Strange running animation for children!?

[Violence6884]

Without touching anything at all that has to do with children, in any way, shape or form; All children so far have an animation I haven't seen before, when they run... They seem to be pressing their left hand to their jaw or cheek. All other animations(By which I mean base Skyrim ones, the only ones I use when it comes to children, can't stress this enough) work fine(IE standing idle ETC). I've not changed anything even loosely related to children in my Skyrim, I pay close attention to nonsense like that. The only difference with my previous play through in which this never happened, is that I updated some 60-80 mods including some LL ones, but added none that I wasn't using before.

 

What could I provide here to help find out which mod is doing that?

 

As a side note, the only mods introducing intrusive, redundant non optional and undocumented changes, have been consistently Baka/Babo's. An example would be the loading and menu screens they add. I'm only mentioning it in case someone has a light bulb moment about it.

perhaps you could use a search software like agent ransack to search through all your mods for the name of the original animation file in question, so that you can find what is overwriting it

I'll do so, another possibility is Conditional stuff, this tooth ache thing might in fact be a head ache animation kicking in at low mana... And I think some NPCs have 0 by default, or 0 is assigned to them through a mod? Perhaps a Combat one, or one that changes flags if an NPC isn't important nor part of a quest. So then because of that, children may have a constant... Mana ache! ;3 God, I love mods, but I also hate mods...

 

I'll have to look into it a bit more.

Go here and get the appropriate fix, assumption was right- It was a head ache from no Mana. Alternatively if you do not mind or won't bother, disable NPC head aches from low Mana and you're fine... In case anyone else had the same problem.

 

I honestly have no idea how I missed that one file, or why that issue wasn't there before.

 

Let me also apologize for my comment on Baka's mods potentially smuggling in an animation- At the same time I'm quite jaded with mods that do that, and theirs do, so... It is what it is, in all fairness. Well, my bad any way.
