Estrus Animations Not Playing

[Bluticus]

Whenever I use the Estrus shout on a target, they just stand there with idle animations and nothing else happens. The facial animations and voice all play, but all that happens is this. It's the same for custom characters and vanilla NPCs alike.

As for FNIS, all I see is this:

Well only thing one can say with that information is the obvious, you didnt install estrus correctly as fnis doesnt find any animation files and therefore you also dont have any animations in the game.

 

I can only assume you use MO? (otherwise there is no reason to use fnis 32bit) IF you use MO use the video guide or read the installation guide on the FNIS site on how to launch FNIS with MO. If you use MO and you dont launch fnis correctly out of MO fnis obviously cant find any files as with MO nothing lays within the data folder of skyirm.

 

If you dont use MO well with the information we have as said one can only say you didnt install estrus correctly and fnis cant find files to use.

[Bluticus]

I use the new installer Vortex, I guess that was what caused the issue?

[Bluticus]

I've manually added the Data files from the Estrus mod into the Data file in Skyrim, but for some reason my FNiS still cannot detect the animations from the Estrus mod.

FNIS has not identified which update is Skyrim, 1.9.32 is required for Estrus and has not identified it: game to be updated?
FNIS has not identified XPMS or XPMSE, missing mod? It can also be irrelevant
To be correctly launched, FNIS must put two checkpoints: one on GENDER and the other on SKELETON

 

 

 

[donttouchmethere]

from what I read from your FNIS output, it seems estrus isn't your issue

FNIS can't detect your skyrim version and wont install any animations because of this

 

 

[Bluticus]

I checked my version of Skyrim, it is indeed 1.9.32

 

Spoiler

 

FNiS worked fine for me when I installed ZaZ's Animation Pack, not sure why it can't detect my game version.

[Bluticus]

Okay, I think I fixed it. Turns out I just had to start up FNiS from the Vortex Dashboard. Thanks for the help, pardon my idiocy. ?

The new vortex is similar to Mod Organizer and uses a virtual directory without installing anything into the skyrim folders it just links to the mods folder were the mods are stored without them beeing in the skyrim data folder.

Thats why you need to launch external applications that you want to work with skyrim via vortex as otherwise those programs cant find the necessary files due as said the virtual data folder, like for example fnis, but also tesVedit, bodyslide etc. so if you install a "mod" that includes a external application you need to launch them from vortex as you noticed yourself. Those mods usually also have a extra install guide for use with MO or Vortex.

That has nothing to do with MO. 32-bit is for LE and 64-bit is for SE.

You do not need the gender box ticked unless you have a mod which specifically needs it. The skeleton arm fix is the only one needed for the vast majority of users.

 

The OP has a problem with his skeleton. Probably something has overwritten it. It should show female: XPMS2HDT (115 bones) and the same for male.

In fact it is what he lacks, for the rest, being now used to the use (check out Gender) it seems so obvious to use it?

It has something to do with MO, as MO is not able to launch 64bit applications.... Fnis for LE had a 64bit version aswell on previous versions.... he removed the download for it with version 7.4 due peoples confusion (see quote below or just look on the fnis site yourself)....

Though I have to admit I didnt remember there is only a 32bit download for the recent versions.

Quote

Release of FNIS (LE) as 32bit applications only (too much hazzle for many users to decide between FNIS 32/64 bit)

 

Also his issue has already been solved the OP doesnt have a problem with the skeleton as Estrus doesnt require xpmse or other custom skeletons.... OP simply uses vortex and didnt launch FNIS through Vortex like you have to, same as with MO as he stated himself therefore even if he has a custom skeleton installed (which isnt required for estrus according to his requirments post) FNIS simply cant recognize it if not launched via Vortex.

It has nothing to do with MO. I don't use MO and use the 32-bit FNIS and always have. So therefore, your original comment is incorrect. You waffling about previous versions of FNIS is irrelevant as the OP is clearly using version 3.4.5.

What 64-bit applications would these be in a 32-bit game?

 

I never said that this was a problem with his skeleton. I mentioned the skeleton because a: Lestat repated the nonsense about needing the gender patch ticked and b: 99% of people use the XPMSE skeleton and it should read 115 bones. If the OP is using that skeleton then there is something wrong which will cause problems elsewhere.

 

Well it seems that humble NMM has the advantage over MO and Vortex. I frequently run FNIS from the desktop shortcut. Strange that FNIS puts a shortcut there if you can't use it.

omfg.... is it that hard to read? yes it has something to do with MO as MO CANT LAUNCH 64 BIT APPLICATIONS WHICH LED TO A ERROR IN PREVIOUS VERSIONS AS THE PREVIOUS FNIS VERSION HAD A 64BIT VERSION YOU COULDNT USE WITH MO ALONGSIDE WITH A 32BIT VERSION FOR DOWNLOAD AND AS I ALREADY SAID I DIDNT REMEMBER HE REMOVED THE 64BIT VERSION ALREADY SO IT DOESNT MATTER ANYWAY.....god damn it....

And unlike your claim 32bit and 64bit has nothing to do with LE or not as previous FNIS versions had both for LE and so does bodyslide....

 

You didnt say OP has a problem with the skeleton?

You literally said he has one regardless why you mentioned it.... and I just explained to you why he doesnt have one as FNIS couldnt even detect it if not launched via Vortex and its not even a requirement anyway.

AS ALREADY SAID FNIS in previous versions and AS ALSO SAID I made the mistake to forget the 64bit version got removed, also bodyslide which you (like previous fnis) cant fucking launch without error with MO using the wrong version.... the games architetecture has nothing to do with external applications that dont even run along nor hook into the game like those mentioned....

My god you ****** you act entitled while you only talk crap.... yes strange because FNIS doesnt create a shortcut... FNIS has no installer that even could create a shortcut on the installation....

Also again... vortex and MO use a virtual directory which only links to the mods folders which are not actually installed the regular way. Therefore FNIS if not launched within said virtual directory cant find anything as there basicly is nothing besides links... and its not a advantage to just use a diffrent shortcut.... whatever peope like you annoy the heck out of me not only do you have no idea about the diffrent modding methods because you never even tried to inform yourself about something else then NMM you dont even see that you lack knowledge in that topic....

If you dont understand the advantages of a virtual directory you are ..... whatever.... wasted enough time on you consider yourself ignored your comments from begin on where utterly pointless as OP already fixed his problem and beises the gender stuff from the other guy tried to correct something that doesnt need correction.

Thats why you can now proudly consider yourself part of my ignored user list which only one other person on this site made it to congrats.

 

bye and read a bit about modding with MO and Vortex before you try to spout shit.

[Grey Cloud]

Try not to get hysterical.

 

"When you exit  GenerateFNISforUsers.exe, you  will be asked if a shortcut to the tool shall be created on your desktop.
Say "YES" when installing MANUALLY (STRONGLY recommended - you will need the generator quite frequently)
Say "Abort" when installing through NMM or MO." - Readme.txt in the FNIS folder.

So it appears I was only half-right. It is only a manual install which gives the shortcut.

I know that and never implied otherwise. I merely said that NMM appears to have the advantage in this particular issue.

How is this relevant?

 

You still haven't explained what 64-bit applications were used in a 32-bit game.

You keep having to twist my words in an effort to prove me wrong. I did not say the current problem was due to the skeleton I said he had a problem with the skeleton. Estrus may not require XPMSE but what about the rest of his mods and animations?

[Electric Aether]

Also having the same problem

Even started FNIS from vortex dashboard

[Ldab]

I've had to reinstall thanks to a hard drive crash and now the animations for any custom mod aren't working at all. With the Estrus mod casting a spell like the screen shot at the top the victim just stands there naked in the idle animation state. I have run FNIS and everything looks good

 

 

 

and MO looks like this

 

Anyone have any ideas I have tried doing a basic installation of SexLab and get the some kind of problem the anims just aren't working even if FNIS says it's generated the anims. Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

 

[Grey Cloud]

Everything does not look god with FNIS. For starters the skeleton should show 115 bones.

Not related to your problem per se but you do not need the GENDER specific animations box ticked. It clearly states that you have No GENDER directory male and the same for female.

I don't use MO but I would suggest you double-check you have FNIS correctly set up to work with MO.

What @Grey Cloud said PLUS get the skeleton as he suggested. You want the XPMSE skeleton found here: 

When you go to download it the LE version is the top one.

[Ldab]

Thanks for the replies. I'll try the download and get back to you with a result.

[Ldab]

Ok I've turned off the tick boxes in FNIS and installed the file as suggested including the other requirements 

 

HDT Physics Extensions

RaceMenu

 

But I'm still getting 99 bones in FNIS and no animations.

Any reason why I'm getting the lower bone count after installing the extended skeleton. The files were installed Through MO.

[Ldab]

It's probably worth mentioning that my Skyrim is an original with the DLC installed do I need a patch to make it the Legendary Edition?. The Skeleton file is also out of date a newer one is available. I've installed that version 4.6 and still get 99 bones in FNIS.
