Inexplicable Animation Issues

[puddles]

This actually happened to me once before, almost half a year ago. I was never able to figure out the cause and wound up just doing a total fresh install, which...somehow fixed it. Any NPC which doesn't have special animations assigned to its race (I have a Blockhead mod for that), has their idle/walking/running animation replaced with a sluggish, doubled-over animation where they clutch their chest and groin and their face makes this pained expression. I've deleted the 'default' animations out of the _male mesh folder, but that -still- doesn't do anything. Any ideas what might be the cause?

 

Edit: Something to do with that zEstrus mod, don't know how when it's way above the Lovers Priority .esps...

Estrus is in fact it.  Turn off the nudeshy (or is it the flee) option within Estrus.

As to the "how", I believe it is due to the scripting that fires continuously forcing the loop animation, which overrides all other animations.  Animations are one of the few things that ignore load order ranking.

Old EDialog changes Oblivion.ini-file, but what kind of variable, I do not remember.
