Cannot use Alchemy Labs, Arcane Enchanters, Grindstone and Tanning Rac

Hi guys, I recently reinstalled Skyrim and started a fresh game. Everything worked perfectly up until this morning when I tried to use the tanning rack and it would go into third person and he would kneel down as usual, but then the camera pulls back out almost immediately which stops me from using it. This is happening not just with the tanning racks but also the Alchemy Labs, Arcane Enchanters and Grindstones. The forge and smelter both still work fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game but the problem persists. I've searched around regarding this problem and it's not uncommon, however, all the suggestions i found didn't seem to help such as:

 

Sometimes the game can glitch where using smithing/etc. stations doesn't work and instead just switches to third-person for a second, makes a clicking sound, but never actually allows the interaction. There are various fixes that may or may not work including: wielding/sheathing your weapon, changing equipped weapons/apparel, shouting, interacting with a station while it's in use by another, or a combination of all of these.

 

I do have some mods installed but apart from adding some items for me to create, none of them should tamper with the various creation stations. It's really strange since last night when I was playing it, everything seemed to be fine. I remember using the tanning rack just before I closed the game and it was working fine. But when I opened the game this morning for the first time and went back to the tanning rack this started to happen. Could someone please help me? Thanks a lot guys!

Ok I've found the problem. It was caused by the Animated Prostitution mod. After disabling it, everything works again. After saving a game with it disabled and then re-enabling it, everything works still. Case closed :)

 

You may have saved me!

 

I will let you know if your my new hero lol.

I don't have the Animated Prostitution mod, though I do have FNIS. I am having the same problem and I can't seem to find a solution. I tried the things that the original post on here said, but none worked. I re-installed the FNIS mod, and ran the GenerateFNIS tool in the data folder that comes with the mod. I still cannot use anything that requires activation. My character fails to do the animation or go into the associated menus. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I don't have that mod installed either and I'm getting this error as well. What mine does is start the character animation where they are interacting with the tanning rack, the menu opens and is interactable, but then immediately exits out of it like I just manually exited the rack. I tried disabling mods that I would think might be getting in the way with it but I can't seem to find the culprit. Would also appreciate some help here if anyone has any thoughts.

I also am just recently experiencing this problem, and do not have the mods indicated as causing it in both this and other similar posts. What one person in a similar post suggested was to go through MCM and reset all mods that have a player animation, it worked for them. Haven't tried it myself yet, once I do I'll post with results.

Don't know if this will help anyone else, but I discovered that if I approach whatever item it is I want to use, (workbench, grindstone, cooking spit, etc), from a pretty significant angle instead of head-on, the animations seem to work properly about 80% of the time and I can cook, craft, upgrade, etc. Weirdest damn glitch I have ever had.
