Downloaded Pandora, now what?

[Storms1]

I did it at last.  I blew my old mod loadout to smithereens and started completely from scratch.  Reborn anew, I downloaded the Gate to Sovngarde collection and so far everything seems stable on that front.  But I've also downloaded Pandora, and I am in the process of getting my sex mod loadout back in order.  Especially my creature mods.

 

Pandora registers and seemingly accepts Billyy and Anub's animations, but of course when it's time for one to play, it doesn't trigger.  Do I still need FNIS creatures or even FNIS itself as backseat driver to make the animations work?

Late answer. Is it only creature animations that aren't working? If so do you have Creature Framework installed and SLAL and done all the SLAL steps. Also might seem dumb but have you enabled creature animations in Sexlab? I'm using Pandora and do not have FNIS installed at all.

Thanks for taking the time!  Indeed I have done all of these things and yes, it seems to only be creatures.  I haven't tested many, mainly just dogs and wolves so far, so maybe they're the only ones.  I've been away recently and haven't been able to play more.  My only other thought is maybe I need to clean and re-register animations in SLAL after they load the first time.  I used to have to do that so it would count them all, but that also affected human anims so idk. 

 

I'm a bit at a loss, which is not uncommon in my modding experience, but still

In the last tab of Sexlabs MCM where you can see registered animations. Are the number of creature animations what it probably should be? If not you probably just have too re-register animations in slal. Also check creature framework and see if animations pop up there. If all those are in order what mod are you using to test the animations? Try using another mod to start them. Can't think anything else at this exact moment
