Idles not working on Orc-Race

[iHateSkirim]

Hello!

For some reason, some Idles dont work on the orc race for me.

 

I can use Momo Acrobatic Jump

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16864/?

and Bow Running Animation

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16975/?

 

 

 

 

but not:

Pretty Female Idles

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/11954/?

and Victoria's High Heel Walk

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13272/?

and new Sit Animations

http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/15674/?

 

 

If I use EXACTLY the same Save and change the Race with Showracemenu,

then I can use them, immediately. Isn't that strange ? It also works on Argonian 100%, so it's not a restriction for Beast Races (didn't even read about races not being included ...)

Well so this is definetly strange, any ideas from you how to fix it ?

Starting a new Game doesn't change anything.

I am going to assume you are trying this on a female orc. Female orcs don't use the female-specific animation sets.

[iHateSkirim]

And this concludes that Idles don't work ever ?

Then it's clear that it is no bug. Is there noone who wants to make a fix for this ? Or is it far too complicated ...

 

 

Strangely why then are those other Mods working ? Because I guess they are part of the regular animation stuff like thos incompatible ones.

[lazyskeever]

There are mods out there that make female orcs use female animations. I don't know how they do it though so can't say if they are compatible with other animation mods.

In the CK simply change the behaviour graph to "Actors\Character\DefaultFemale.hkx" for the Orc females:

It is by default for some unknown reason set to Actors\Character\DefaultMale.hkx

[lazyskeever]

Probably because orcs aren't sissies! Some of the more "imposing" female NPCs in the game use non-female animations as well, like Lydia.

[Tamira]

Hehe, but some of the orc females who have a "manly" job, have the "opposite gender anims" checked, although the female orc race already uses these.

 

For instance:

Well of course Orcs arent that hot chicks, but with a decent stuff installed, they may look like this:

So thanks Tamira, I will have to change some paths for the Animation ;o But what is CK ? lol :tongue:
I guess an extern program but no clue what it should be haha! Could you explain it ? I guess then I could easily change those paths from your Screenies.

CK: Creation Kit which you can download for free from steam. It is the tool with which all modders make their mods. :wink:

And you really only need to change the one path shown in the pic. If you don't know how to do this I can send you a tiny esp that does the job.

[iHateSkirim]

Hey, yeah shortly after I wrote that, I recognized: WTF! It is simply the Creation Kit haha! ;D

I already tried it out, loaded Skyrim.esm and Update.esm and hat to skip like 26123 error warnings, as the german version has only *Yes* *No* and *Decline* instead of *Yes to all* ... so I have to click *Yes* on any of those, argh, then I changed it according to your description, pretty easy job, but ended up asking myself how to save this. It is a Problem based on Skyrim.esm and Update.esm I think if I corrected it by editing some values in those 2. But then I'd need to overwrite both and well thats not possible when I want to proceed with 'save' ... so well but I already could get another version / esp which fixes it, so everything is okay now ;[)
