Serious Animation Issue

[jlilly1]

So I'm having an animation issue with about 1/3 of the general npc's in the game (vendors, innkeepers,courier,children.as well as some npc's added by other mods such as bathing B, and populated skyrim.)

 

What happens is they either cower in fear, or they go through an animation loop either when trying to sit down, or lay down in a bed, sometimes even during taking a drink.

 

 

I have numerous mods, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and was able to fix it?

 

 

Any help would be grealy appreciated.

:excl:

Disable any animation mods you have and see if the problem persists

[jlilly1]

The NPC's also seem to repeat certain animations, like sitting down, moving their hands to drink a glass. I unchecked all my mods, and it's still doing this. ...

 

[FishBiter]

Hmmm, all mods unchecked? Have you tried going into your meshes folder and taking out your skeleton.nif so the game uses the default one and seeing if that helps anything?

 

Do you use FNIS (Fores New Idles)?

 

Changed anything in your .ini recently?

Edited July 13, 2013 by FishBiter

[jlilly1]

Thank you for the reply FishBiter. This bug is really breaking the immersion of my game, and I spent 2 hours last night trying to fix it to no avail. However, I have not tried the mesh skeleton trick yet, I will try and post the result. Also, I was using FNIS before, and checked for conflicts it came up with none however. I don't know what it really corrisponded with, I haden't played in about a month, I updated my game+all my mods, and then it seemed to start doing it. However, I have not downloaded any new mods and it all seemed to work fine before. I don't know if something changed with the patch or not. I did reinstall the game yesterday and checked a few things, the bug was gone with a fresh install so i started re-installing my mods, and then the bug came back again.

 

 

This leads me to believe one of two things. Either it is two mods that conflict (however i have a bashed patch and have made sure any compatability patches have been checked.)

 

or it could be a bug that has worked it's way into the save of my character/characters it'self.

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[myztikrice]

Check after installing a few instead of all of them so you can pinpoint it.

[jlilly1]

I tried the navmash skeleton, to no avail. They are still cowering/repeating sitting animations/taking cups out putting them away very fast. Again, not all npc's are doing this very odd. I have over 180 mods, thats going to take some time to do, checking each individually.

[Strokend]

If some of them are cowering, it may have to do with dragons, werewolves, or vampires. Did any attacks happen at the location, even by yourself (including the use of shouts), where some of the NPCs react oddly?
