No Bowstring Animations?


DarkSoul10

Recommended Posts

I'm getting a strange bug that I never noticed before. Whenever I draw an arrow with a bow the bowstring doesn't move. The arrow is pulled back but the string just stays exactly where it is. This is happening even without mods so i'm not sure if this is a vanilla Skyrim SE feature iv'e just never noticed before or is something else going wrong with animations or skeletons or something?

 

Cheers in advance for any answers!

how do you know if happens with no mods?

have you seen this on a newly installed game? or just disabled the mods?

because I believe the draw animation is stored in the bow nif files . if that is correct , any mod that replaces these files (or provides them , as the originals are packed inside the BSA archives) could cause the issue even without the plugin being activated

 

I never noticed something like this , but I'm generally not using 3rd person , and in 1st person it seems to work properly

so it's probably related to something you are using , or maybe you've somehow caused this (though I doubt it)

best way to check is to just uninstall and reinstall the game , and load it right there , with no mods installed , to test

Ahh thank you for making me consider the nifs! I do indeed use modsbut I only had the esps disabled. I found the culprit though. I converted Archery Gameplay Overhaul to SE for my own use but it turns out that it modifed the bow behaviour nif in the Meshes folder. After removing that all works fine now. Thank you!

Btw just to confirm something if you can, NPC mouths not moving when they are talking to each other is a result of too many actors in one cell right?

honestly I don't know

when in doubt , try google , as someone has probably asked such a question before

but I think it could be due to many different reasons . it seems like something due to missing lip sync files , but maybe it could be due to having too many actors (never really encountered such an issue , so I honestly don't know)
