How to install Sexlab Animation Loader and animations packs for it

[Mercury Nightstime]

 

Please give me clear instructions about how to install the SL Anim loader and how to add animations packs and don't give me vague answers like 

 

"Install animation packs just like you would any other mod"

 

Cause Cleary I don't know what that means, I am tired and just wanna finishes this already so I can see some tittes flop out dammit 

 

 

This is the Loader I am using and so far I can see it in the MCM but none of the animations packs

That's quite literally what you have to do. To be more specific you'd need to say which mod manager you're using and what version of the game you want to mod. But it's exactly that, make sure you're installing anim packs for your version of Skyrim (LE/SE) and that you meet all the requirements for SLAL. Then it's a matter of installing and enabling the mods, running FNIS and going into the SLAL MCM to enable the newly added animations.

Not sure if you meant to link something. But not being able to see installed animation packs in the MCM is almost always because of an incompatible or missing JContainers. Install the correct JContainers for your version of the game.

Here are the programs I am using 

 

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition from Steam https://store.steampowered.com/app/489830/The_Elder_Scrolls_V_Skyrim_Special_Edition/

 

Mod Manger 2 https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194

 

I was using FNIS (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/3038?tab=files) but now I am using Nemesis

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/60033 cause it does not cause characters to T pose

 

and I am using SexLab Animation Loader 1.5 https://www.loverslab.com/files/file/2488-sexlab-animation-loader/

 

here is the order and list of other mods I have in the Mod Manger and yes I know the anims are unchecked

some anims are are going through, only two packs

 

I used Mod Mangar 2 to add the anims but they don't appear in the game mod configuration menu and I just download Jcontainers and I still can't see any of the anims so I guess

I have the wrong Jcontainers 

 

And with Nemesis I can now see animations being played out, FNIS was being a HUGE pain in da ass 

 

I hope this helps you understand what I am doing wrong

FNIS by itself can't cause T-poses, adding incompatible animations (which are reported by FNIS as a warning line) causes T-poses. You can fix that by removing the incompatible animations and getting mods converted or made for Skyrim SE.

Most likely. Like I said, check the version of your game (the product version of your SkyrimSE.exe file), as you say Skyrim Special Edition it should be 1.6.640 (unless you've done something to avoid automatic updates for the last couple of years or downgraded your game, that's the current version). So go to the JContainers page and check the available files, one of them is specifically for 1.6.640. You should also check if you have the correct SKSE version. And Address Library, which is a fairly common requirement.

 

edit: loading XPMSSE above SOS will likely cause problems. You should load XPMSSE below SOS to ensure the game uses XPMSSE skeletons for humanoid actors, you can use other skeleton mods for creatures mods though. You don't want SOS skeletons for anything really.

This is the SKSE version I am using

 

 

And this is the warning/error I get with FNIS. it involves the creature pack 

 

 

Nemesis seems to be working more smoothly, and involves less work do I really need FNIS? 

I am fine using it, just asking

 

Thanks for helping me with so much

1.7.3 is for Skyrim... the one from 2011. Not Skyrim SE.

 

Seriously, check your SkyrimSE.exe product version, once you do you'll start seeing these numbers everywhere. Use that to get the correct version of SKSE related things like SKSE, mods with a SKSE plugin (dll plugin). If your exe is version 1.6.640 you should be using

 

Also to install SKSE with MO2 you don't want to simply add it to MO2 and enable it. You have to unpack the dll and exe files and place them in your Skyrim SE installation (in the same folder the game executables are, not inside /Data), then add the /scripts files (either manually moving that scripts folder into your game installation /data or installing that folder as a mod in MO2. I'm sure there's a video showcasing the process or something. To install SKSE directly into MO2 you need the rootbuilder plugin which is an extra step (I assume you haven't done that which is why I'm mentioning this).

You downloaded the wrong version of FNIS, most likely the one for Skyrim... the 2011 one. FNIS should be looking for incompatible mods with Skyrim SE, not Skyrim as it states in that line. There are two entirely different sites for Skyrim and Skyrim SE mods, look

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition

 

You must check all the mods you're using are for Skyrim SE (and for mods with a dll, you must additionally check they're compatible with your executable and SKSE versions).

Yes, Nemesis works fine for anything FNIS can do, except creature animations. And checking the mods you have installed (such as BakaFactory ABC) you likely want creature animations. And in this case using Nemesis instead of FNIS isn't easier or less complicated, it's just preventing you from using the wrong FNIS version for your game. You likely want to use FNIS, or review the mods you have installed and remove things that won't work with Nemesis.

Ok so I figured out some things 

I don't have the special edition of Skyrim just the basic version

I started over and delated every, slowly adding back the mods 

I found a way to buy it when it was unlisted and now I understand how a lot of this works and added animations

thanks for everything I just need to know what I should look for to know which mods can work for my version of Skyrim 

 

like for example 

When it says LE / SE does that mean it can't work with my version completely 

Animated Beast's Cocks(ABC) For users LE / SE 2.90V 

 

and is there a way to use special edition mods?

Like is there another version or a mod I can use to use them?

thnak you

The 2011 Skyrim + the 3 DLC (Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn is known as Legendary Edition. LE. I guess you got that since pretty much every mod assumes you'll have the DLCs at this point.

Use the LE version. Any mod that says it's for Skyrim or LE will work.

If a mod exists for SE it will likely exist for LE too. If it's easy to port it'll be ported, if it's hard to port (such as mod containing a dll) you won't be able to use them nor port them yourself. Stay out of the Skyrim SE Nexus and download sections and confirm you're getting mods for LE. That's about it really.

I understand now

I have kind of figured out how things work. I am just having a issue with Fuz Ro D-oh - Silent Voice https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/14884 for Skyrim LE 

There is not a lot of info about how to install it with Mod Organizer 2, every time I try to open the game in MO2 through SKSE to continue my game it crashes, same with loading the game, do I have to start all over so the mod can work with a clean save or is there some other way to fix this?

It's no different than other mods. Just install and enable. Confirm you have SKSE correctly installed and that's it really.

And no, you shouldn't need to start again for that mod to work as intended. I haven't played LE in a couple of years now, so no idea if there's any additional requirement or if it's a known issue (checking the latest comments I see there are a few mentions of the mod having issues).

It started to work fine, all the mods at the same time but next day (today) when I open up the game through SKSE it gets to the menu but won't continue the game

I get a all black screen or it just crashes

 

here is my mod loading list and yes they are all for my version of the game every time I start the game, I sort the files with the sort button and FNIS to make sure it's all fine

play the game with SKSE gets to the menu and then it crashes or if I am lucky it works all fine
