Sometimes Character Become Unresponsive after Sex Scene Ends (using Skyrim 16.640 & Sexlab v.1.65)

[nefer385]

Hello,

 

I need a little help.  Off hand, are any of you aware of any Sexlab oriented mods that causes our character to stop moving after a Sexlab scene successfully ends?  I know that it is a sex related mod feature (or issue) as it only occurs after a sexlab scene has completed (not every sexlab scene, I can have a long playthrough without this feature or error ever occurring).  So, this does not happen each time, and I am sure it is most likely a feature of an overhaul mod.  This feature essentially restricts our playable character from interacting with other objects or NPCs after the sex scene ends.  Afterwards the game restricts me from accessing any menus, submenus and all movement becomes restricted.  In game the free cam works like normal, all other NPC characters and events are still working like normal, however my Playable Character cannot walk, jump, interact or have dialogue with any npc, etc..  I am wondering if there is some sort of MCM setting that I may need to disable.  I like most everyone here have a lot of LL mods, but with this issue being so unique, I figure that others would have come across this particular feature (or error) and can give me some insight.   

 

Most of my mods have been used for many years without this issue.  The newer mods that I do not have an extensive history with are the following: Bimbos of Skyrim, Bimbo Demeanor, OBody, Pee & Fart PAF fixes and Addons-v3.9.4, PNO Private Needs - Orgasm v1.2_PAF_Patch, Love Sickness, Stress and Fear, Stress and Fear SexLab Integration 1.1.0.   This is not to insinuate that any of these mods are the culprit, just trying to narrow down and give additional context as to what type of features within these mods that I may have ignorantly overlooked during my setup.  It is also possible that my issue may not be caused by any one particular mod plugin.  Also, possible that it may be a mod that I have not considered, so if any of you know of a mod that has this type of feature or function, please let me know.  I could very well have an older mod that may have updated and now utilize this particular "restrictive" feature.

 

Any suggestions or helpful insights are welcomed.

If that works, we can follow it up with fixing it properly or finding the mod causing it.

Thank you for your timely reply.  Oddly I haven't been able to reproduce it again thus far, my last session which was purposely filled with a lot of acts did not cause the issue (over a period of many hours of gameplay).  I was able to rule out Sexlab Survival as I have all of the functions that are quite punishing disabled.  Besides I am quite familiar with that mod and its features.  The (feature/error/issue/bug) occurred on 3 different occasions.  I have seemed to have found a way to potentially avoid the odd freezing by doing an auto save near the end of each sexlab scene.   This alllows me to load the game right before the controls lock up.  I was able to avoid it on my 2nd to last time by using that method. 

 

I will absolutely attempt your method of Enable Player Controls as it seems much more reliable. 

 

Also, just to be upfront. 

 

I did not remove any mods during the playthrough.

I am not getting any odd Save Corruptions or problems with my game loading.

 

I will keep monitoring as I go through my playthroughs.

 

Thank you again!

Oh, almost forgot.  Another option.  This could boil down to a classic User Error.  It occurred to me that I may have too many scripts firing at the same time.  Some functions with Sexlab scenes and the aftermath may be causing certain hangups.  Also, I have TDF Aroused Prostitution and TDF Aroused Rape I know that those 2 mods can have npcs attempt to speak with you (even when I turn off "force dialogue" can't recall the term the mod uses) which may be conflicting with the sex scene that may already be progressing.  Just in case someone else had my issue and were able to confirm whether npcs forcing dialogues had caused this issue in their playthroughs.

Well, the issue reared its ugly head again.  I attempted the Enable Player Control; console command EPC  1 1 1 1 1 1 1.  Unfortunately, it did not give my character any movement.  I am able to utilize the ESC key and some other keys on the keyboard, also of course the console toggle key.  However, most of the other keys do not seem to respond.  I am quite certain that it may be related to dialogue commands causing a mod to get hung up, as I went through another long playthrough without any noticeable issues.

epc is just one way to remove player agency. I'm not entirely sure what the others are. There's one to set the player to be AI controlled, and one to attach them to a vehicle. There may be others.

 

I can't get through CloudFlare right now as its stuck in a loop trying to figure out if I'm human or not, so this is as far as I can reference you:

https://ck.uesp.net/w/index.php?search=SetPlayerAIDriven

https://ck.uesp.net/w/index.php?search=setvehicle

 

So what I'd do is search through all pex scripts in all mods (including all BSA archives) for: "SetPlayerAIDriven" and "SetVehicle". Notepad++ can do the search, as long as the BSA archives aren't compressed. I've also made a utility specifically for searching Skyrim files. This is available upon request.

 

The matches you get is your list of suspects. Eliminate or otherwise alter them to locate the source of the problem.
