zaz ZAZ animations not playing

[pottydancin]

I should preface this by saying I am a complete newbie to Skyrim modding. Hell, to Skyrim in general. i got it for the pee mods lmao

 

Whenever I try to test animations with ZAZ, my character does strip, but she just kinda... stands there. Not doing anything. Sounds and facial animations work, but not the actual body animations. I've run FNIS several times. I checked SLAL, and it's not finding any animations to register. Weirdly, FNIS is saying it's found animations despite that. I have zero clue what could possibly be wrong.

 

why does modding this fucking game have to be so damn complicated?

Why would it not? Its always going to find animations as long as you have something installed. It's building the behavior files.

ZAZ most likely does not use SLAL animations.

So the FNIS output and the Papyrus log would be relevant there.

Because modding is the original definition of hacking before its meaning was twisted by the mainstream. "Hacker" means you have a want to know how things really work; and your goal is to make things do stuff they were never meant to do.

In the ZAP McMenu there is a button that you need to push to load the ZAP animations. I suspect that your problem will be resolved if you do that.

What button exactly? I looked through the MCM and I'm not seeing one like that.

I clicked the clean and restart button, since I assume that's likely what you were talking about. It's saying "updating" right now, I'll let you know if it does anything else.

[pottydancin]

Yeah that didn't do anything.

Without starting a new game this is as close as I can come to showing you:

So note. When you open the ZAP McMenu you need to go to the SexLab page (which I circled in red). On that page you need to click the button that I marked in blue. When starting a game it will say Register Animations. Since I am level 70 and did this weeks ago it now says "Registered". Doing this will allow you to use the animations listed on the right side of the page.

I did so. It loads for a sec before just reverting to "register animations" again, assumedly meaning it didn't go through.

 

I'd also like to note a new finding I somehow didn't notice. Checking SexLab in the MCM and hovering over the readme shows me that prerequisites with a ? besides them can cause my problem. The only ones that have it are the FNIS SexLab framework idles and FNIS SexLab creature idles. Where can I find these so I can download them?

It sounds a lot like you have mixed your versions. Check to make certain that your versions of FNIS and SexLab are compatible with your version of Skyrim. If you haven't already checked, your mod manager may be able to tell you what you are missing.

SexLab seems to be fine. I have the AE version.

 

Is there a more updated link for FNIS? I got it from Nexus, but that was last updated in 2020.

"Seems to be" isn't good enough. You need to make sure that the SexLab version you have is the correct version for the "AE" that you have. If you bothered to look at the main download page for SexLab you see that there are two AE versions, and SE version and a GOG version. You will also need the correct version of SKSE64 and Address Library. As long as you have the SE version of FNIS then you are alright there.

OOOOH I've found the problem. My dumb ass didn't set the FNIS generator file as an executable in MO2. I'm really fucking stupid.
