@jaeos giving good advice again… ?

 

 

For those who are interested in FO4 too. I started working on it again:

 

This time it will be close to what we got here (and with way less mods to download ?).

you are using MO2 right? if you are, just delete the fnis output mod you created, deregister creatures, let fnis degeister everything, close it, delete the overwrite contents, open fnis, and run it with the first three boxes checked, i'm having a few issues on my own, i think it's the hdt i installed, ankles, waist, and shoulders are all ragdoll windmilling DURING a scene. it may be that inflation mod too. time to play around with stuff again.. damn you bethesda.

i've got a pretty good setup in FO4 using aaf had to hunt over the enirety of lovers lab for some of them, but i found a race mod that works really well with the fallout world, (mostly)(comments about i should be naked and why would you armor a sexbot is annoying) so take a look at A.S.I.A. and a clothing mod cyberpunk 2077 (i think the numbers are right) 

It might be worth the look since the mod doesn't activate until you read one specific screen.

Make sure all of your animations are installed when you run FNIS and that you have the extended skeleton installed (XPMSE I think). Also, check the "skeletal arm fix" in FNIS before you run it. Copy and paste the output (in the main FNIS window) if you get any errors and we'll see if we can fix them.

Done; when I tick the "Skeletton Arm Fix" and "HKX File Compatibility Check Skyrim/SSE" boxes, FNIS gives me a warning for every single animation ("not Skyrim compatible")!

With only the "Skeletton Arm fix" box ticked, I get these:

That's really weird. How are you installing mods? Are you using Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 or are you using NMM/manually installing them? If it's the latter, you really should clear out your data folder and verify your files so you'll have just the Skyrim mods (skyrim.esm, update.esm, all 3 DLCs, and their associated bsas). If you don't have all of the DLCs and/or your Skyrim isn't the version released this past June, then that might explain why you're having issues.

First time I manually installed the mods (with the help of 7zip), yesterday I deleted the game and all files for a clean re-install and today I installed all mods again but with NMM. I'm sure I have the latest version of Sexlab and the right versions of the Scrip Extender and other required mods, too.

The Skyrim version I have installed is the Special Edition on Steam (store page says released on 28 Oct, 2016), so maybe the problem is there?

[Aylis]

This thread is for Skyrim SE.

 

Also check the versions as your log says 'version 1.0':

1. Billy Version 1.8+

2. Leito Version 1.6+

[Guest]

That sounds like you're using the version of FNIS for Oldrim, not SE. I would also verify you're using 64- or 32-bit FNIS depending on what your OS is. The animations not moving and characters just standing there sounds like you don't have FNIS Behavior Pack installed.

 

For the person asking about the heartbeat sound, that isn't SexLab Aroused, it's Dripping When Wet. IMO it's annoying af and I turn if off immediately (and the blur effects too).

 

@Aylis

Been looking for an excuse to go back through FO4. This might do it for me. Incidentally, do you or anyone else know of a good list of mods for FO3 similar to this list? That game remains one of my favorites.

[Aylis]

@eidtelnvil

Mine too. ?

 

Get everything from NMC. You can't get better textures… and there was a mod that added a weaponshop on top of the house of the sheriff in Nuketown. Wish i could remember the name of the mod. ?

Never install mods straight to your folder, if you install the wrong version your just set yourself up to do exactly what you had to do, re download the game and start new, if you clicked the links @Aylisprovided it should take you to the right mods but a 32 vs 64 bit could be happening 

Spoiler

does it look the same as this? (yellow and says at the top skyrim se 64 bit)

or is it blue and looks like this?

Spoiler

This is the generate for modders. unless you are making animations don't use this. you are a user. use the 

Spoiler

 

On a side note.

No i have no reason to believe you are an idiot or moron. I make a ton of mistakes and am simply trying to narrow down the issue you are having by making sure the the fnis you are using is correct. @Aylis, me and several others can help far better with you using MO2 than NMM as we can make actual screenshots from MO2 that points to a specific icon etc.

And on a side side note>

You could have simply grabbed the wrong file for animations. it happens. you usually want the biggest numbers on the file page. i hate loverslab downlolads because of the 10 second wait and you need multiple files from the same page.. but (not true. i hate that it closes the pop-up after 10 seconds and i must reopen it)

[Guest]

Turns out it was the wrong version of FNIS after all ?My apologies!

I've run into another problem though; the sex options for the Enhanced Spouses mod aren't available anymore, there's only an "it's nothing" option. When asking for a kiss, the animation plays (which means the animations themselves now work), though.

looking at the mod page, what's your affection level? if it's at 0 that would explain why nothing is working. it may have reset the affection level so you are starting at scratch

[Guest]

For testing purposes, one can override the affection level in the mod configuration menu, which I did. At this point my wife actually wants to ask for sex, but can't since the sex dialog options aren't available anymore.

It's weird because before, the dialog options were availabe and everything worked, besides the animations themselves of course.

Maybe it's an issue with my load order?

Well, I've found a workaround (sort of) for this bug, it's only a bit of an annoyance now. I think I'll need to try some other mods and see if their sex initiation does work.

what's the workaround, it might lead to what the problem is? is that all the mods you have?

This is what the first page of mine looks like in MO2.

Well, if you set the Spouse Affection level to max (4), she'll want to have sex with you on a roughly daily basis, so she'll occasionally approach you herself (and the player gets a "shout" power at that Affection level to make her do so once a day too). This leads to sex, without the player being able to choose what kind of, but afterwards, when you speak to her again you get two dialog options: One to take a break from sexing, and one to "go for another round" (which at that Affection level she appears to always accept), by which all sex initiation dialog options are available. After having sex that way, you can repeat it (apparently) infinitely (until, of course, you pick the option to take a break).

that sounds like the companion affiliation tree. 

walk to your SO. open the console and click on them. make sure it's them. then type this in

getrelationshiprank player <target> - Gets the relationship rank of the target to the player

if done right it will tell you relationship rank = (0-4)

then if it is not 4 type in 
player.setrelationshiprank XXXXX 4 (xxxxx is the number in the center of the console when you clicked on the SO) AND MAKE SURE THE 4 IS AFTER IT

then setrelationshiprankplayer XXXXX 4

it's set relationship rank all pushed together

Hi again. i had this whole thing working perfectly fine for a while.. this morning, when i launched, MO2 had an update.. and now i have a new problem, following that.  MO2 doesnt launch at all anymore (Windows says he cant access the file path) i cant delete/move or manual update it either as it says i need Admin rights (even though im using the main Admin (Factory admin) account

 

Anyone else having such issue and/or know how to fix?

Google is no longer my bff with this issue >.<

go to the main MO2 install location and find the .exe for it right click send to > desktop just delete the old shortcut

if that isn't the problem and you need admin rights?? thats gonna be harder.

Step one, go to the mod organizer main folder. right click and left click PROPERTIES

Spoiler

you should get a pop-up like this

Spoiler

go to security and look at your permissions

Spoiler

that top line that says full control should be checked. if it is then you have something else rather than just a permissions issue and i can't help. if it is not checked. continue looking at spoilers

click edit

Spoiler

Spoiler

as you see in mine it's greyed out. the permissions is set at a higher folder on mine. (mine is on a seperate drive where admin has full control and not the system (i.e. i''m the "owner") if this does not allow you to change it due to "trusted installers" google "taking ownership of folders win10"

or just click the link

on a side note.\

DO NOT DO THIS ON WINDOWS FILES

[Gulfwulf]

@Dpstyle check out this page for troubleshooting tips.

[Dpstyle]

@jaeos i have full control since im using the all unlocked PC's factory admin (the hidden one from factory windows install)

i cant even right-click the MO.exe it doesnt show with the MO icon, just a blank page icon and when i click (or right-click too) it says windows cant find the file path (says that also when clicking it directly from the MO folder.

 

I found a workaround by installing a new MO2 elsewhere on the PC (different drive) and now i can access MO and it has retained all my mods in correct order ( mod & plugins both).. but whenever i load a game i get a bunch of weird stuff.. my girl is squirting the "Frostbite" spell (even though she doesnt know it.. she's a Nord Shieldmaiden (Axe+Shield build) no magics lol.  but yeah, Frostbite is on 24/7 (burns all magicka, regens, restart) and my camera just keep going into First-person. i tried 4 different saves (which worked perfectly yesterday) this seems to happen with every previous saves.

 

it works with no error if i start anew (i tried one new game)and it works fine.. until i have to save & shut down.. then, reloading that new game triggers the errors and the constant Frostbite & camera switch that i get on all my previous saves

 

Edit: there's also an issue with SkyUI saying it detects SkUI 5.1  when i have the latest on Nexus (5.2) even the MCM shows SkyUI 5.2

[jaeos]

@Dpstyle sounds dumb, but let me install it and see if mine does the dumb switch

(it actually sounds like your install was corrupt when it installed tbh.)

Yeah it just jacked mine to shit too.

[jaeos]

i just had to dl the archive, and unpack it into my existing MO folder

my desktop shortcut still worked, i'll check the rest as well..

[Dpstyle]

when i did it (DL the archive and extract to MO folder) it wouldnt let me copy/overwrite the broken MO.exe in there, saying my Admin account didnt have the admin rights to do it.. thats why i ended up re-installing elsewhere
