My expressions doesn't work. I can set them in ShowRaceMenu, but in scenes they don't work. This includes blowjob animations, where the characters just keep having the same still expression that doesn't change. Do you have any idea? Let me know if you need my load order - however, I've set everything up the way you intended using this list.

 

My first guess would be that you and we would need the EFA Mouth SSE optional file from Expressive Facial Animations since we used the mouth option in the Fair Skin Complexion. 

 

In case you use the BnP teeth overhaul that shouldn't be the issue though since that would overwrite the meshes from EFA Mouth SSE.

 

Also, try reinstalling High Poly Head and be sure to check all the needed options there. Maybe your forgot the animations.

Tried all of the above, and it still doesn't work. I tried disabling, enabling, reinstalling, checking SexLab MCM for Animation Settings that Facial Expressions were set to on, etc. It's very weird, because it worked just fine with my previous install (the old guide). Not sure what's gone wrong here.

 

The most major overhauls are the new versions of SexLab Framework, Sexlab p+, and using Panduro instead of FNIS with the SLBS conversions. Not sure if these could have anything to do with it, but I doubt it.

@Temphyx  I ditched Defeat SE and switched to Acheron + Practical Defeat & Yamato Kudosai cause it just wouldn't function right for me. Note this is on the old modlist & I also added a lot of mods that weren't part of it.  I was very bummed cause I used Defeat (Bane Edition - as I also could not get any other skew of it to work right in my loadorder) on my LE modlist for years. (I literally made the move to SE from LE in March this year) 

I eventually ditched Sexlab P+ as well for different reasons, mostly due to mod support (many do work with it, some kinda work ond others didn't at all) - but that's very much a personal preference thing. OG Sexlab Se & P+ both have their pro's and cons and their own bugs.  

Go with what works for you.

@Bennyfa ;  This is likely due to SLP+: authors page cites this as a yet-unimplemented feature (along with furniture registration).

That's probably it, thank you 🙂

@monkinsane  I had the same experience and interestingly followed you on Acheron + Practical Defeat & Yamato Kudosa - they work.  I'm in an extended playthrough using them with SLP+ v1.8.2.3.  Despite the shortcomings mentioned earlier, it works fairly consistently but will not receive updates.  Basically, I've been waiting for SLP+ 2.0 and the other innovations to shake out - and meanwhile I'm enjoying my own interpretation of the previous incarnation of this great foundation guide.  Not sure about making the complete jump yet to the next guide, but eventually will, I'm sure.

Just FYI @Aylis, the front page link for SexLab - Automated SLSB Conversions 0.8d currently sends you to DoubleCheeseburger's voicification page.

Mhmmm...

 

Totally overslept... ( and still tired AF)

It's a Saturday, I'll allow it... 

[Aylis]

Going back to bad.

 

Can't really concentrate and before i totally screw something up...

Update #14.

 

Last step will be patches. Then the mods in the guide are the same as the ones i use here.

 

This will be the time when i start reworking the installation instructions (there have been changes), general finetuning and rechecking the mods in 'Foundation' (now a list of older mods i used before).

The link for SexLab - Automated SLSB Conversions 0.8d has changed now but it still doesn't seem to be right.

Yep, fixing right now... Done

 

The only gripe i have with the mods from here is that there's no easy way to track them.

Hey again

 

I've run around a bit to test for CTDs etc, and I've stumbled upon this outside of Windhelm. Once again, I followed the guide and have only installed mods from the list in the right order. Any ideas which mod could be causing this missing texture on the stones?

Looks like the 'Required mods and updates' section needs an update itself. You're referencing Rudy ENB, PI-CHO ENB, and Azurite Weathers still, even though they're no longer a part of the list. The link for Azurite seems to have disappeared overnight to me. (I've had the page open for over a week, and only refreshed it today when I went hunting for an answer.)

Guessing Nordic Stonewalls  ?

 

@Aylis Is there a link for an archive of the previous list by any chance?  It may prove useful for references. 

Thanks, and my apologies if I just missed it.

[Aylis]

@Bennyfa

I have no idea where you are. I've just been in the area of Windhelm and nothing unusual was to be seen there.

 

@newb50

Yes, but the patches are more important atm.

 

@Temphyx

Nope, due to the defective hardware i had to start completely new here (the backup i had only caused problems).

[Bennyfa]

It wasn't Nordic Stonewalls, I just went back on a new save to try it out after reinstalling the stonewalls. I've uploaded a picture of the area, sorry about that 🙂 I'll keep trying to mess around with it and see if I can resolve it.

Patches are up - Now the guide is mod-complete (Oooops almost overlooked the vamps - Those come soonish).

 

For me that means looking for bugs (and squash them), looking for texture gaps (and fill those), redoing instructions, and then, finally, redo DynDOLOD.

The Seasons section is still empty, too. Though the central mod there seems pretty obvious. 😂

First stability and bugfixing (there shouldn't be many left) then, and ONLY then, i'll make another attempt with seasons installed.

Is SSE Engine Fixes really necessary? I once installed it when the game was version 1.6.1130 and it caused a problem, making game CTD and disabling many mods and esps on game load. Or Has the latest version of SSE Engine fixes fixed that issue?

The COTN Falkreath - Deity Tree of Kynareth - LUX Patch patch is for Lux Orbis, not Lux apparently, so you might want to rename it accordingly. Also while load order doesn't matter for that file, maybe it should be below Lux Orbis to look better too.

[Bennyfa]

One of the patches fixed the missing textures/parallax for me - kind of what I expected, once these patches were out. Thank you!

[NiceSlides]

Also, will you add what to do with the vampire head fix  😁I see it in the instruction that it will be reinstall later, but I can't find when "later" it should be install. (Maybe I will know it once the vampire section is finish)
