Sitting won't let me stand up

[glundrux]

Hi. First of all, thanks for the awesome guide, made my life a lot easier.

 

I followed the guide as best I could, I think I did everything right. I have 3 issues actually, the first one is that when I use the "sit" option in game it won't let me stand up again, I get stuck and have to reload. And I can't figure out which mod from the guide is giving me the "sit" option so I can reinstall it?

 

The second one is probably the same one as the third. I waited with installing the optimized textures until after having installed everything else and tried out the game, guide said I could do that. After installing the optimized textures (the ones on Nexus) I deleted the original high res texture files to save space, guide said that was okay too. But now I have two problems, first one is that all my wolfs are purple (only normal map shows up), that was not the case before I did that change. And also, TexGen fails with the error "exception in unit line -1_ Error in unit 'userscript' on line 627: Record, object or class type required".

 

Both of these seem like a texture is missing. But I'm also unsure of which mod gives me the wolf texture? And from what I've been able to google, purple means that a main texture is missing as it would fall back on that if a replacement was used, which fits with me installing the packs and deleting the old textures.

 

Another small glitch I've had since I made this little change that should be insignificant is that Skyrim loses focus during load and my regular windows spinning wheel cursor comes up for a bit, and the load animation freezes, but it works fine once it loads so it doesn't really bother me much.

 

I've used a new game, and tested everything several times and it's the same each time. These things only started happening after I installed the optimized textures, it was not like that the when I used the originals. I've also done what the guide said about re-running the last steps from the part where I run LOOT to the part where I run Skyproc Unified Manager and made sure everything is in it's proper place. Except for the step with TexGen due to the error, I just used the files it generated the first time instead. DynDOLOD.exe runs and finishes without issues by the way.

Update:

 

Still no clue about the getting stuck sitting thing, don't even know where to start looking.

 

After many attempts at fixing my textures I'm sure now that it's the failure of TexGen to run that is causing it, if I just disable DynDOLOD in the load order there are no more purple textures. TexGen fails at "Combining 36 textures into textures\lod\skyhaventemplelod01.dds", it says nothing about missing files. The file exists in the DynDOLOD resources mod, but TexGen is clearly trying to regenerate it. So I went into the DynDOLOD txt files to see if I could find a reference to that texture, and I finally found one in "DynDOLOD_TES5_TexGen_noalpha_skyrimesm.txt", so I went looking for the files it was referencing, which led me to the "DynDOLOD\TexGen_Output\DynDOLOD-temp\textures\architecture\skyhaventemple\" folder. Some of the files had been generated but not all 36, only 14. One of them has no thumbnail, which suggest to me it's corrupt so I'm guessing that's where it fails. That file is named "skyhavenstonedetails_n.dds", which I can't find in my mod directory, or anywhere else for that matter. I googled for it, and out of the few references that came up was an old file list for a very old version of Optimized HD Skyrim Textures. So I'm now re-downloading the pack from Nexus for the third time, so I can open it with 7zip and see if the texture is in there. If it's not I guess I'll be forced to re-download the HD textures from Steam and generate the optimized ones myself.

 

Would still really appreciate some input from someone who has some experience with this stuff.

Did you uncheck "Have MO manage archives" in the Archives tab of the right pane before running TexGen?

[glundrux]

Yes, I did try that a few times, both with the files loose and with just the bsa installed. I think the files in "...\Mod Organizer\mods\Optimized Vanilla Textures - HD\textures\architecture\skyhaventemple\" are corrupt or empty, all 5 of them, they don't have a thumbnail and they're only 1kb each.

 

I'm gonna try optimizing the the Bethesda textures myself tomorrow, I'd don't have enough space on my SSD so I'll have to borrow a computer to do it. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

Do you know which mod the "sit" option comes from? I'm thinking it's the "sit anywhere" mod but it's not on the list in the guide so maybe it was packaged with some other mod?

[Greg]

I'm using the STEP Optimized Vanilla Textures - Standard Version 1.2 and I haven't experienced any issue with corrupt textures. I also haven't experienced any issue with not being able to stand after sitting, although I have not used Sit Anywhere yet.

[glundrux]

Turns out that the 1kb files were not the problem, I made optimized textures myself and I still get the same error in the exact same place. So I tried using the unmodified texture packs from Steam, putting it back exactly the way it was the first time I ran TexGen without issues, and I still get the same error at the same place. So now I'm completely out of ideas. I'm not gonna reinstall everything, first time took me 2 day to get all 360 or so mods configured exactly like the guide said, might just have to give up on this project for now. Thanks anyways, appreciate it.

[glundrux]

Okay, I decided to do a little more testing after all. First I went into "DynDOLOD_TES5_TexGen_noalpha_skyrimesm.txt", the scripts in the DynDOLOD app folder, and delete all references to skyhaven and ran TexGen again. That time it fails with the same error but at "snowrocks01lod.dds". But the interesting part is that when I restored the backup with all the references to skyhaven intact, and delete all temporary files and files generated on the last run and run TexGen again, it still fails at "snowrocks01lod.dds" and it now generates the "skyhaventemplelod01.dds" without complaining. So now it seems like it's an issue with TexGen itself, like that it uses a file or files that are left over from a previous run maybe?

Mod that allows you to sit anywhere is INeed.  Pressing spacebar or 'jump' should allow you to stand back up.

[glundrux]

Ah, thanks a lot.

 

After lots of messing around with TexGen my problem of purple textures just got worse and worse. I even started getting out of memory crashes after a while, probably due to messing with the ini files and running win 10 forces me to have too little vram anyway. So I deleted everything, cleaned out my registry and made sure I got rid of any traces of everything related to Skyrim and modding, and now I'm gonna do the whole thing over again after all.

[glundrux]

Hi again. I did the whole guide over again now, and it fixed my whole TexGen issue. But I still can't stand back up after sitting with the sit command. Sitting on chairs the regular way works fine, but sit from iNeed gets me stuck and no amout of jumping or anything else can get me unstuck. Not a big deal, I can just not use it, just figured I'd let you guys know.

Just for testing... have you tried disabling skyrim enhanced camera ? I had problems like being stuck on enchanting table after activation with that mod enabled on a past SRLE installation.

[glundrux]

Yes, that actually did fix it, I can stand up if I disable skyrim enhanced camera. I'd still rather sacrifice the sitting than the enhanced camera but at least we know what's causing it.

[pt1f4b]

I'm glad that solution worked out for you. But i found this mod (Skyrim enhanced camera) really buggy with some of the packs mods. I remember having those weird camera lock issues with just an extended STEP install... It's quite hard to find evidence of what is really happening here because, for me, that kind of bug didn't show up everytime, just randomly, so it's hard to know what's going on. The best solution was to effectively disable it. Sad, because i really liked it 

[Nozzer66]

It's strange. Lots have people have had trouble with that mod. I've been using it for years and never had an issue...
