SexLab, how do you start animations?

[nitroike]

Ok, I must be missing something really obvious. I've installed all the mods needed...SexLab, M2M Gay Animations, SexLab SubMit & Matchmaker, and all prereqs...but I can't figure out what I need to do to start the actual sex animations. I figured out to press "N" to take control of a character, or with Submit how to do conversations, but then when it gets to where I would think it would start an animation, he just walks away. What am I doing wrong?

One doesn't use SexLab to start an animation. SexLab takes care of the 'behind the scenes' mechanics of things. Usually one has mods which provide dialogue options to start sex, e.g. prostitutions mods or slavery mods. Submit is a combat sex mod where you submit rather than fight to the death.

Assuming you have everything else required and set up correctly then you could use Matchmaker.

UPDATE: I think I was able to figure out how to start animations, but now the characters just stand in the same spot and do nothing when animation is supposed to be happening. I can hear sound effects, and when I press End it acts like it was animating.

Did you update FNIS? You need this - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11811 - to fully install animations. You can start animations through sexlab by targeting another person and using the animation editor tab. I think that's what it's called but it might be something else, there'll be a drop down that lets you pick which animation you'd like to use, or you can download some other mod that starts animations without the MCM

Yes I've attempted to reinstall FNIS a few times, is there something else I need to do to update it? I've also tried re-sorting the load order with the Skeleton mod below SOS, and FNIS last, but I'm still getting a message that the animation has started, and then my character and the NPC just stacked on top of each other with nothing happening. Please help

Ok I think I got it..I watched a youtube video that explained how to open FNIS as an executable, which then updated itself and now the animations are happening! Thank you very much for your help.

Glad you got it working. Just remember that you have to run FNIS any time you add or remove animation packs or the skeleton otherwise you will get the T-Pose.

ACTUALIZACIÓN: Creo que pude averiguar cómo iniciar las animaciones, pero ahora los personajes simplemente se paran en el mismo lugar y no hacen nada cuando se supone que la animación está sucediendo. Puedo escuchar efectos de sonido, y cuando presiono Fin, actúa como si estuviera animando.

Sexlab is the framework for sexy times, now go out there and grab a mod that triggers sexlab scenes.

Some start it via dialogue, some force you, some are merly tools like sexlab tools or matchmaker.

Sexlab opens you the door to a lot of debauchery.

 

For just testing use the SL debug spells. You get them if debug in SL is active. Check your spells.

I have M2M gay animations installed. How can I start the animations? Is there supposed to be a menu appearing? A hotkey? Please I've been stuck on this for 2 days.

That's just an animation pack.

 

You need another mod to actually make animations happen. Matchmaker does it quick and simple, although its more for testing to make sure things work.
