Have Questions About SexLab....

[Sandatharius]

Apologies if this isn't the right section to post this.

I was under the mistaken impression that the main SexLab mod came with animations. I discovered that it didn't. What is recommended as a good animation package (or packages) to start with?

Mods that use scripts are usually not advisable to be installed (or removed) mid-play through.....but does anyone have an experience that makes this mod the exception? I suppose I could start a new game if I really had to.

I did have this installed about a year ago. At that time, I experienced misalignment of the actors during animations. And not just slight misalignment, but performing literally 6 game feet away from each other. I don't know if it was something with mods conflicting. Is this a common issue with SexLab?

Thanks for any insights and help.

1) SexLab does come with a (relatively) small number of animations 

2) I don't recommend starting SexLab in the middle of a playthrough. It can be done but if you're not used to doing that sort of thing you'll probably wind up very frustrated

3) I recommend anything by Billyy (go to the search engine in the upper right hand corner and type his name; from the dropdpwn select "titles only"; then hit Search (the magnifying glass). Don't forget to get SexLab Animation Loader (SLAL) when you get more animations.

Great....thank you for the reply.

 

Any thoughts on my issue with misaligned animations? I haven't installed SL yet, just debating a few things.

There are usually minor misalignments. Impossible to completely avoid due to different actor sizes.

 

However during sex animation you can align animation and Sexlab will save that alignment for the races involved. Before creating new game you can export that alignment profile and then import profile when creating next new game. After playing game for some time you can actually get rid of most misalignments by using that method.

Some of the built-in animations can be heavily misaligned. Just disable them in Sexlab's Toggle Animation window.

Thanks for the replies! One more question......in Flower Girls, there's an animation selector that allows you to choose a specific animation, depending on the type of sex. Is that possible with SexLab? I have Matchmaker and Animation Selector, but the latter just allows you to enable or disable animations, not let you choose one specific one for the session you want to initiate. So if I wanted a cowgirl animation, would I have to filter out everything else except those specific animations? Sorry, I'm just a bit confused as to the mechanics of the mods and additions.

Also, is there any way to choose a location? After initiating sex, it seems to happen where the PC is standing. Any mods that allows to go to a location?

The short answer is "usually not".

 

But indirectly it is possible via Sexlab's Toggle Animation window. Disable animations you don't want Sexlab to use.

 

However mods are typically using tags to search for animations. E.g. "Aggressive" or "Oral". While "Oral" is quite specific "Aggressive" is not. So usually not possible to completely control the exact animation being used.

You may activate "use bed" in sexlab mcm menu.  so when start anmation, actors try to serch bed and use it.

if you start sex in location where there is bed, it usually work.

 

I tried follow me for sex (SE))  then it offer marker where start sex.. so in some place I set marker. because there is case sexlab not find bed which I hope to use.. (some mod added bed not used often)  .

 

Then when set marker (follow me for sex), I may recommend , decorator helper, and set marker where you need.

(sorry the mod link is for SE, if you are LE user, serch LE version. (follow me for sex)  though I do not think decorator helper is offered for SE, but there were Jaxosn positioner for LE I remember... it should work (I did not use it though)

Then I happend to get new mod idea.. if there is mod which can change location when start sex... and quickly return actors.

we can make scene as we need.... (custom made cell with many items etc ^^;) without change location... 

as if capture NPC in dream...

Appreciate all the replies. I have found that the Billyy animations line up very well, and most things I have figured out.

I do have an issue that I am having trouble with, I downloaded Ceraph the Succubus Futa follower and the animations don't seem consistent.

BJ animations work fine with the Succubus assuming the male role and my character (genetic female) taking the female role and preforming on the Succubus. But any penetration animation works the opposite. My character uses a strap-on and the Succubus is in the 'female' role. I have the Succubus selected as "Male" in Sexlab, and my character is set as "Female" - so I don't understand why that is happening. Any ideas on what could be causing that?
