Can the Cell affect Sexlab?

[Manax]

I see a lot of complaints about CTD's , animations not starting, etc...  I typically use Random Sex, Lovers Comfort and sometimes Defeat.  I have found when playing a game and doing quests the mods supported by SL seem to work.  Sometimes Random Sex can initiate at odd times during a quest but thats not a big deal and I can turn it on/off.  Where I have found the mods and engine to have real issues is when I add npcs to a cell, ie underground bathhouse, and attempt to have one orgy after another or in reality allow Random Sex to do what it does.  In the cell environment, I always start having problems with any SexLab resources. 

 

I have also found that when running any Sexlab newer than 1.11b, the supporting mods barely work or I get a lot of CTDs at odd times, like when no sex is initiated.  With 1.11b, the mods will go for a while, especially Random Sex, but it soon grinds to a halt.  Sometimes this happens when there is a lot going on and sometimes not.  I read somewhere on here that Luxury Suite had issues with Sexlab because it has its own scripts, and so does UB. 

 

Can a cell conflict with SL and its supporting mods? Can too many NPCs invloved in SEXlab resources create instability?  I ask these questions, because I have followed the FAQs and I am still having problems and I would rather it point to the fact that I havent found a better place to see Sexlab in action than the Underground Bathhouse than a purely Sexlab issue.

SexLab itself does absolutely nothing with cells, and doesn't touch them in anyway. If there is a cell related conflict, it is the result of another mod; though I can think of nothing cell related that would affect SexLab in any way.

 

Can too many NPCs invloved in SEXlab resources create instability?

SexLab is a script heavy mod, the more NPCs you have having sex the more intensive it's going to get. Add other non SexLab script heavy mods you might have installed on top of that, and yes, you could very well run into stability issues if your computer is unable to handle all the scripting work.

 

Some people say this Skyrim.ini tweak helps, some people say it makes it worse, your mileage may vary:

Thanks Ashal. I may try the ini. I have found that moving the ladies out of the underground bathhouse has helped a lot. I do find that too much of the activity can burden my system which is decent. I have found that removing static objects that are of no importance has helped.

 

I also discovered that when someone approaches for sex and then walks away that by initiating the inventory menu or reading a nearby book at the point of contact the sex act begins almost 85% of the time. This might be helpful to those who seem to be having that issue.
