Skyrim Bug (T-Pose)
I'm absolutely desperate, my NPCs and the main character walk around in this half-T pose all the time and the animations and voice animations are buggy. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled all Creation Club mods (I don't use vortex, I have absolutely no idea about modding in this way) it didn't help. Also restarting the game several times and uninstalling and reinstalling it several times didn't work. I even created a new account and then tried to start Skyrim on this account with Steam library share (with 3 different accounts) it didn't work, help, what should I do?!?!?!

To be clear, you only have CC mods, no other mods? T posing happens when you install an animation mod but haven't fulfilled the requirements to make it work, but a CC mod shouldn't cause that.

Well I had vortex mod but it didn´t work so I immediatley uninstalled it

Hmm that is strange.

As Hypertext Eye stated, t-posing typically occurs when a character (the player or an NPC) tries to load/play an animation - such as walking, running, idling, attacking, etc - and either the proper animation file is not there or the game cannot load/play that animation for some reason.

Usually, we see this kind of thing happen when using mods - specifically mods that add or change existing animations. Many - not all, but many - animation mods require you to run programs such as FNIS (Fore’s New Idles in Skyrim) or Nemesis after installing them. These programs are critical for installing/implementing mod-added animations properly, and if you don’t run them (when a mod tells you you must) typically this results in t-posing.

You say that you don’t use any mods except those from the Creation Club, yes?

Now, to be clear, are you only using the ones from the actual Creation Club (from the 74 pieces of CC content released between 2017 and 2021, included with the “Anniversary Edition”, or otherwise individually purchasable from the Creations platform), or are you also using “free mods” downloaded from the Creations in-game menu?

If you’re using any free mods off Creations - are any of them animation mods? If so, do any of them tell you to install/run a program like FNIS, Nemesis, or Pandora?

You also say you once installed a mod via Vortex? Was it an animation mod?

Assuming you don’t find a simpler and easier solution first, one thing you could try is to uninstall Skyrim and then wipe it from your drive entirely. Uninstall it, and then find the Skyrim Special Edition folder in Steamapps on your C: drive (or wherever you have it) and delete it. Then reinstall again and see what happens.

Sometimes, corrupted or mod-added files can remain in the game folder even after a simple uninstall. Thus, uninstalling and reinstalling the game doesn’t fix the issue because the files causing the problem(s) never get removed.

hmm I try deleting it enterily the rest didn´t work, maybe I have to buy the game again on a different account I don´t know
LOL, maybe we can help you better. If you post your modlist.

Replacement animations would not cause this issue. Problem should appear if mod edited skeleton animations.

No. It is just an data registry issue. Are you going to buy same game a gain each time you hit such an issue?

I have seen plenty of T-poses in my time with Skyrim. All got fixed.
The only T-poses I've seen are when I forget to run Pandora after adding/removing a mod that requires it
You may have to start a new game to be sure the problem has vanished. If you're on an old save the scripts could be corrupted and embedded into the save files you have.

This is a animation problem from a mod you either added via Vortex without running FNIS or Nemesis to register the animations. Even taking them off will cause this as Vortex will add those files into the Data Folder of the game. MO2 Does not do this, which is why I switched over to MO2.

If you want a clean install uninstall the game and go to the Steam Folder and look for the Skyrim Game Folder, it will still be there. Look in its Data Folder and see if anything is left behind. If it is delete it. Then reinstall the game and try again.

Uninstall all your mods.
Use Vortex.
You don't need to know how vortex works, you just download Vortex and it will install your mods for you with one click.

That's the easiest way to solve your problems without spending hours figuring out what causes the issue.

How do you resolve resource priority conflict question in Vortex, if you do not know how the manager and mods are working?

This is exactly the problem with it: people expect Vortex just to install mods correctly and be done with it. The attitude has caused widespread problems and attacks of hate against mod authors, when dumped down Vortex users do not understand what manager is doing and how mods are working with in it. It must be mod author fault, if their "it's just works" mod manager f'd up their games, when users didn't knew what they were doing with it.

It is not surprise that Nexus is working hard to replace underperforming Vortex wit a new mod manager. Nexus Mods App is getting it's first preview version soon, though it does not yet support any of BGS games.

Use Vortex, if you wish. Personally I prefer MO2, but both work fine. You still need to understand load order and resource priority basics. LOOT API in Vortex is only as smart as people file data in to it and Vortex will ask after loose file resource priority conflicts, if it finds mismatch between files.
When on the Nexus page of the mod, you have an option to download via Vortex.
Click on that.
Vortex will automatically download your mod(s), and install them.
Then, if there's a problem with some mods, you'll have a notification (can't miss it, it's a bell kinda like Facebook has for notifications). Click on the notification and select the option that allows you to see the issues. On the same page showing the issues, you have an option to click where it says ''automatically fix'' or something among those lines.
Click on that and Vortex will fixes the issues for you.
To be sure your mods don't have issues remaining, look at the notification icon (the bell top right of Vortex), if you don't have a number in red above the bell, it means all issues with your mods are solved (Usually it fixes them after 1st try).
Launch your game and it should be fixed now.

IF you still have some issues, the best way to get directions imo is to use chat GPT (the real one) on Google play and ask for directions. GPT is an awesome tool to use to fix whatever gaming issues you have. It's clear and provide sources it looked to solve your problems.
Also works for any ''real life problems'' lol

Hope that helps! :batsilo:
