Query your mod manager for which mod is providing the files that are throwing errors and remove them. That's the least-effort approach. But with this logic you'd be removing SexLab, so I would recommend you do not take the least-effort approach but instead for instance install MfgFix NG so that SexLab stops throwing errors from its expression systems.

 

After you've fixed the problems you will at the very least have to clean your save with ReSaver. Starting a new game is the faster and more reliable way to clean a save, as it were.

...reruning pandora a million and a half times didn't already fix them.

 

That is because Pandora has nothing to do with Papyrus scripts.

 

If I were in your shoes right now, I'd remove P+ since you're probably not going to be fixing that error in my previous post. Test one of the broken Billyy's animations again after having started a new game with good ol' SexLab. Edit: Bonus points if you're still using FNIS-buílt behaviour files at this point.

 

In the future if you need more performance from SexLab (and this is why you installed P+) then instead get Papyrus Tweaks. PT by default increases your Papyrus ops budget by 5x I believe so that's a free 5x Papyrus performance gain.

A new game will do it.

The general rule is to not uninstall mods mid-game. Things get baked into saves and don't go away when you uninstall a mod.

...as long as these aren't coming from scripting errors or missing dependencies like MfgFix NG.

it appears that i fully broke something and now even the new saves are broken beyond my ability to repair. im just going to do a fresh install of everything and start over. sorry i wasted yalls time, but thank you both so much for taking your time to help me. I've just been fighting with sexlab in general for several days now, and p+ has only made things much worse. Hopefully ill have better luck trying again with a clean skyrim and a clean mod list to get this working at a latter time. i am officially burned out.

the quotes doesn't matter, i gave it another shot after a short break, and the problem continued with a new install. I randomly tried letting fnis overwrite pandora, and billyy's creatures animations started working. It seems pandora doesn't like billyy's creatures for some reason.

Which creatures have you tried?

I use Pandora v4.3.1 and Billyy's v7.9. The only animals I've used in this game are dogs, goats and horses and they didn't have any problems.

You can either do it that way or do it that way and delete the text. Or you can hit the '@' key, then the 't' key, wait a second and you will get a list of users with names starting with 't'.

@Grey Cloudthanks for the tip, and i've tried almost all of them, and they're working. Also, im glad you rplied so fast before i forgot, i also reran pandora after to see since fnis broke some other animations, and what i have found is that the creatures still work, and all my other mods animations work too. My over all fix was a total reinstall of sexlab and my animation packs + fully installing fnis and the creture pack for fnis than reruning pandora (after deleteing it's output folder) and everything seems to work now.

Glad you're up and running. 👍 Now you can crack on and find the next problem. 😁
