Zaz animation pack makes game unable to open

[EronIngot]

I tried installing ZaZ animation pack 8 for Skyrim LE and it doesnt even open my game. I installed it through MO2 and when I open SKSE, nothing happens. Skyrim doesn't even open. I tried using older ZaZ versions and still no fix.

The game doesn't even start at all if I enable Zazanimationpack.esm

Ich habe versucht, das ZaZ Animation Pack 8 für Skyrim LE zu installieren, aber das Spiel startet nicht einmal. Ich habe es über MO2 installiert, und wenn ich SKSE öffne, passiert nichts. Skyrim startet einfach nicht. Ich habe auch ältere ZaZ-Versionen ausprobiert, aber das Problem besteht weiterhin.

 

A master plugin is probably missing... MO2 should actually display an error message about this.

Tes5Edit or xEdit will tell you explicitly if there is a missing master. 

Aside from that, if you have installed too many animations the game will crash at the main menu.

The game will also crash if you have too many enabled plugins (255+).

I don't use MO but have read many posts from people who could not get SKSE to run within that tool.  You may need to ask your question on the MO discord.

Did you install the SKSE plugin Preloader, ENBoost, and did you kick your skse.ini?

I have ENBoost and plugin reloader. but I don't seem to have any skse folder in my skyrim data.

 

ALSO, I don't have any missing masters.

Run FNIS after installation ZAZ

I already did. Still didn't work.

You started FNIS and SKSE via MO2? And there's no Papyrus.log file and no errors in FNIS?

FINALLY FIXED IT! 

 

I had Skyrim placed in a different folder from Steam and I think that made Skyrim crash when I used ZAZ. 

I put Skyrim in it's original Steam folder and ZAZ packs are working now.
