[FO4] AAF (Advanced Animation Framework) Causes an infinite loading screen when trying to load a save.

[Mark263]

If I start a new game, after selecting a character, the game freezes after a couple of seconds.
I installed gfv, it shows some missing files but doesn't show any details! How do I know what these files are?

 

All this happens when I enable AAF_Beta_161.1-31304-161-1b-1610914138.  If I disable this version of aaf the game loads with f4se. One more thing - if I download and install AAF Beta 66-31304-66b-1552709085 - the game loads the save, shows the loading list in green animation and at the end it says "AAF SYSTEM CRASH" "This XML file has bad formatting and could be parsed: Leito_SM_AnimationData_Furniture.xml

*Normally* the issue of infinite load on a new game can be solved by waiting for 1 minute and then pressing enter / e a few times as there are message boxes that try and populate prior to the cut-scene occurring.

 

However, you have a more serious issue to deal with:

You don't have F4SE's scripts installed.  This is going to be a major issue for any mods relying on those scripts and will cause them to fail to properly initialize in your game.  Reinstall the newest F4SE and be sure to copy all the files from the archive including data folder.
Or if using Vortex, F4SE can be installed in Vortex just like any other mod.  And always use the F4SE_Loader run as a tool from the mod manager to start the game.

 

You should be using AAF V166 from Moddingham, as all of the versions on Nexus are no longer supported.  All the current links are in the guide below.
