Don't forget to run the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe after installing any animation packs/mods
C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Animation Troubleshooting:

1. in my opinion, Mod Managers should be avoided like the plague (i hate all of them).
but if you insist on using one, make sure that it's installing the files to the right location.
note: Mod Managers may require extra steps to get FNIS working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iukqiPz7XuU

2. run/rerun the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe, if you don't the animations wont work/run.
C:\Games\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe
skyrim special edition creature framework How to get it? skyrim special edition creature framework
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe
WARNING: Windows (Vista/7/8/10) Security may interfere with updating/overwriting the FNIS behavior files.
you may not even get a error message telling you that this has happened.
make sure FNIS and your mod manager are running with administrator privileges.

3. when you start the game with the Skyrim Script Extender (SKSE) loader the list of installed mods wont get refreshed, so if you install a mod and just start the game with the loader any new mods you installed wont be fully activated. to fix this problem go to the skyrim launcher and click on "DATA FILES" and it will refresh the list of installed mods, you can now close the launcher and start the game with the skse loader.

4. in game you need to go inside SexLab's Mod Control Menu (MCM) and click on "install" first before you can use SexLab.

5. make sure you have "Allow Creature Animation" checked in SexLab's MCM settings.

6. turn off "Match Creature Gender" in sexlab's MCM settings, if this setting is enabled some animations won't play, its because most creatures don't have female counterparts in skyrim by default.

7. did you forget to install the FNIS Creature Pack? install it and rerun the GenerateFNISforUsers.exe, then do steps 5 & 8

8. you may need to reload the animations, go to the Animation Loader's MCM and then:
8.1. click on the "Disable All" button.
8.2. click on "Rebuild Animation Registry", then Wait for the message to pop up*.
8.3. click on "Reload JSON".
skyrim special edition creature framework How to use it? skyrim special edition creature framework
8.4. click on "Enable All".
8.5. click on the "Add to Registry" button, then Wait for the message to pop up*.
*if you like you can press "~" on your keyboard to open the console so you can watch it Register everything, just make sure you close it before you try to click on anything.

9. if all else fails, try loading a older save file from before sexlab was installed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creature Framework Troubleshooting:

"Creature Framework API reference not found. Make a clean save and try again" error and/or the MCM for Creature Framework is missing:
skyrim special edition creature framework How to use it? skyrim special edition creature framework
you need to install the .bsa file from Sexlab Aroused to fix this problem.

Aroused mesh not getting applied during animations:
go to the Creature Framework MCM and click on "Re-register all mods", then unpause the game and Wait a Minute.
note: if you have SexLab Aroused fully installed you may need to lower the "Arousal threshold" setting in the Creature Framework MCM.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
FNIS Troubleshooting:

"ERROR(9): Index was outside the bounds of the array" or "ERROR(2026): Too many animations":
skyrim special edition creature framework How to get it? skyrim special edition creature framework
you have Too many animation mods and/or SLAL Packs installed, use the "XXL" version of FNIS or uninstall some animations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Papyrus Tweaks:

from: http://wiki.step-project.com/Guide_talk:Troubleshooting
the problem with installing script heavy mods is that the default Papyrus settings are not capable of handling the additional stress. 
This tweak should increase stability, and needs to be added to the Skyrim.ini file under the [Papyrus] section. 
Your Skyrim.ini can be found in My Documents\My Games\Skyrim

skyrim special edition creature framework How to dowload it? skyrim special edition creature framework
[Papyrus]
fUpdateBudgetMS=1.6
fExtraTaskletBudgetMS=1.6
fPostLoadUpdateTimeMS=1000.0
bEnableLogging=0
bEnableTrace=0
bLoadDebugInformation=0
iMaxMemoryPageSize=8192
iMinMemoryPageSize=256
iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes=8388608

note: you should only have logging turned on (bEnableLogging=1) if you are actively trying to find a problem. 
the rest of the time it's just a drain on system resources and it can cause extra stress for the papyrus system.
therefor if you have it on all the time it can potentially become a part of the problem your trying to fix.
it only logs the scripts anyways, so if you have a problem like a deleted world object or a bad navmesh the log won't say anything helpfull.

you should be doing this if you have such a problem:
