Yeah i know right, another weirdo downloading these mods etc. etc. … whatever man

However, i have had some big f*ckin problems with this mod. I am not sure what exactly is causing the problems, and thats kind of my question. But anyways, i'll start with the symptoms.

I downloaded OSA and Osex, as well as ALL required mods for it to work (in the exact order as tutorials tell you to). I went into the game, i got the OSA menu up no problem (except big delays sometimes, however this is probably separate problems). I found the Osex button and everything in the menus looked right to me. However, the problems start when i press play animation. It takes a while for it to start (again probably a separate issue) and when it does the two characters are making the pose as if they are holding each other but are standing a few meters away from each other, sometimes also facing away from each other. I read somewhere that the "moveto player …" command might help here, wich it doesn't at all most of the times. However, i got it to work once but they where moving away from each other again straight away. Every animation works perfectly except that the characters are away from each other. Changing between animations doesn't matter, the problem remains. Another thing that is very common is that when the animation starts my character is falling through the ground or moving sideways out of the map.

I just realized that i can't seem to find Osex in the Data files when i start Skyrim. Im not sure if this is relevant to my problem since if it where it feels like it shouldn't show up in the game at all.

On the FNIS page on Nexus these where the presented solutions for animation issues:
"You have ignored ERRORS or WARNINGS in your last generator run. Don't do this. They are there for some reason."
– i have not ignored any warnings as far as im aware of.

"You are running a cracked Skyrim. In the past apparant cracks have shown symptoms I have not seen in Steam versions."
– nope, paid steam version.

"Your game cache is corrupted. Run Steam Verify Cache (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim -> RMB -> Properties -> Local Files -> Verify Integrity Game Cache …). Another reason not to use cracks."
– yes, have done this. it changed nothing.

"You are running a custom skeleton which comes with a skeleton.nif only, and not a corresponding skeleton.hkx. Installing XP32 Maximum Skeleton Extended – XPMSE first usually should fix the problem."
– tried downloading just in case, nothing changed.
