Hello,
I have a strange problem when trying to make my game working correctly. I followed a Skyrim modding guide (Skyrim Revisited), and with a few of my own mods mixed in. I got everything installed correctly, it is all working fine, Dydnolod, dynamic patches (Asis, perma, dual sheath redux, automatic variants, fnis, rspatch, vivid snow). However, I am running into a problem that I can not seem to fix. Ingame a lot of the NPC's will not move their lips when talking, some move their lips correctly, and some move something (the beard, like a mouth inside a mouth). I narrowed down my mods to figure out which one is causing it, and I noticed that as soon as I disable the bashed patch & merged patch, it is gone. But when both are enabled, the problem is there.
I tried several things: 1) first rebuilding bashed patch -> creating merged patch (with bashed patch selected to load in TES5Edit) -> removing leveled lists from merged patch -> load merged patched after bashed patch, this did not fix my problem,
2) I tried the reverse, first making a merged patch and deleting the leveled lists from the merged patch and then rebuilding the bashed patch, this did not help either.
3) I tried option 1 & 2 but with also importing the leveled lists from the bashed patch to the merged patch.
I am not sure what to do now, It won't go away and I can't play a normal game this way. Without the bashed and merged patch but with everything else activated things look fine with the NPC's.
I read it is best to have a bashed patch and a merged patch, so I would hope there is a way to fix it, maybe something I forgot?
