    Hey, thanks for the reply!

    It's happening to all animals on all surfaces, both indoors and outdoors, whether they are lying down or standing up (see attachment). It happens in both new and saved games, to played pets and NPCs, in all locations, both before and after travel.

    What I do know now is that I was dead wrong about it not being mod or cc related, as the problem did go away when I temporarily removed my entire mods folder. Any tips on how I may narrow it down? If not, I'll go with the 50/50 method 🙂 I don't have any mods or cc items directly related to pets so I can't think of an easy way to identify the culprit.

    EDIT: Did 50/50 and identified the problem. No more, uh, footloose pets!

@fooshiablix  The 50/50 method was probably your best bet: if there wasn't an obvious culprit, guessing one or two mods at a time likely would have taken longer.

Which mod was it?  Naming it is fine, as long as it's not adult-themed; in that case, you could just name the creator, and people would probably know.

And yeah, those last two screenshots are pretty disturbing.

    @puzzlezaddict Unfortunately I don't remember the exact name of it as the file was the initials of the mod and a number that may have been the version number (at this point I have so much cc it's hard to keep track haha), but if anyone's running a mod that's supposed to allow you to edit and tag animations and poses (not sure if it works, I hadn't gotten that far yet), keep an eye out.

    PS. Thanks again, this is alreayd the second time you've come to my aid in the short time I've been playing 🙂

      @fooshiablix  Good to know, thanks.  An animation/pose mod is probably specific enough to help others with the same issue, since most people only use a couple of those at most.
