Vanishing NPC during Sex

[mmoblitz]

I have been getting a bug lately during a sex scene between pc/npc.  The npc will sometimes disappear and the pc will be stuck in a loop doing the animation forever.  All sound goes away as well.  The npc appears to just vanish from the game.  The latest was a companion (Veronica).  She just vanished during sex.  She was following me at the time and her portrait disappeared from my screen as well.  The only way I have found to fix these issues is reverting to a previous save.  It appears that it's totally random on when it happens.  The only thing in common with all of them, it happens right after an organism.

 

Has anyone else encountered something like this?

I've encountered it twice.

Once trying to have sex with the male farmer from FB in the Goodsprings Schoolhouse.

Once while trying to have sex with Buck (also from FB) inside their home (he followed me due to SexoutAssault stalker behavior).

It happened about 3-5 seconds in, and once that happens, the sex animation is stuck that way.

Reloading and trying again just resulted in the same issue.

 

Leaving the cell and coming back later, it's working again, though.

It's happened a few times to me as well. I was using older versions of mods and recently updated them, I don't recall it happening before, so it might be a bug with a newer version of one of the sexout mods or I could have just did things wrong.

 

To clarify, I've experienced the same as in the original post. NPC disappears during sexout scene, player stuck in animation loop.

 

I've also had the npc disappear without the player stuck in an animation loop.  In this situation (I think it's) the sexout spunk arousals bars remain on the screen. NPC partner disppears. Cannot initiate sexout with other targets.

I just updated to all of the latest versions and I'm having the issue as well with Buck and the farmer. 

However, on my previous installation of New Vegas, which was using whichever version of Spunk was out in May, the mod created the same exact issue.  The only difference was that with the earlier version of Spunk that I was using back then, it didn't have the bars, that's a newer feature I imagine.

I found turning the shaders off on spunk reduces the issue significantly.  I imagine if I disable spurting that may stop it from happening altogether.  Why do I think that?  THere's a spurt mod for Sexlab and it does the same thing at times, it causes the npc to vanish and the animation to be stuck in a loop. 

In short its worth a try.

Not sure why Veronica would disappear, the only explanation I can think of is another mod teleporting her.

 

There is a workaround in '95 (since beta 3) to prevent the infinite animation issue when an NPC actorA dies/teleports away mid animation, assuming the player is involved. There will be a 100% fix eventually, but it requires heavily reworking the clean up code. Probably in '96.

Toying around with the latest beta and so far I haven't had the issue, but I was having the issue a lot with the current stable version of NG.

The npc's weren't just going poof, they'd fade out and the animation would then get stuck in a loop, or they'd fade out and then fade back in, but even when they'd fade back in the animation would be stuck in a loop.  In short, it was like when it would happen, the npc was being teleported out of the cell, which didn't make sense with Buck in Fertile Breeder since Buck never leaves the cell in the game, while the workers at Sloan, it kind of made sense since they're scripted to go from cell to cell.

My load order is short so spoiler tags shouldn't be needed..

Also started using the LL Fomm last night to see if that helps.. and I like that it changes the color of the sexout mods in the load order if they're out of order.

i have problem with invisible npc body only happens when my pc try to give a blowjob but in the sex act is ok the body is there.

I came across a post from 2013 by someone named DasVonAlbatross claiming they were having animations getting stuck, which is really the issue when I think about it.  Sure, some of the npc's vanish during sex but only after the sound effects cut off and the animation goes into a loop, and more often then not, they only fade out for a second and re-appear. 

DasVonAlbatross claimed to disable the duration setting on Spunk and claimed that fixed the issue for them, so I'm giving that a go now to see if that eliminates the issue.  It would make sense if that was the issue because I have NG set for the animation to last for 60 seconds but Spunk's duration setting overrides that setting and tends to try to cut the animations off a lot sooner or later  then 60 seconds, which may be causing a conflict on my end.  Anywho, I figured its worth a shot since I never cared for that Spunk option to begin with, I prefer the animations to go on for the time I have set in NG.

If this doesn't work I'm going to try disabling Sexout Sound Replacer and see if that works since the other thing I'm noticing is when the sex animation gets stuck the sound cuts off, and right now sexout sound replacer is in control of all the sound effects, so maybe its conflicting with NG or Spunk.  But I really don't think its the sound replacer because it was working fine, things didn't start going south until I had to start using spunk.

Did I mention using the pull out key stops the animation?  It stops the animation but after it stops the animation, the character gets stuck with that one token that makes it impossible to start another sex act, and the character's limbs stop moving so while I can move the character from place to place, their arms stay at their sides and their legs stay frozen in place, which is somewhat amusing.
