Weapon draw animation issues.

[Liftedplane]

Figured this was a good place to ask, I recently reinstalled skyrim and a few mods and for some reason every single time I start I have to go into the XPMSE MCM menu and tick sword on back then wait a second for the proper animation to show. if I don't do this it simply draws the sword from my hip even though the sword is clearly on my back.

I'm using Realistic Ragdolls and force, CBBE, HDT, FNIS, Pretty combat animations Pretty cast animations and XPMSE everything works alright except this one thing and I can't figure out what's causing it.

Load order sorted with LOOT? What mod management tool do you use? Was XPMSE the last mod installed? Did you choose Pretty Combat in the XPMSE FOMOD installer?

[Liftedplane]

I am using NMM sorted with loot, xpmse was installed before PCA.... I did choose the pretty combat animations in XPMSE

Try reinstalling XPMSE. Nothing should overwrite it. When you redo your FNIS, post the report, the part in the white area after you update.

Finally got home, reinstalled xpmse without uninstalling anything else,

Ran FNIS and here's what it kicked out, no errors as far as I can tell... hopefully it is still running as well as it did last night

You haven't posted a load order, making it necessary to ask, do you have NetImmerse Override OR RaceMenu installed? (FNIS looks okay to me.)

[Liftedplane]

actually it's all working fine now... bows arrows, daggers swords, 2h and dual... just had to reinstall XPMSE I let loot auto sort.

I did get rid of Deadly Dragons... the features weren't worth the bugs and Legacy of the Dragonborn is giving me zero issues finally.

thanks for the help

Awesome. For future reference, with Mod Organizer, all you need do is sort the left pane to fix this kind of thing. Not such a big deal if you're just doing a simple reinstall like here. But, when things get more complicated it becomes much easier to manage. I wouldn't do it now, but if you redo your mods at some point, I'd consider it.

[cfs111]

Nice!! Glad that did it. You must have had something overwrite that portion of XPMSE's animations.

[Liftedplane]

I think that pretty combat animation overwrote XPMSE.

I decided to play skyrim again after a year and was all "oh I'll update my mods"

no... not a good idea... I'll probably never be able to play that old save again. unless I take the time to seriously clean it.

XPMSE actually has the PCA anims in its installer as options, doesn't it?

[cfs111]

Yes it does, not sure if they are part of or if you choose the ones you want. And I think (may be wrong) that xpmse has the idles from PCA.

[Liftedplane]

it has the weapon draw animations but not the running and idle animations.
