Mounted combat not working anymore

[Gudulba]

Another day, another issue...: I have just noticed that mounted combat doesn't work properly anymore, meaning that it's almost impossible to hit a NPC or animal while being on a horse (sometimes it works when the enemy is directly in front of the horse). This has been working flawlessly for a very long time, even when the enemy was on the side of the horse.

 

I am not quite sure when the issue exactly started. It may have started during the Companions werewolf quests (with various ransformations to werewolf and back), but that may only be a coincidence.

 

The issue is fixed in theory by this mod. It's for LE, but does indeed solve the issue also in SE (meaning I can hit the enemies again as before), but messes up face tint on my PC. So i'ts not really an option to use this mod...

 

Any other ideas what could cause this and how to solve it?

The description of that mod you linked mentioned race records, and that it conflicts with race records. I'm assuming what it does is restore the original vanilla race records for humanoids. If that is the case then you can fix this issue yourself by opening your entire load order in xEdit and looking for mods that have made changes to these records.

 

Here's a few, you can find the rest yourself, you get the idea:

 [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 00013740 <ArgonianRace>

 [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 0008883A <ArgonianRaceVampire>

 [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 00013741 <BretonRace>

 [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 0008883C <BretonRaceVampire>

 [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 00013742 <DarkElfRace>

 [00] Skyrim.esm (7CAB85A9) \ Race \ 0008883D <DarkElfRaceVampire>

...

 

Once you find it, its up to you to decide what to do. You can try to undo the changes made by the conflicting mod by simply deleting the offending race record from that mod (NOT from skyrim.esm). Or you can take the sledgehammer approach and just uninstall the entire mod.

I have had a look at the race records, but there were only mods listed which I have had for over a year without any issues. But your post gave me the idea to look at RaceMenu, and voilà, my PC's race wasn't Imperial anymore, but Nord (now I also understand why suddenly I had lost the power "Voice of the Emporer" and there was a new power "Battle Cry"...)!

 

I may be wrong but I think during the various transformations from werewolf to humand and back and forth, something went wrong with the race type. Because with every transformation, there was a message showing up in the top left corner saying something a long the line "FNIS PCEA2 Race change"...

 

Now I have changed the race back to Imperial in RaceMenu and horse combat is working again (also Voice of the Emporer is back)... This race change although messed up my PC's appearance, but luckily I made a preset save some time ago, so I am able to restore her appearance.

 

Thank you for your input! Much appreciated.
