holyantlers Posted January 12 Posted January 12 I did before posting, as I know 99/100 times it's user error (and I still think it is). Your step by step was actually really helpful with getting several other of my animation mods working too. I use Pandora for the animations, because other creature animations didn't work with Nemesis, and I run it before launching my game every time, I have a (fairly) similar load order to what you said to do. I have reinstalled SL (both as a mod and in MCM), I have "allow creature aimations" turned on, "Match creature gender" is off, I have disabled all animations, rebuilt the registry, reloaded the JSON, enabled just the HCoS animations and double checked that they are registered, and I enabled JUST the HCoS to keep my animations loaded low. I also have matchmaker and sexlab tools to try and enable the animations. I read through the Pandora forum on here to find any ideas and it was suggested to try using just the FNIS Creature Pack and the rest through Pandora, which im okay with, as I have gotten Nemesis and FNIS to play nicely, so I can spend a few days attempting the same with Pandora and FNIS. What I'm wondering is if anyone else has had issues with getting them working with Pandora because, though it says it supports creature animations, it doesn't have a specific Creature Animation Pack? (By the Nine I miss FNIS, and I hope the creator knows how much we miss and appreciate them).

Install mod and then just create the folder Skyrim Special Edition/Data/mainmenuwallpapers Then just dump all the folders with animations inside as showed in the image. Again I might be retarded and misunderstanding the problem so sorry for that.

Again I might be retarded and misunderstanding the problem so sorry for that. yes, it's the same with mo2, basically in order for it to be read as a mod it needs a directory so i have to choose one of the wallpapers as it which ends up being the one always shown at the main menu
MadMansGun Posted January 15 Author Posted January 15 it's already packed as data/mainmenuwallpapers/namehere/data in the 7zip, you need to select the top level data folder for it to work in main menu randomizer.
moraea Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Is there a way that I have missed to not have any female dragons on the main screen? I just downloaded the randomizer MadMansGun recommended, so I'm looking forward to hopefully seeing a different animation/picture... but I don't want to see any females lol Ever since I've installed the bonus package over a year ago, every time I opened my game it was to the sight of the female dragon and her 8 boobs. Once in a while, fine, whatever, I'll deal with it. But that's the only one that would show. Maybe I was supposed to pick just one and delete the rest? But I was hoping to just be surprised with random art whenever I opened the game. Maybe I had the wrong idea of how the bonus art was supposed to work. Anyway... Over time, I've deleted anything that said Dragoness or Bozilla whatever her name is... maybe I've deleted too much, but I was really getting frustrated to only see her! lol I deleted from that mainmenu folder, and when that didn't work, I found more references to dragoness in another folder so I deleted them, restarted my game and there she was again! So then I went folder by folder and deleted anything that said Dragoness, Herm, Bozilla... I admit I went a little crazy, but when I opened my game - THERE SHE WAS! laying there! Again! Taunting me! lol (I'm laughing about it, but I really am sick of seeing her.) Where should I be looking to delete so it doesn't have her as an option to show on the main menu? (And thank you for all the work you've done on your mods MadMansGun and how responsive you seem to be in the comments. I apologize if I'm just being dumb/blind.)

taliesin123 Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Is there any way to remove the in-game loading screens? I managed to remove the main menu screen...
Kelvryn Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Mr @MadMansGun sir, Is there another main menu animation i could use instead of the female dragon? I would prefer one of the male dragons. Great mod otherwise.

AQuietMan Posted February 27 Posted February 27 This may be a stupid series of questions, but is the "dragon belly rubs" an actual encounter? Is it an animation at all? Is it an animation from a certain pack I need?

Is it an animation from a certain pack I need? sort of, there's a DAR animation in HCOS, if the dragon is aroused it will replace the dragon's laying down animation with a rolling onto back animation. but in stock skyrim the "DragonLayNest" furniture only exits in 3 spots in the game (1 in skyrim and 2 in solstheim) and they are used by hostile dragons, so it would most likely never be seen normally. in SLDragons however i added/use the furniture for Odahviing & Boziilah, so the animation can show up sometimes.

Okay, thank you. Now I know there is no point in just looking. Is there anything else I ought to know about this? Useful tidbits or warnings? Edited February 27 by AQuietMan Forgot the question I quoted for.
AQuietMan Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) Actually, I figured out how to better word the question. About the DAR, I installed HCOS before I had a replacer mod. Would that mean the dynamic animation never added? Or will it work out OK? This is the last one. Thank you preemptively for helping me, I'm new to this stuff. Edited March 1 by AQuietMan Fixed some vague wording.

Dynamic Animation Replacer/Open Animation Replacer is install & forget (as long as you get the right version for the game exe you have), you don't need to run or register anything.
MadMansGun Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 make sure you got the SE versions and not the LE versions.
