Strange persistent problem

[CookieSalesman]

I've had this problem for a very long time and now it's really getting annoying. I'm determined to fix it.

 

This is the problem.

When walking, any sort of turning, (in all 8 directions) animations are instantaneous, meaning my character doesn't turn from forward-right to forward-left, but instead skips the turning animation and instantly turns and walks in the forward left direction. Instantly.

 

For example, if I hold W, release W for a split second, and THEN press any other sort of direction such as D, executes the turning animation.

But, if I hold down W and then add in any other button, the turning just skips instantly.

Strangely, this problem does not appear when I am over encumbered.

 

 

I have tried installing victoria's high heel walk and the catwalk mod intending to fix this, however it only fixed the forward to backwards turn.

For those who have not tried Victora's HHW or the similar catwalk mod, instead of your character backing up when pressing D, your character will actually turn around and walk towards the camera.

 

 

Thanks. Please help.

 

 

As a last resort if there is really no fix, will I have to learn how to use the creation kit and fix the problem myself by making a mod?

Can someone please help with this issue?

omg anyone please?

I have neither heard of nor experienced this problem. I would hazard to guess that it may be a mod. Did it do this before you added any mods? Specifically a mod that affects the keyboard?

 

On my system, A or D does not initiate a turn, but the character side steps either right or left while looking in the same direction. Turning is accomplished with the mouse and is smooth. This is the normal keyboard/mouse action. Some mods do remap keys to do other things, one possible thing they can do is simulate the mouse with the WASD keys.

The only thing I can think of is to unpack the directional idles in your BSA meshes and add them to your data folder, if you need to know how to do this use a program called FO3Archive utility or BSA unpacker. If u need more info let me know , hope this helps, i still haven't got anyone to answer my problem yet, it's been 3 days

Thanks for a suggestion!

Kudos, for helping out, I've had this issue for too long.

 

So after I download BSA unpacker, what exactly do I unpack from?

[asdgora]

Unpack "skyrim/data/meshes.bsa" "skyrim/data/skyrim-animations.bsa"

From the unpacked folder, go to "meshes/actors/character" If you don't have any mods that replace animations, you could copy the whole "_1stperson" and "animations" folders to "data/meshes/actors/character" in your skyrim directory. Create the folders if they do not exist.
