As I understand it, Bear is moving (in sex mode)?

 

I haven't seen this problem myself, but make sure you have the right animations, the Creature option enabled in SexLab, and FNIS Creature.

 

Alternatively, maybe someone else has seen this problem before and will be able to help you better.

He needs to add More Nasty Crtters abd select all of Billy's animations and run SLAL to register the animations 😉

If there are no NPCs or no conversation between Tirwin and Naryu when you enter the inn, you probably have a mod that changes the inn itself.

If you could provide a screenshot of Tirwin herself, it would be easier to determine, but she should not have a pale yellow face.

Here's a screenshot showing the texture mismatch between the head and body 🤔👌

Overall, her face looks a bit strange (I'm not looking at the colour).

 

This can help.

But, for example, I don't use the mod I just mentioned, and I don't have those problems. You probably have a mod that changes faces in Vanilia.

[AttilaMagyar]

Actually all of my NPC's not associated with your game are fine,  I use BNP female skin replacer  and several replacement Mods for game and non game related NPC's I.E. Coldsuns visual replacers 👌😏

P.S. I also use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/42441

I was able to get a better face from her using BnP teeth overhaul, but, the color of her head is still off. What I don't get is why is it if I use the replacer mod, the head and body textures match.🤔

Is there more after the ash spawn? the quest does not update after the interaction.

That's really confusing because that one image does not even look like her, the chin looks a bit wide. I just recently started using the Animal Research NPC replacer... I like what they did with Nyssia in it.

 

However, I never did have an issue with AR mods meshes/textures prior - the textures used should be your base actor/character textures. My base skin I think is Lovergirl with UBE Anus but I do have a lot utilizing BNP skins i.e. True Blood Serana plus a few others. 

 

Also. lot of  my npcs are Coldsun's replacers but mostly the Patheon based because I like having body-slides for them (quite a few I morph differently) I do have a few using visions though but not many. Coldsun's utilizes asset packs for meshes. I'm replacing over 50 npcs via Coldsun, and about a dozen from other mods. 

 

I use the Face Discoloration Fix mentioned because I have a replacers of all vanilla hair with KSH Smp. 

 

Here's a thought, are you using the Coldsun visions which uses Skypatcher to change npcs, if so I wonder if that's somehow hitting Tirwin, but Tirwin is not  made from a template... so I don't know how that would happen, makes no sense.  (I do a lot of SPID and Skypatch and when you hit a template it carries over to all npcs based on the template.)

At what point are you stuck? You can run "player.sqs VAR_Boar" to see what stage you are on. 

yeah i had to skip through the quest a bit the optional player animations at the end worked but all the other scenes with the rieklings didnt but i just finnished playing through the mod so far and it is pretty fun tirwin does seem to fall behind a little bit but that is probably just a skyrim npc pathing issue because of them getting stuck on terrain parts and stuff like that luckily you did include a spell to summon her, i am excited to see where the mod is going next gonna check balazar's bitch now, also idk of it is for others aswell after what the last quest i still have an unbreakable lockpick i thought it would have gone away after the party

After having sex with Ash Spawn, Tirwin should approach you. Alternatively, enter the last number with ‘1’ under the command

sqs VAR_AshSpawn

And you still have 13 tasks ahead of you.

Not exactly sure what I did but, after re d/l the mods and starting anew, Tirwin replacer is good now 😏😉

I think it would be safe to assume that they were all written by the famous Dunmer explorer (Dark Elf Female). In the case of 3, it could be assumed that she served as an object for sexual acts, and Valerica wrote these 3 books.

 

So i think will be ok to use one voice for all books.

Choices time!  I have a FemaleDarkElf and the lesser known FemaleDarkElfCommoner.  I trained a model on the DarkElfCommoner because the DarkElf kept sounding so bored and monotone but I've since fixed that.  Anywho, they're both Darkelves, so either could have written the books.  Any preference?

 

Also, I may have misunderstood Valerica.  Which 3 books did Valerica write?  Or should the DarkElf write all of them?

 

Note, these are just rough drafts and the final product should sound better.  I'll probably need to generate the section text separately so that lines such as "Stimulation and sperm collection" sound suitably clinical.

The first one hurts your ears, and the second one sounds like an old woman reading.

 

Valerica has Gargoyle, Vampire Lord and Death Hound.

But as I wrote, they can all speak with one voice, because, after all, the PC opens them, so...

Nah, it's people using that mod to "fix" dark face "bug".

It's not a bug but troubleshooting tool for identifieng issues with mod and face gen files.

In this case the face.nif didn't match the last esp info for it and then that "fix" tried to hide the problem.

 

Most likely this problem came from mod loader pulling the face files in wrong order. Your face replacer nif and txt was higher than base mod, and then your replacer esp was lower as it should have been.

You need to pay attention to two things when mods replace something in mods.

1. What files override what (mod loader, need to use own head).

2. What esp loads after what (use loot).

Well, yes... I haven't had this problem in a long time, so better solutions slipped my mind.

 

But yeah you have right.

Ahh, because it works perfectly for one person, but another person with the same mods experiences various errors, dark faces, etc.

 

So in Short SKyrim Engine 🙃

Technically yes... the engine loads up what's in a bsa and then overrides it with what's in loose files. When you overwrite files it's the last file which gets loaded. So, that's why Vortex notices when you're installing what files are being overwritten and warn you to pick what you want last... just like what esm/esl/esp you want to override the others (within loot, etc...).

 

I make it a habit when I install a mod to load the entire load order in SSeEdit so I can see not just what conflicts but what is winning out. With loose files have to do so by hand.

Oh, so maybe not FemaleDarkElf voice?  I was going to use Serana for "letter from Serana" and Valerica for "Valerica's Journal", etc.  So I wanted the Training Books to also be representative of their author.  But yeah, DarkElf voices are not exactly pleasant to hear, probably because of all that ash in their homeland, making them raspy =P.

 

Well, I can do any of the Skyrim voices or I can attempt a non-skyrim voice.  What would you be looking for?  Something cute?

Try with Tirwin voice

bareback riding quest..
everything is going normally but when tirwin goes down in the cave and we talk infront of the rieklings (where she agrees to take off all her clothes and begin) her headdress disappears and she starts following me like normal and also doesnt undress, any fixes?

They're all interesting, but the last one sounds the least "modern" to my ears, so it would probably be my pick.
