Invisible lover bug?

[rodrigo2]

Is there any general known cause of why when your PC hooks up with an NPC, the NPC would become invisible during the animation while your PC goes through all the appropriate motions and positions for the animation?  Anything I can do to prevent this?

 

Also, sometimes when an animation begins, the NPC will strip down except for her shoes and possibly a veil.  Any cause for incomplete undressing?  I'm playing SSE and the animation packs I'm using are all for SSE.

I don't know that it is your issue but that is commonly caused by an incorrect/unsupported skeleton. Are you doing this using an unusual race/follower?

My PC is a female Breton and I do notice a difference in height between her and Nord women.  And that, of course, causes the animations to be off a little.  Would that trigger the invisibility?

No. The vanilla game makes Bretons shorter than Nords. Have you built your bodies in Bodyslide?

[rodrigo2]

I use UNP Blessed Body.  No, I've never used bodyslide.  Do I need to use bodyslide to make animations "fit" better?

I notice it can happen if your camera is too close to the actors when animation starts. Skyrim's "actor culling" is something that tries to hide things that are not in camera's visible area but it's not refreshed even if you have free camera mode on during anim.

So the solution is to zoom out a bit and make sure both are in good view immediately.
