Sexlab - Issues with 1.63 for SE 1.5.97

[NCK30]

A Sexlab question here.

Anybody know why You loose control of your character during a Sexlab scene. You can't go into first person or anything.

After the animation finishes then it is stuck with the "Save Game" option red. You have no control over your character who just spins around.

 

 

I am getting pretty pissed. Just spent several days cutting down my animations to about 230 sets.

 

I am forced to quit the game to fix it. It drains me of the will to play the game. Happened sometimes in LE. But rarely.


Also Sexlab 1.63 for SE 1.5.97 is so slow compared to LE. How can it be so slow, when it is supposed to be more advanced and much newer?


Hope somebody knows the solution. This has been an issue since pretty much the beginning of Sexlab.

Because sslActorAlias calls DisablePlayerControls and SetPlayerAIDriven near line 1317.

Because EnablePlayerControls seems to fail sometimes. I've never looked into it. Not seen the issue in years; maybe it was more an LE thing.

You'd have better luck by going through all mods with script files looking for calls to DisablePlayerControls and EnablePlayerControls to see if one of them is forgetting to enable controls. Add Debug.Notification calls before and after the calls to these functions to make sure its trying to, and successfully calling these.

Papyrus is 400 times slower in SE/AE than it was in LE yes. Use Papyrus Tweaks to increase your budget. I set mine to 10,000 but that's not really a good idea. Start with the defaults, increase when necessary. Avoid increasing it to make room for badly made mods. Do as I say, not as I do I guess.

Skyrim SE/AE is a cash-grab from a company trying to cope with a lack of production and the damage from Fallout 76 and Starfield. The paid mods didn't quite work out, so they got bought up by another greedy company: Microsoft. There is nothing new, nor advanced about whats going on here.

Read description. 

It helps to find a bad made mod. In my setup I meet the 80mS with rare peaks up to120mS (unequipall calls mostly).

Yeah. This is beyond my skills. I will have to accept the annoyance.

I don't dare mess with script files beyond the Sexlab animation ones.

Thanks again. One can count on You two for answers I would normally not get elsewhere.

There is the sledgehammer option as well which could for instance go like this:

1. Use my string search utility to find all instances of the *PlayerControls functions.
2. Use your mod manager to determine which mods the matching script files belong to.
3. Disable them one by one until the problem goes away.
4. Decide whether the problematic mod is worth the trouble or not.

No script editing needed. My utility is available upon request, if interested.

Whenever I press E during SL scene

1. End SL scene
2. Console:
   1. help [FURNITURE]
   2. placeatme [FURNITURE]
3. Raise character weapons
4. Spin and face her to [FURNITURE]
5. Console:
   1. tfc (exiting third-person camera)
   2. tfc (re-entering third-person camera) (this automatically repositions the bugged camera's invisible reticle to what she is facing)
6. [FURNITURE] options should be available. Activate [FURNITURE].

 

 

If the [FURNITURE] option is not available:

• repeat 3 to 5
• or use a bigger furniture

 

 

Activating furniture fixes the spinning character issue

I can confirm that using furniture fixes it.

Must get used to having sex next to an Alchemy Bench or Exchanting Table.
