Stuck as female.... (or "submissive")

[ryuoki]

It has been awhile since I played this.  Took a bit of work, but I managed to get this running seemingly flawlessly...... for playing as a female character.   Switching to a male though seems to leave the PC in the female (submissive) role, even when in male (PC) + female (NPC) role situations.    I can pour over countless hours of reading post after post, after post, after post, after post............. Or I can just make this and come back several hours later and hopefully have some potential resolutions (I know the drill of "forum etiquette" I just want to cut through the bullshit).   

I have BeeingFemale, SexyMove, FNIS... the whole nine yards, but still very basic not a million and one mods installed.  I made this particular install centered around the sex lab FNIS animations, and (other than current situation) it has worked flawlessly as a female PC.  About the only mods installed that aren't directly involved with the SexLab mod would be Amazing Follower Tweaks (which has practically nothing to do with the PC's "gender" in sexual encounters), as well as another mod dealing with alchemy.   Again, bare minimal of mods involved, primarily centered around this sites specific mod.

I want to play as a male, taking the "male/dominant" role in Male/Female interactions.   This doesn't happen.  Every time, she sports a strap on, and I take the "Female/Submissive" role.

I have attempted to "force" it via any options I can find/figure available in the mods in game controls, but nothing seems to resolve the issue.   

It has been maybe a year since I decided to revisit this.   Hoping for some potential resolutions, as I am unsure why every character is stuck in this particular role.   Is there a switch I have missed, or has there been some major updates to the mods involved with this pertaining to the particular issue that I need to redownload.

Once again, I only have a few mods that come up in game with the mod menu.  Mostly Beeing Female, Sexy Move, Sex Lab, .... Papyrus (or a few others required by Beeing Female), very limited in the mods installed and options available in game.

It seems that there needs to be patches that allows for that, since just about every mod out there is built with a female PC as the centerpiece. That may be the core of the issue; perhaps nobody thought to include a gender check in the scripts for all of these mods, or maybe it gets overridden by other mods.

 

The tough part will be isolating any mod that's causing your boy to be a girl in sex animations. That's your best bet, and it's absolutely step one.

 

EDIT: I see FNIS_PCEA2 in your load order. Does that direct every animation to the PC? If there is something that is sending feminine animations to a male character, perhaps that's it.

Well..... I switched everything in the PCEA2 off (unchecked everything).  This is a brand new game and character.   So I should be male/dominant. 

I thought it worked for an animation or two as I took the "male/dominant" role in the interactions with a female (Camilla in Riverwood) and discovered.... her brother loves to watch. 

But I think the system is still seeing me as female, as the animations that appeared "male/dominant" could have just been "lesbian" scenes like when I was fingering her.   I don't remember which animation pack was chosen.   But for the most part it is still placing me as the female majority of the time in my casting of the "target" (not self) version of the spell. 

Though I must admit it was quite amusing to hear Camilla talking about "meeting someone and starting a family" while she was pegging my character missionary style.

What is the player's gender listed as in the sexlab mcm? (I think it should be in the upper left portion of the Animation Settings page.) If you imported sexlab settings from a female playthrough it's possible you imported the choice to treat the player character as female for animations. If so, you can switch it to male.

 

If you do keep getting your male character put into the female role, by the way, you can flip the characters around to the opposite roles at the start of each animation by pressing the +/= key by default.

 

One other thing: from the image there you have most of your mods installed directly and not through mod organizer, and you appear to have sexlab and beeing female installed twice, once in MO and once outside of it (where the grey lightning symbols show they're completely overwritten.) I'd really advise installing everything you can through MO if you're going to use it, and also dragging the left hand priorities list into as close to the same order as the load order on the right as you can. Pretty much the only things that shouldn't be installed and run through your mod manager are the official game master files.
