Dance of Death, Why U No Work?

So since the author of the mod isn't answering me, I figured I'd toss this out here and see if anyone knows what I can do. Here is EXACTLY what I did, and EXACTLY how things are going now:

 

I downloaded and installed the original Dance of Death mod and it worked great. Then along comes Dawnguard, and with that the Dawnguard version of DoD. "Oh," I say to myself, "I can upgrade the whole thing just by dumping this one into my data folder, right?" Wrong. Apparently something he didn't put on his Nexus page at the time was that you need to remove the old version before attempting to install the new. But of course I didn't know that, so imagine my confusion when not only does DoD not work, I can't get ANY kill move AT ALL.

 

I set the killmove chance to 100%, and the decapitation chance to 100%, but nothing. I have the one handed skill that gives me the decapitation chance, but that shouldn't matter because I have the perk restrictions turned off. I even tried switching a sword to my main hand on the off chance that I can't decapitate with a dagger (though I'm pretty sure I was doing that back when it worked).

 

So then when I wise up to the fact you have to remove the old version from the data folder, which I do, and then pop back in Skyrim to chop off some heads. Do heads roll? No. And the haven't since.

 

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the mod several times. I noticed he recently posted a new version, The Dance of Death 3-3 Fixed, so I installed that because I thought maybe he fixed my problem. Nope. I have uninstalled the Dawnguard version, reinstalled the old version, uninstalled that and reinstalled the Dawnguard version, just to see if that would work, and it didn't. I have moved DoD up and down my load order, first at the top, then the middle, then at the bottom, to no avail. Before anyone asks, NONE of the mods I have would conflict with this. NOTHING I have affects the animations of kill moves, the kill move chance, or the decapitation chance.

 

So, my dear beloved Skyrim community. What the fuck do I do now?

 

Edit: Yes, I've updated FNIS.

Well I would be surprised if really none of your mods conflicts with DoD cause update.esm, Dawnguard.esm and DoD.esp originally conflict with each other :)

...even with all these fixes ^^

Sorry if this question bothers you but did you also deinstall all pex- and psc-files in the scripts folder? Just want to make sure ^^

 

Have you made a clean save? Disabling all mods, loading savefile, making a new savefile and reloading all mods?

 

In general DoD is quite stable without so many problems but for me the settings do not take effect for 100%...have you checked the other settings? For example enabling "perk restriction"? Or "Last enemy condition"? Does those settings take full effect or not?

Sorry for previous attitude, I'm just fed up and frustrated. I've tried changing the settings, enabled and disabled perk restrictions, enabled and disabled last enemy, you name it. I'll do as you suggest and disable all mods and hard save, then turn them all back on.

THANK YOU! I did as you suggested and hard saved without my mods, then plugged them all in again, and it works like a charm. No idea why that would be the issue, but hey, who cares? Heads will roll!

 

Edit: Why did it take you so long to get it to play?

Good to hear it`s working :)

 

I had the problem with VERY random not reproducable freeze-crashes...and all those superb crash fixes you find online did not work...so I had to test really everything...and that takes time ^^

 

But with the 1.8 patch it seems to run smoothly for me...for the moment ^^

I have the exact same problem as above, but I've already made a clean save and even un-installed the entire game (due to corruption), the only thing I can think of that is causing this is the supposedly "compatable" mod called Deadly Mutilation.

 

Now nothing works and I am sick and tired of doing this over and over again.

I'll just play without killmoves.

Try updating ur FNIS !!

It's work for me last time had this problem !!

And how do I do that? Download the latest FNIS and erase all the old ones?

It would seem like you'll need the old files as well D:

 

My question is: How do I Update FNIS Properly?

Just downloading FNIS isn't enough. You have to go to tools and run GenerateFNIS_for_Users.

 

Also, I noticed that for me the 4.0 Ultimate edition made it so daggers couldn't produce kill moves but the 4.0 regular edition dagger killmoves work just fine.
