Head Falls Off after Reverting from Vampire Lord

[Spurnshadow]

Been scouring the web for a solution for this. Lots of people are having this problem over the years, and I haven't found one solution. Not much in forums either. Reddit seems to just make jokes.

 

Anyway...

 

What happens is after reverting from a vampire lord (VL), my head will fall off whenever I do a special animation, like mining, tanning, or anything where the game takes over and moves the camera. My head is still connected to my body via the neck as it will stretch to my head. Typically, the head will roll away, but will follow if I move.

 

This can be fixed by transforming again, but the glitch will happen whenever a special animation plays. This also is fixed if I quit the game to main menu or desktop, and upon returning under those circumstances, I can do special animations without an issue, unless I transform to a VL and back.

 

Most solutions on the web are transform, use console or race menu to sex change or change race then go back. All of these types of solutions doesn't fix the problem.

 

What I suspect is that the VL somehow screws up bones. But something so obvious would probably be known and fixed by now.

 

Being so sick of this, amongst other things, I uninstalled almost every mod, especially Better Vampires (followed the pain in the ass removal). I am now using Sacrosanct. Still happening.

 

I'm using CBBE, CBBE 3BA (3BBB), HDT-SMP for SSE. I'm not using CBBE SMT (3BBB) as the author of CBBE 3BA (3BBB) says it replaces it. After this last reinstall of mods, I've rebuilt all my outfits and meshes.

 

Now, I've spent a ton of time trying to figure this out, and am relatively new to mudding. I played Skyrim at launch and recently (about 3 weeks ago) downloaded SE to have a new, updated experience with new content and sexy characters). I don't want to break my game experimenting willy-nilly, which is why I'm posting here. I do know that even though you remove mods, there's still crap that lurks in the system, especially with scripting. BV still had a file left over in my data folder, yes even after running his removal script.

 

Also, I've finally posted as I wanted to do my due diligence to figure this out myself. However, between this, and many other bugs and issues I've had and tried to figure out and fix, I'm spending way too much time fixing issues and educating myself and just want to play the damn game. For now, I'll deal with this and revisit it in a few days, and hopefully, some nice people have responded to this.

 

Things I still want to do: remove all my items, reset character. There was a bug a while ago that this fixed as there was an invisible item still in my inventory.

 

I'd like to remove all my body slide meshes and data generated from BS, but I don't know where it is, and if I do, will it break the game.

 

FENIS, like BS runs externally from vortex with some integration, and I only know to run it when I install new animations. I'd like to remove everything this generated and start a fresh thing, but I don't know where the files are located and if it will break the game.

 

Of course, what are the suggestions from the folks who've been doing this for years.
