BaboDialogue & SL Approach not working together

[kanarapu]

I can't for the life of me get these two to work nicely together. I've tried fresh saves, version updates, multiple load orders.... what can I do to actually make these work? My setup is rather minimal so I don't believe there should be any conflicting mods either. How did you get them to work together? I'm on 1.6.1170, latest release of all dependencies.

We should know first what problem is generated. Simply saying they don't work together is a bit vague and a bit generic. Could you be more specific about the problem?

 

For example, it does not activate an animation

Either loses the majority of their respective function. In cases where BaboDialogue doesn't work, the hotkey is disabled and the majority of quests do not trigger, and for example, the Lowlife event never triggers SLHH. When Approach doesn't work, NPCs do not approach the player.

 

In any case, I somehow did fix this. I uninstalled Approach, reinstalled BaboDialogue, then installed Approach again. Now, for whatever reason, with the same load order, on the same save, everything works simultaneously. Magical.

Maybe that's the trick, the installation order.
