Animations fail to start

[Avrie]

I'm wondering if this happens to other people and if there is a solution. An example would be walking up to a wood chopping block, or an ore vein, or even the back of a carrage and hitting "E" ... the Camera switches to the "correct" view, but the character just stands there. You have control of the character but the camera is now stuck relative to the original angle of the failed animation.

The only way I've been able to regain control is to "sneak" to lower my crosshairs, and manuver until I can re-select an animation again (either the same one or a different one) I know some of the mods I'm running have had issues with thier own animations and have built in a timer to free you. (IE: Bathing in Skyrim) but this seems to happen to vanilla animations mostly

??? Is there a console command to terminate a stuck animation ???

I have an extensive mod list, I am running FNIS, and have re-run the user generater
Yes I'm fully patched and my load order is mostly stable. I can post my load order but the game is otherwise stable so I won't bother unless requested.

Thanks

Do you used mods like "Dual Sheath Redux", or "XPMSE" and installed or reinstalled a mod based on this? I would say re-run FNIS for Users a second time, but this time as administator.

I had it once, i installed a anim. mod and i didnt notice i had to re-run FNIS, so, everytime i picked my swords, i was floating over the ground, swords held besides my booty and no animation came. Till i re-run FNIS as a administator.

Are you sure, you picked the right checkboxes in the FNIS generator?

Would be helpful to post your mods in your loadorder as a spoiler, so you dont blow this thread :)

[Avrie]

I use XPMSE, and I use ModOrganizer in a seperate game drive so no administrator issues. I can post my load order with no reservations, I did select gender specific files, and the skeleton arm fix in Fnis (also just re-ran the generator ;-)

hmm. I can see nothing interesting in your loadorder. What does the FNIS-Gen says, if you do a consistence-check?

[Avrie]

Had to go run it again... never ran the consistance check. Says I have two possible ... but they're both for an add on to bathing in Skyrim I didn't bother to install, and are not selected so they actually should be missing

Edit ... it does seem to only happen to vanilla animations

[✠ nomzi ✠]

Sometimes, mods affect the vanilla data, w/o change or overwrite, by simply disabling it. And then if you activate a mod (IE this bathing mod) it can disable this vanilla anmiation. Maybe you should deinstall or deactivate this Bathing-mod, check if the problem still accurs. Otherwise i have no ideo, not a single clue what causes the problem.

Thanks again for the input ... I thought of disabling the bathing mod but I know it uses scripts and I don't want my current level 60 char to go boom just yet, LOL The strange thing is it doesn't happen often, and it seems like a glitch in the start command. It's also carried in the save file ...

Ie: I get the glitch climbing onto a carrage, and I'm still "stuck" when I arrive at the destination. I can save and re-start, fast travel ... everything, with the camera still fixed at the original angle.

The TFC command lets me change my perspective and I eventually figure out how to trigger another animation which fixes the problem. (got stuck on a cart to Windhelm, had to walk backwards from memory to where I knew there was a chopping block, got in position, chopped wood, fixed) I just wish there was a console command to terminate animations and I'd be gold.

If you only want to play the animation to fix this issue, THIS shoudl help you out:

I have this as well, so if I click to mine an ore It goes into the correct camera position but my character won't do anything . I can move m player but I can't move the camera and my controls are backwards (W means I go backwards for example). The fix is to trigger another animation like get in to the right position to mine the object again or spawn in some chairs and sit on them. it normally fixes it.
