I am so fucking sick of fucking shitty ass Sexlab, who might actually play 2 out of 10 animations that I trigger, and the rest of the time be morphed inside one another just standing there moaning!!  And explain to me why Ostim NEVER does this, I can honestly say that I have never see Ostim fuck up an animation like this.

Sounds like Old SexLab P+.

 

Ostim as i know NOT support creature sex.

90% of the time that's due to either not having an animation set or it's filtered out in sexlab settings. flags you have to turn on in McM are allow Creature sex (naturally), allow aggressive sex (because many creature sex animations are marked aggressive) and don't force gender.

 

I don't know if this will be of any help... works for me though.

 

Spoiler

My Sexlab McM basic settings:

 

 

 

 

SL Loader check, make sure all your SLAL files are loaded.

 

 

 

 

 

I  never used Ostim on Skyrim so not sure about it, I do know it uses a different method to load animation sets, I don't know how it manages race tags, I have used AAF on FO4 which is based off Ostim, was okay but spent so much time managing the animation xml files to get exactly what I wanted i.e. if you wanted a female/female set with a strapon you had to put equipping the strapon in the xml.

 

Things I dislike about SexLab are mainly it's search routines are slower and gets slower the more animations you have and it's McM menus are large. @Gristle mods though often targets specific animations and that speeds things up a bit. What's extremely nice are the available functions modders can use i.e. they can code for exactly when a scene starts and ends, track events, know when orgasms occurred, etc... without having to invent a ton more code to do so - it's in the framework.

I don't know, I had all the things you mentioned checked I thought, I had animations by billy, anub, nibbles, leito, gunslicer, and more nasty critters.  I did have P+ for a while and I think it worked better than regular, or about the same.  I have tried using FNIS and Pandora.  I played this mod completely through when it was version 52, but alot has been added since then, I just wish it would work, so frustrating

I occasionally have that problem. Especially when the animations involve 3+ actors. All I need to do is pause the game for a few seconds and that gets it going. Other times changing the animation or changing the stage fixes it.

Похоже на Old SexLab P+.

 

Насколько я знаю, Ostim НЕ поддерживает секс с существами.

But Ocreatures supports

I see, and I took a look at the source scripts in that mod.

 

I will not speak for the authors who are currently working on AMR quite a bit, but just say imo, I do not know if @Gristle and @Killer905 may ever had coded for Ostim before? It would be a lot of work due changing calls - and methods of them - everywhere. 

 

The SexLab and Ostim frameworks and functional library are very different. Plus @Grislte is using some of the more sophisticated functions within the SexLab Framework such as Actor tracking in order to resume control of actors once SexLab Scenes completes, They also use tracking to prevent from interfering with a scene other mods may launch. (most mods Gristle writes will never stomp - hijack an actor - on each other when it comes to sex scenes. Well at least in the approach taken.)

 

The other thing I believe their mods are likely going to get even more elaborate and immersive. The authors had figured out when Cum actually occurs, type of sex and actor sets i.e. FFC etc... in order to post comment dialog during scenes from onlookers and after conditions could also be based upon those criteria.

If anyone wants to create a patch for Ostim, I don’t see a problem with that. However, don’t count on us providing such a patch, as we don’t use that framework and don’t have the resources to support both the SexLab and Ostim versions at the same time, but you can get help from us if you need it.

When having sex with a bear or dog, the character will appear underground.

I'm on the Seeds of Lust quest, and it wants me to travel to the Black Briar Lodge to get the next book. The quest marker is sat outside the building, and the quest doesn't progress when I approach it.

I tried going inside and looking for the book, but I couldn't find it, and Tirwin has nothing to say. How can I progress this quest?

I've also tried to COC into the lodge but nothing changed.

There should be an NPC in front of the building, his name is Khorst. If he’s not there, I recommend loading a save file and not skipping the dialogue. Alternatively, enable him.

Hey yo guys, question for the veteran Beastial/animal/creature "fun" enjoyers:


What are your thoughts on

Beastial Essence vs Animal Research vs Animal Mansion?

Pros and Cons of each?

That's interesting... you're asking about three mods, but you've only asked that question in two of the threads :3

 

As for Animal Masnion, work is currently underway on a redesigned version, and the first version is almost ready for its public launch ^^

I'm having a problem: all quests get stuck after the animal animation with Tilwin ends. The wolf quest gets stuck at “Watch Tilwin” and then ends without any dialogue, and the same thing happens with the bear quest.

[zhyzhy]

The issue you’re describing is that, in some version of SexLabP+, the function that Animal Research uses to detect the end of a sex scene was faulty (if I remember correctly, that’s how the function works); as a result, the game freezes after sex with the Animal quest. You’ve clearly updated SexLab P+ mid-game, which is why you’re still experiencing this bug. I’d suggest trying a new save file.

 

If you chose the LE version, Tirwin might not have hair, but if you’re sure you selected the SE version, it looks to me like a conflict with another mod (which shouldn’t happen, as Tirwin’s hair has a unique ID).

If it works on the New Save, that means, unfortunately, you’ll have to play using that save file.

If you play as a male PC, you don’t really miss out on anything, or very little, because regardless of the PC’s gender, the PC can have sex with any NPC (options added by the mod) and any creature (added by the mod).
