Mods not initializing and game acting strange.

[kjc01]

I have a few problems, been having them for a while and can't seem to figure out what the cause is, so I am asking someone much smarter than I (which is, you know, pretty much all of you...).

 

Ok, first. I have a bunch of LL mods (mod list/load order forthcoming) and none of them are working right. To give an example, Defeat. When I get defeated, or have someone at my *ahem* mercy, nothing happens. I/they just sit there. A few times they actually strip, but that is as far as they go. I have waited for up to 45 mins, and nothing. No animations play (other than stripping) and the aggressor just stands around, sometimes talking, while the victim just kneels there in the "I'm hurt" pose.

 

Which brings me to another problem. Other mods are doing somewhat the same thing, if in a different way. An example is "A Matter Of Time". It shows the clock widget on the hud, but I have played a game where it took nearly an hour and a half for the full widget to show up! First the actual time, then it might be the Tamriel date shows, a piece at a time until it is all there, but it takes forever sometimes. Same problem with "Follower Mod". It is supposed to show the five face widgets, but again, I played this last time for two hours and still only four of them were showing. This seems to affect quite a few mods (Achieve That, Wearable Lanterns, Defeat, Beastess etc.) I am not very learned when it comes to modding and such, so I could really use some help.

 

My third problem, I am sure is mod related, but affects vanilla Skyrim features, such as soul trapping and word walls. If I go on a huge killing spree, say I kill 10 wolves within a matter of seconds (it can happen, right?), I won't trap the souls like I should be. Then I will wander away (it even happens if I enter a building or cave or the like) and BAM!! I get this flood of souls pouring into my soul gems. Can take anywhere from a couple minutes to an hour before I actually collect the souls I have killed. Now, it doesn't happen all the time, like if I only kill one or two, I usually get the souls right away, so I am at a loss. Word walls same thing, sometimes I walk up and barely get to the wall and I've learned the word, other times I stand around for 45 mins and still don't get it. I actually have a total of four (count with me, four) walls that I have previously been to, but got sick of waiting so I left without learning the word.

 

Last but not least, freezing. Every 5 to 10 mins, the game freezes, no particular spot, no particular action, and it always comes back after 30 seconds to a minute. Can happen running across an open road, or while perusing my inventory. The only time it will for sure freeze, and for at least 2 minutes or so, is when saving/quick-saving. It does it every time then, sometimes for long enough to go get myself a coffee.

 

Anyway, now that I have written you a short-story of my woes, maybe someone can find it in their overly large heart to throw some suggestions out there? I am leaning toward scripting issues, but like I said earlier, pass me the dunce-cap for modding, since it suits me. And now, a mod list for you to peruse...

Installed using Mod Organizer, sorted with loot, small (should be unimportant) changes by me.

Would you like some system specs?

 

Acer Aspire V3-771G

Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3 GHz Turbo Boost to #.#GHz

Nvidia GeForce GT 640 M 2GB

8GB DDR3 Ram

 

Please help, it is driving me nuts!

[Guest]

1.) doesn't apropos have this option that this mod has

 sexlab_WearAndTear.esp.

 

2.) really no need for these ive had issues in the past with them.

PC Exclusive Animation Path - Breton.esp

PC Exclusive Animation Path - HighElf.esp
PC Exclusive Animation Path - Imperial.esp
PC Exclusive Animation Path - Nord.esp
PC Exclusive Animation Path - ORC.esp
PC Exclusive Animation Path - RedGuard.esp
PC Exclusive Animation Path - Argonian.esp

 

3.) Choose 1

SOS - Smurf Average Addon.esp, 

SOS - VectorPlexus Muscular Addon.esp, 

SOS - VectorPlexus Regular Addon.esp,

SOS - GRworks HDT Willy Addon.esp 

 

4.) If you're not not using a custom race get rid of

Racecompatibility.esm and patches

 

5.) Enhanced Better Sorting seems to be abandoned and doesn't work with CCOR i would recommend getting rid of it.

EBS - Food (Weightless).esp

EBS - Spells.esp
EBS - Misc.esp (etc)

 

There are a ton of mods on here ive never heard of so I am unsure but when testing to see if things are broken always test on a new game because you may have a broken save also make sure to run fnis though MO and always keep it at the bottom of the list, also I would recommend death alternative better use for defeat also next time you're down and defeated try pressing esc to bring up your menu for a sec then exit out and the animation should then start, also make sure to register your animations through sexlab given you have the nonsexlabanimationpack same with zaz.

 

Let me know how your tests go I'll try to help further.

If you remove these, then you can completely drop PCEA. Because without these esps the vanilla race NPCs will use the same animations your character has. And I think that's what you don't want when you install PCEA.

So, since my character is a Nord, can I get rid of all the other ones and just keep Nord active? Or am I just an idiot?

 

I am spending the day testing and playing (and probably swearing). I will let you know how it works out.

So, I did a whole bunch of changes, as you suggested, but now I can't get FNIS to run properly. It keeps saying I am missing 1hmbehaviour.hkm or some such. The problem, as far as I can see, is that I don't have MO installed into the steam/steamapps/common/skyrim, but that seems to be where FNIS is looking for the file. Do I have to move it around? It was working before, I just don't remember how I got it to work. I updated to FNIS Behaviour 5.2, is that my problem?

 

This is the message I get from FNIS:

 

ERROR(53): Could not find file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim\data\meshes\actors\character\behaviors\1hm_behavior.hkx'.

 

My MO is installed in:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mod Organizer

 

So is it just in the wrong spot?

Nooo. If you want to use PCEA, your character has to be a custom race. And then the vanilla Nords and others use vanilla animations only when you activate these esps.

No, you have to installed FNIS wrong inside MO. But since I'm not an MO user, I can't give any advice here.

[Killing Joke]

Install FNIS in MO as any other mod, add the fnis for users' exe to run it from MO (like you do with skse). Run fnis, when done all generated files will end up in Overwrite. Create a mod off of it - call it for example FNIS output -. Now every time you install new animations, you'll have to run fnis again from MO and drag and drop all files from Overwrite in your fnis output mod.

[kjc01]

The problem is the generator won't finish. It pops up the error code, missing that file, and thats it. I know I have to have installed it wrong, but everything I could find about it, the Mod Organizer folder is installed into the Steam directory, so I don't know if maybe I should move it all? I know there was a reason I put it outside of steam, although it was so long ago I can't remember why...
