have a priority mod order means that adding this to the bottom of your mod list (but still having the correct Data structure inside) means that these files will always overwrite anything in the mod that is higher on the order list. And, if you install an update, your edits will not be touched (but still keep a backup, just in case). It would be handy to make a note of what edits you made to what mods, and this takes us nicely into the next tip! USE THE NOTES SYSTEM When you download a mod from the Nexus, it typically comes with all the metadata. Description, version number, link to to mod page, and other pieces of information to create a clean trail back should you need to check for any updates, changes, or instructions. This is particularly handy to have, but it only works on an information basis. It’s not unique to you and your setup, and this is where notes will come in handy. What if you need a certain version to run on your game version (1.5.x versus 1.6.x for example), or you have a certain version download that has features a new version has removed, but you want to keep the old version? It can become quite complicated over time to remember all these changes to the point that you accidentally download and overwrite a previous file, and suddenly, you lose those features, or your game starts to crash. The same applies to mods that you download which are not Nexus-based. These mods likely won’t have descriptions, version numbers, or other details and leave you more at risk of slipping up. While I encourage at least updating the version number and a link to the download page, we all know that mods can be more complex than this. Adding a note on a mod about your personal setup (or profile, if you have multiple) and needs to get your game to work can be a lifesaver. It serves as a reminder of what you may or may not want to download, what version you need, and if you really need to upgrade or stick with what you have. Unless you play every day and you have memorized your complete mod order and all appropriate mod version numbers, it’s likely that you may forget during breaks (I certainly have) and come back to just update everything to new versions without thinking twice. Simple notes are best, something that just keeps you right in times when you need that little nudge on what you did before. It’s important to note that notes are saved inside the INI files that Mod Organizer creates. If you install a new mod and use the Replace option, or if your mod has an INI file as an option and you use the Replace or Merge options, or even replace the whole folder, you will lose your notes. A way around this is to install your updated mod with a new name (I append my new update mods with the version number when installing to compare changes) and move your notes over to the new version before deleting the old one. - - - I hope that some of these suggestions are helpful and put a good case forward for you to consider. Not all of these will work for you, but the important thing is to find a system that works for you. Modding, even as an end-user adding these custom creations into your game, can be a lot of work. With a little forward planning, you can reduce the time spent raiding support posts on the mod and hunting Reddit threads looking for the answer and get you back up and running with less hassle than necessary.

LAST UPDATED: 28 February 2024 - updated a couple of links for SE/AE and added Practical Defeat. There are posts that appear in the forum commonly asking for gay mods or mods with male/male content for Skyrim. These requests are normally due to the lack of research or understanding of the vast amount of content that LoversLab and other modding sites have to offer for players who are looking for male/male-themed content. So today, I bring you a guide on the content available and how to get started. FIRST THINGS FIRST! Before you get started, there are a few important things you must remember when reading this guide: THIS IS ONLY A REFERENCE GUIDE - I will list a number of different mods and types of content that you can use and how they can be added to a male/male play-through. It is ultimately your decision on what content you wish to use in your loadout. THESE ARE NOT MY RECOMMENDATIONS - My play style will be different from yours. I am not into giving recommendations. I highly encourage you to make your own decisions by utilizing the list below and trying the mods out yourself. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS OF EVERY MOD - You will need to read through the download and support pages of each mod to use them. I cannot stress how important this is. Failure to read them may break your game or mods not working correctly. I learned the hard way, and I encourage you, if you want to be serious about this, to make the time to read and learn. It's not complicated but it requires attention. THE BASICS OF MODDING Before you start your journey into adding mods to your games you need to understand some of the basics. This will help you as you venture forth. THERE IS A LIMIT - There is a general limit of 255 different plugins (ESP and ESM files). It is said that going over this can cause Skyrim to show more glitches and bugs. USE A MOD ORGANISER - The best way to add and remove mods is with a mod organizer. Modding manually can become problematic when files depend on each other. LEGACY OR SPECIAL EDITION - Be aware of mods that are compatible with Legacy Edition (32-bit) or Special/Anniversary Edition (64-bit) versions of Skyrim and know which version you have. For more reading, here are some good guides on the internet that will give you the basics: BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO MODDING SKYRIM - a visual video guide by Gopher that covers a lot of modding topics, including ModOrganizer (recommended organizer) and FNIS (required for animations). They might look like long videos, but they show you step-by-step what to do and what to look out for to help you understand how modding programs and tools work. r/SKYRIMMODS BEGINNER'S GUIDE - A text guide from Reddit that covers both Legacy and SSE editions of Skyrim. r/SKYRIMMODS ABSOLUTE BEGINNER'S GUIDE - An alternative guide written by conspiringdawg which breaks down the workings of mods. There are more guides out there if you need something more specific. Simply use your search engine for more results. Now before I start to list some mods, I want to take a moment once again to remind you that it is really imperative that you read the instructions for installing these mods. Installing them in the incorrect order or without other required mods can result in them not working and will get frustrating. I will also admit that following the steps can also sometimes result in things not working and this is equally as disappointing. Every person's load order is different and modding is not perfect. You might need to install one mod before another or change the order you have your mods in. ModOrganizer and LOOT will help with this so do take some time to read and understand more about them. Each mod will also have its benefits and limitations. Understanding what these are will help you with your choices in what to install/activate and what not to do. Pay attention to these benefits and limitations to enhance your experience. Now, onto the mods! MOD CATALOGUE Below is the catalog of mods that can be used for male/male content. I have not listed every mod as I am either still working on this extensive list or I have never played or used them. I have listed their pros ( + ) and cons ( - ), but understand these are my own personal opinions on them, and it will be down to your own choices and decisions as to what works for you. They are not all from Loverslab and will be from other sources. I have included links where possible and also if the links are to Legacy Edition or Special Edition/Anniversary Edition (SE/AE). I have also listed a couple of Next Generation (NG) mods where applicable, but make sure you read up on your options before you decide which one to go with. Again, these are not my recommendations. This is an alphabetical list for ease and my own opinions are only my own. Each and every mod author has worked hard on the content they create and we each should remember that it's their choice on what they wish to create and respect their work.

I have been playing around with making screenshots and videos lately, mostly jsut for my own entertainment. I was looking over some of my screenshots and videos from past and the facial expressions were a bit, well... bland. They work good for SexLab but when you see the same ones expression over and over it can be repeatative. I've played with the MFG Console mod in the past and made screenshots using poser mods and that was all good and fun. I installed the Main Menu Wallpaper Randomizer mod a while back and have my my own wallpapers for my game as well as using some screenshots for roleplaying profiles. I've now started to upgrade them by editing the facial expressions and making more wallpapers. Another thing I've started looking at is adding more expressions into the SexLab Framework. I haven't looked at trying this before but while looking for a cum/enjoyment bar (which sadly I did not find) I saw the expressions editor and had a better look at it instead of my normal browising past it. I decided to play about with these settings a bit to make some more expressions to use in my game, inportantly looking at adding more victim and agreesive expressions. As I made them, I started writing down the setting for each one so that I wouldn't forgot them, which then brings me to this post. I thought a little master list with expressions and screenshots might help other players get some good expressions that work from them. So here I am ready to share my experiments. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL EXAMPLES AND MFG SHOTS WILL MOSTLY INCLUDE MALE ON MALE ACTORS AND SOMETIMES MALE CREATURES MAY BE INVOLVED. IF THIS IS NOT YOUR THING PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE. STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. • The Novice The Novice was meant to be for a character who is still new to penetrative sex. The expression used is disgust to show that the character may not entirely be enjoying the scene, maybe due to not being used to the feeling or it only being their first few times being penetrated. The eyes are closed using the modifier (hint: don’t make the setting 100 as their eyes lids can overlap) and their mouth is opened slightly using the phoneme Eee option to make it look like their teeth are gritted. Examples: Settings used: mfg expression 6 100 mfg modifier 0 80 mfg modifier 1 80 mfg phoneme 5 50 • The Spanker The Spanker is as the title suggests, it is fir a character in the role of being the disciplinarian in a spanking scene. Using the anger expression and the Dst option to open his month and bare is teeth a bit, but not too much. I haven't been able to get a gritted teeth look just yet. The angry expression works well to make the character fit the role. Examples: Settings used: mfg expression 0 100 mfg phoneme 4 40 mfg phoneme 5 40 • The Spankee The Spankee is the opposite to the Spanker where it is the character in the receiving position. The purpose is for the character to look like they are struggling and the pain for the spanking is affecting them. Against using Dst to open the mouth only a little while closing the character's eyes and narrowing their brow, it looks like they are trying their best not to let the spanking get to them. Examples: Settings used: mfg modifier 0 100 mfg modifier 1 100 mfg modifier 2 50 mfg modifier 3 50 mfg phoneme 4 40 I hope you will find some of these useful for screenshots or videos. I will add a guide at somepoint to go with the Expression Editor in Sexlab so people can utilize these. -

Hello! I have not been modding the game since 2021 and slowly coming back. I encountered an issue where SKSE is not launching through MO2, and so I have come here to ask for external opinion on whether or not my load order is correct. I hope someone has a little bit of time to take a peak and tell me what I have done wrong, I have been diligent and reading every single mod and its requirements. Thanksies in advance ❤️❤️❤️ loadorder.txt modlist.txt

i recently had an issue with DCL CTD on save load (managed to fix that by getting the XXL version of FNIS) but it still won't load in MCM Here is my Load Order & a Papyrus Log I have also tried Jaxonz MCM Kicker & the setstage command but both proved unfruitful if anyone can help it would be really appreciated Papyrus.0.log Load Order.txt
