can't play any sexlab animations even though they're registered in slal

[deathtome1998]

I notice upon completing camilla valerius's amorous adventure from that mod, that when it came time to have a sexlab scene it would ask if I was the dominant female which is normal sexlab behavior. however after that nothing happens, no animations play, no other popups come up, I even tried multiple times to initiate scenes between the two of us and her by herself. no luck, and it's not isolated to amorous adventures either, because I also tried the menu from slen which i can't exactly remember which mod that acronym stands for but that wouldn't start a scene with jenassa who is my follower. and then I had one of my approach mod have jenassa approach me for sex and after accepting her proposition and saying here is a good spot, it just does nothing and if I go back into dialogue with her the same option to say here is a good spot is still there. I don't even get anything asking about dominant female with jenassa either. I had a scene from toys and love work earlier in my game so I hope something isn't screwed up that I'll have to restart my game. anyways I'll attach my MO2 load order and plugins lists in case it helps. hope someone is able to help diagnose the problem.

for some reason I can't figure out how to put both txt file attachments in one spoiler so there's one in each spoiler.

You need to test things on your own first.

 

1. Start a new game. Start sexlab.

2. Enable creature anims in sexlabs mcm if applicable.

3. Go to SLAL's mcm . Click enable all on the General page. Go through the lists and deselect anims you don't want. Go back to General and rebuild sexlab registry.

4. After it is done go to sexlabs mcm and check the animation lists and see if your slal packs are listed.

 

Good luck!

so it lists my slal packs but interestingly it doesn't list sexlabs base animations, which could be a byproduct of using sexlab performance plus. but I'm not sure. even if I try to rebuild the sexlab animations list after unregistering the slal packs it doesn't show up. the slal packs also do show as loaded in my main save as well.

Yes, exactly @deathtome1998. SLAL is a mod whose purpose is specifically for registering optional "third party" animation packs installed after SL has been installed and established. SL's small group of default animations are included with SL in a sense as a "lost leader", and are a separate group from the installed animation packs managed by SLAL and used to augment that default list., which are preregistered by SL and entirely detracted from SLAL, since SLAL had nothing to do with their inclusion.

no I meant if I unregister the animations that slal registered, rebuild the original sexlab animations, then check the sexlab mcm to make sure the animations are gone and the original ones are there, there's just an empty list. so I'm not sure what's up with that.

If you're using Sexlab P+ if you didn't select the install default animations at startup then they won't be there.  However, if you can go to rebuild & clean there should be check boxes to install the default animations.

Oh! well, neither am I. I've never had the animation sequences go missing once they've been recognized by SLAL. It can take time for them to display  (IME ~10-30+ seconds, depending on the number of installed animation sequences), since their db entries are appear to be parsed and loaded after the SLAL MCM entry is selected by player, but they've never failed to show for me, unless SKSE is crashing due to (afaik) script overloading. (various SKSE related MCMs aren't loading, game is acting sketchy, maybe there's massive script lag, etc)

 

ie 

1) choose SLAL

2) twiddle thumbs for what seems like an eternity (but is really only a few tens of seconds)

3) animation packs show up in menu

 

But if that's not the case, then I'd think a subsystem is broken/breaking. 

 

Try a new game or an old save? Sometimes saves get gamey and unusable, even when "but it still loads and I can even save too!"

the animation packs do do show up if I register them in slal, but still don't play. I tried starting a new game to test if just starting up the bare minimum for sexlab and loading the animations with slal.but it doesn't play animations even then. and I don't have another save to try on unless I go way back in my current character since I have made multiple saves since trying to diagnose this issue. all in a short period of time so my closest one that I am not sure if this problem is on or not is a couple hours of playtime back.

Did it ever work? If so, you should try loading a save file from when it did. 

 

The last time I reset my animations via SLAL I ended up having to uninstall it and its animation packs, reset SL, do a bit of housekeeping, then reinstall SLAL and then reinstall the animation packs, and then re-register all the animation sequences I wanted from those packs.

the first time I try using an animation from sexlab be it in my current game or in a new game it never works. toys and love started an animation once in my current game, but I haven't checked to see if that mod still works yet, but I don't know why it wouldn't since it was maybe an hour and a half of actual gameplay that passed until I tried the sexlab scene which won't work. so in short no it never worked. and I only reset my animations via slal in a new game if I recall correctly, I'm pretty sure I only registered them in my current game and have never reset them except in my new test game.

still needing help with this in case anyone has any idea what might be wrong.

did you try this : SexLab Troubleshooting & Support Guide - Technical Support - SexLab Framework - LoversLab

and may be a papyrus log would be wiser to help and find what is happening .

so I did pretty much everything that looked helpful in that guide, but nothing has helped. I did make a papyrus log that I'll attach to this reply, but I did notice when I glanced through it that it said something about sexlab failing to claim an available thread, which I wonder if that is something to do with the fact the I am running the game through a powershell script I found a guide about making on nexus mods that makes my cpu's afiinity for core 0 and 2 be turned off for the game and the cpu priority go to high for it as well. so I wonder if one of thes is causing an issue.

I threw the papyrus log in the spoiler.

i do not know for cpu thing .

it seams slen (sexlab eager ) is causing some troubles last lines of papyrus log.

i would suggest to disable slen , make a new save , clean your knew save file with fallrimTools or with save Cleaner .  see if sexlab is running correctly .

well I disabled slen, and did the new save which I then cleaned. however it does not appear to be working still. after getting arrested through prison overhaul patched and trying endlessly to actually get put in a cell. once I finally was in a cell none of the punishments had any animations nor did any other mods I attempted starting animations through. here's another papyrus log, I know it's over 5MB which can indicate an issue if the game is only run for a short time, but I ran it for 20-30 minutes probably so I don't think that is the issue.

it looks like you did not activated sexlab through MCM !  try to activate it while in third person .

so my sexlab is enabled through the MCM and has been the whole time, I just double checked that my requirements said they were ok in the MCM and they were, which I'll throw in a couple screenshots of the MCM page that has that info on it. and on the same page where it gives me the option to disable the enabled sexlab or clean system, whatever that does since there's no tooltip that tells me what it might do.
