"Failed to start animation" error when using SexLab P+ in-built matchmaker

[fikkkks]

Hey, new to Skyrim and modding for this game in general and was trying to use some SLAL anim packs in conjunction with the Public Whore mod. I was using the spell that targets an NPC and then starts a scene with both NPC and player, but it keeps only saying "failed to start animation" (or something close, I'm on 3 hrs of sleep rn). I checked MO2 logs, and there's nothing there, I reset SexLabs, and through SLAL I re-registered the animations I downloaded, but when I check SexLabs (P+) in MCM, the registered animations number always stays at "0" in the debug section. I did disable all animations and re-build the registry, but I'm afraid I don't know enough about modding Skyrim and reading logs to fix this one 😅 I did already re-run FNIS and Pandora each time I made a change, but FNIS didn't tell me anything useful. Can someone help walk me through solving this, please? 😭

If you need my mod order / logs or something, how do I go about doing all that here?

Hi bro, did you get it working? I'm facing the same issue.

 

I'm on 1.5.97, installed sexlab P+ and everything, followed each step after running pandora I was able to see the files too. But MCM in game is not showing any animations and also when I use spells to trigger scene I get "Failed to start Scene".

Get rid of SL P+ or ask in the support thread for that mod.

Normal SLAL animations do not work with SLP+

You need to have animations specifically converted for use with SLP+ called SLSB packs, which is why they're most likely not showing up

Check out SLP+'s modpage for more details on where to find SLSB packs and how to convert SLAL animations into SLSB packs.
