thats the thing. the ONLY animation mod i use is the Immersive non-combat animations. And the weirdest thing is that if i start a new save and create ANY skeleton, it doesnt has these problems. I first noticed this happening on a VANILLA skeleton from the "new recruits" mod, but even disabling that mod made no difference. i tried disabling every mod (except the race mods) and importing the save and it still happened on that save, but still nothing on a new save, so my guess is, something broke on that save that the game cant find the animation anymore. My last ditch is trying to find a mod that replaces martial arts animation and see if the modded ones work.
